Deer Shed festival – review

The family-friendly Deer Shed festival provided a 'very civilised' afternoon lineup, but the evening brought spicier acts, and then a shared mournful moment in impromptu tribute to Amy Winehouse, writes Dave Simpson

The Go! Team - Proof of Youth

GRIP LIKE A VICE

0.12 Beyond the wan, grey confines of miserablist indie, there's a mad, bouncy, technicoloured party going on - a party where every tambourine-basher, rapper and sampler-twiddler are having the time of their merry young lives. Oh yes! The Go! Team, Brighton's bubbliest six-piece, are back, kicking off proceedings with a lovely, soft Far-Eastern guitar motif. Have the Team let their fizziness flatten, like an old bottle of Dandelion and Burdock?

0.22 Eh up, the drums are kicking in.

0.27 And vocals! My Burdock runneth over!

1.23 "Girls are you with us? 'Cos we all know what we're talking about -all the ladies...YEAH!" Ninja's rapping vocal is louche, arch-eyebrowed, and snaps around her words like smooth fingers.Organs roll, drums bang, tussle and rustle, and shouty vocals echo behind her - this, it would appear, is the sound of a band having the most fun in the world.

Trash hits

Confusing, tough and above all, exciting - that's how Go! Team want to sound. Dorian Lynskey puts the masters of sass to the test.
