TEMPLES rocked onto the stage with the Wallace Collection’s ‘Daydream’ track – released in 1969.
It was an appropriate and self-indulgent choice, before the Kettering newbies performed their own vintage ‘60s pop rock.
Sun Structures is the band’s debut album which frontman James Bagshaw says they are ‘very happy to be playing’.
Bagshaw and his band look and play like rockers too. Leaving the lengthy frizzy bob of hair and the commanding guitar chord playing behind, he possesses a real stage presence.
Colours to Life set up the rest of the short-but-sweet set well. Move With The Season swayed the crowd if only briefly, before Keep in the Dark reminded the public what they had actually come to a revamped Fire Station for. A track akin to The Zutons five years ago, the psychedelic dance thrill was unquestionably feel-good.
Temples impressed, so much so, that a teen got on to the stage late-on with a Beatlemania-inspired cameo – only for the resident bouncer to curtail any bigger dreams.
