The bands first gig went off great,they got a brilliant review...from chromewaves..(http://www.chromewaves.net/index.php?itemid=2328)
ClockworkmargaretSometimes something shows up in your inbox (or in this case, your MySpace friends requests) that out of the blue, just beguiles you. And by "you", I mean me. It's probably far too early to judge Liverpool's Clockworkmargaret - after all, they look barely out of their teens (if even that old), haven't had even a half dozen rehearsals and I think they played their first-ever gig last night. Yet they have some recorded output available on their MySpace and the one song - a cover of my possibly my favourite Elliott Smith song - is just wonderful. The sweetness of the Catherine's voice combined with her Scouse accent suits the song's delicate melody perfectly, imbueing the song with youthful innocence rather than Smith's weariness. And when Jini's harmonies come in at the very end, it's sublime. Barely two minutes long and yet it somehow breaks my heart. The original on offer is not surprisingly a good deal rougher, but still displays a lot of potential. As I said, it's probably still waaaaay too early to place bets but I'm definitely keen to hear what they do next.MP3: Clockworkmargaret - "Say Yes"MP3: Clockworkmargaret - "She"np - Early Day Miners / Offshore
