Patrick Watson @ King Tuts 19th Sept 2007

Bright Shiny Lights. Indie 4 piece from Montreal played King Tuts - were relaxed and having fun. The Patrick Watson band offer lots of flowing space and fun theatrical percussion with their music. They used anything at hand – a balloon, a jacket over the guitar, effects pedals, more...the band mixed things up with light fun rhythms, echoing each other…. No rules! No genre. Having fun with it, with playful percussion, varied soundscapes, and expressive vocals. Coming out of Montreal’s fervent music scene, the band has a new album out ‘Close to Paradise.’ You sense they come out of a rich heritage of blues, jazz and more and shake it up to make it their own.
