Caribou and Born Ruffians set to play Belfast

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 30 Apr 2008

Moving On Music have announced two acts for their lineup in the Black Box, on May 20th. Caribou a.k.a. Daniel Snaith, released his debut album Start Breaking My Heart in 2001, under the moniker, Manitoba. He released a further three albums under this name. Hailing from Ontario, Canada, Snaith currently lives in London, but is a fond favourite on the Belfast scene.

Supporting Caribou will be fellow Canadians, Born Ruffians, who recently released their debut LP Red, Yellow and Blue. Their popularity skyrocketed after music from the LP was featured on E4’s hit teen series, Skins.

Doors open at 8pm on Tuesday, May 20th. Tickets are priced £10 and £7 and are available from the Black Box by calling 028 9024 4400, or online from www.movingonmuisc.co.uk.

Melody Day

Caribou (AKA Dan Snaith, formerly known as Manitoba) makes music that is more compelling on paper than on record. ‘Melody Day’, for instance, features a mixture of surf guitar, bedroom laptronica and blissful psychedelia. Sounds exciting? Well, it’s not. The song is brusque and busy, and the production attempts to cram rather too much into a tight space. Frustrating, as there is a great track buried in here somewhere.

Melody Day

Dan Snaith pushes his psychedelic pop boat out further than ever with ‘Melody Day’, which explodes out of the speakers like day-glo Brian Wilson on a sugar-rush.
