Simplicity is often a winning component in a brutish rock machine, something not lost on stripped-back aggressors, Little Fish. This Oxford duo (trio if you count the cameo key player) had the awkward task this evening, of warming up one of Britain’s best-loved pop acts, Blondie. It was probably a coy choice that another pop act wasn’t chosen to share the same stage then, as naturally, Blondie would’ve make them look a little amateurish.
Luckily, Little Fish take a hard line approach to their music, employing the grit a gall of Hole and the over-exposed rawness of PJ Harvey. Despite these reference points, Little Fish refrain from becoming a feminist activist group and simply plough though a solid set of catchy lo-fi rock. The huge, operatic setting of the Apollo Theatre probably negated some of the immediacy usually coupled with this type of sound, but to suggest these guys were a little fish in a big pond would be a gross injustice. ‘Darling Dear’ and ‘Am I Crazy’ render Little Fish a fearsome predator (a piranha if you will) armed with an infectious and ballsy breed of Americana, which might just have smaller venues by the short and curlies over the coming months.
