Memories of five days of musical madness
2003
Overview
Easily meeting and exceeding high expectations set by their seething debut, Chat And Business, these prickly young Brits justified the entire trip to Texas in a single, electrifying performance. The frenetic record promised a certain, blinding level of intensity, but Ikara Colt- three stylish indie boys and a fiendishly noisy girl guitarist- proved a real joy to watch, too, dispensing practiced poses and post-punk pummelling in equal measure and turning several hundred heat stricken SXSW refugees into giddy teenagers. Soft-spoken singer Paul Resende is a rock showman who has nicked the best moves from Mick Jagger and Iggy Pop. When Ikara Colt opens for Sahara Hotnights at the Horseshoe on April 3, you are strongly encouraged to be there. A boozy busman's holiday for Young Fresh Fellow Scott McCaughey, R.E.M.'s Peter Buck, Model Rocket John Ramberg and sometime Ministry (!!!) drummer Bill Rieflin, this late-afternoon set at Austin's pre- eminent indie record shop was a total gas. The sight of four immensely talented players having a laugh with McCaughey's punchy, four-chord power-pop songbook was enough, but the shaggy frontman's droll, half-cut between-song banter was as entertaining as his tunes. Looking for all the world like a pack of 12-year-olds who'd slipped into the bar with fake IDs, youthful, 905-spawned space- country ensemble Cuff the Duke played an all-Canadian showcase hosted by Toronto's North by Northeast festival to a slightly diminished crowd after packed and powerful showcases by Broken Social Scene and Montreal's the Stills. The Three Gut Records underdogs rose to the occasion, however, nimbly switching gears from country jangle to prog-rock majesty to shoegazer guitar grind in an evening-capping set that showed off Cuff the Duke's remarkable musicianship and old-beyond-their-years songwriting abilities.
