On my first look of The Kazimier it became clear this wasn’t your average venue. Think Independence Day meets a bordello, and you get a little closer to how the layout was. The old style venue was clashing with the new style of dance Delphic where bringing forward this evening. Keyboards with guitars inst a new idea, but the hype machine has reared its ugly head with the boys being compared to New Order, and such. Solid, consistent run of the mill music or a game changer, let’s find out!
Before that we get Mirrors who as soon as they head out you think poor man Kraftwerk with their sharp suits and grim expressions. As soon as they start their love of 80’s synth (boy do they stick to this formula) you still thinking poor man Kraftwerk, and is this it? I might have well been seeing a covers band instead of the blandness on show here. I’m not even convinced that Mirrors are about the music as more effort was put in to making a spectacle, and stand out visually rather than musically. The matching suits, the monotone expressions, and the big screen playing short films above them. Even visually they failed as these short films where just pointless, a camera spinning around a tree for four minutes. Need I say more? Amidst all the forgettable music on show one song named ‘Into the Heart’ which for a few minutes made this set a bearable watch.
If Mirrors are to go progress they really need to look at what they’re here for, to play music or just play out their own arty wet dreams.

After fighting the urge to venture to the toilet thus not losing my great vantage point of the stage I noticed that the house lights (or lack of) where missing in attendance…cutbacks eh!
With all the praise heaped upon Delphic in such a short space of time, the majority of people where possibly here based on what they read or heard. It possibly showed in the first part of the set as allot of people nodded away to openers ‘Carrion Call’ and ‘Doubt’ feeling the band out, and trying to get adjusted to the many dynamics the band have in their sound. These dynamics are the reason Delphic stand out in the first place, keyboards that make a nod to dance music new and old, but they have that added twist with drums, and guitar that makes there mark instead of filling a void or being in the background. Neither of these components overlaps the other, and one impresses just as much as the other. This works best on the longer songs like ‘Red Lights’ or ‘Counterpoint’ which really got the crowd sweaty, and where the stand out songs in a very solid set. The crowd where won over by the end. Any doubts about this band can be put in the bin. There sound inst as remarkable as other people would make it seem, but they do have the tools, and the confidence to go further sooner rather than later.

Also on a separate note the visual aspect of Delphic set was certainly a added bonus it certainly brought more to the set. I didn’t want to mention that in the review after me berating the previous band for focusing on visuals rather than the sound. Saves all the hypocrite comments
