An exciting new talent, Johnny Vulgar and the Additional Pylons played Untapped Talent @ Teviot Underground. Already attracting a dedicated following, Johnny Vulgar are a band to watch in the coming year.
The delighted whooping coming from the audience set the tone for an enthusiastic performance. Lead guitarist Kapil Seshayasee has developed an intricate guitar sound, overarching the rhythm bass that is reminiscent of Mogwai. Vocalist Chris Charles has a light and almost feminine voice that gives the band a softer edge: an interesting twist to the music that keeps the audience listening.
The highlight of the set was ‘Space Heater’, a melodic track laced with a slightly heavier drumbeat and a neatly contrasting, clear flute melody.
Recording a demo set for this summer, Johnny Vulgar and the Additional Pylons are an interesting and engaging talent that have the potential for great success.
