Very nice show, built mostly around Remind Me Tomorrow, opening with "Jupiter 4" (exceedingly gothy including in the red and white lighting and smoke and pulsatingly exciting, the band having aptly walked on stage to another reference point in Portishead), then going straight into the clatter of "Comeback Kid" and then the stomp of "No One's Easy To Love".
All the Remind Me Tomorrow songs punched through, with the most new light for me shed on "Memorial Day", which I hadn't realised before is another on the goth/dream-pop spectrum (though more in the 'early Cocteau Twins' vein), and she dug way back for a handful of older songs - I would've enjoyed more, but time is fleeting - including "Serpents" from Tramp and a charmingly laid back "One Day" from all the way back to Epic.
Support act: BATTS - great voice, so-so songs, sweet cover of Gillian Welch's "Everything Is Free".
