He may be forty, but Brett Anderson put on a pretty darn good show at Bush Hall tonight. Of course, I remembered after about 3 seconds what my problem with Suede gigs always was: I can never take my eyes off Matt Osman. Not, I add in a leisurely fashion, due to hopeless physical attraction; it’s because he weaves like a snake and I turn into a wholly hypnotised rabbit. Genius stage presence. Makes your man Mr. A look a little showy, which is a shame, since he’s putting heart and sweat into the whole frontman thing, but nonetheless mesmerising. A darklooks.com recommended gig of the year.
