Bringing the delights of New York to their bright melodies, The Virgins have created a sensation in their debut tour of Scotland. King Tut’s was packed full of eager fans, demonstrating the band’s growing international fame.
Offering a rock’n’roll edge to the indie music scene, The Virgins gave a fresh and energising performance. Their music is danceable and full of a vitality that sets them apart from some of their British counterparts. This is a dynamic band that seemed to be having an even better time than the crowd. The musician’s enthusiasm gave the performance a buzz, marking them out as a great live act.
Highlights of the night were ‘Teen Lovers’, a catchy and poppy tune that had the floor bopping; and a rendition of Squeeze’s ‘Up The Junction’, a memorable finale and tribute to one of their major influences. Only treated to one encore, the crowd were left calling for more from the New Yorkers.
Embarking upon a UK-wide tour and with an album already available to purchase, The Virgins have carried off their UK debut with aplomb. The Virgins are definitely one to watch, and may be playing T in the Park this summer. Their vitality and enjoyable band ethos could see them rise to the fore of the music scene
