Sandman Magazine Reviews TFF Gig
Jon Daley, of Sandman Magazine, reviewed TFF's March 3rd gig at The Vine :
"The First Few seem to draw a pretty big crowd. Things get a lot more sing-along now, with a big bag of lively acoustic numbers for fans to clap to. They've nothing groundbreakingly original to offer, but they do get me in the mood for batting a giant balloon around."
To be honest, I'm not quite sure what point Jon's making with this, apart from that the stuff we do with TFF tends to be pretty melodic and memorable. The night we were reviewed we played alongside 'Dog City', 'The Experts' and 'Amida', none of whom were terribly groundbreaking. I'm not sure how original a rock band can aspire to be in 2006, with 50-plus years of material already written and recorded in this very specific genre.
In any case, you should be able to read the full review, including Jon's remarks about the other bands that played The Vine on 3rd March, by visiting the Sandman Magazine website.
