Official Secrets Act at the Social

Went to see Frontiers (www.myspace.com/frontiersofficial) last night, supporting Official Secrets Act. They put on a good solid set, their new material's evolved since last time I saw them (at Rescue Rooms not so very long ago) and their frontman's falcetto really was top notch in the one section of a song that made prolonged use of it. I think their performance is currently too music orientated though - could do with more showiness, but there's a fine line between that and looking like arrogant something-or-others...

The headliners, Official Secrets Act (www.myspace.com/officialsecretsact) were more showy - fairly camp if they don't mind me saying, and fairly entertaining because of it. Their quirky dancing made me more inclined to hear out a set of synthy dance-rock falling somewhere in the Franz Ferdinand / We Are Scientists ball park. But sort of different. Haha don't listen to me, listen to them.

J-Malk.
