NYLON PYLON

Brooks Club, Accrington

PROMISING Mancunians Nylon Pylon justified their media when they played in Accrington this week.

Ritchie Stubbs, a bizarre look-alike to Toploader's Joseph Washbourne, and his group began to pick up the pieces after a poor performance from the Frightened Prisioners of Kraken.

They opened a set of golden greats, which in years to come will be played to thousands rather than barely 100. Recent signing to Clint Boon's, Faction Music label, the quartet played for just 40 minutes, leaving the crowd desperate for more. A cross between the Chemical brothers and swarve indie heroes Soulwax, for Nylon Pylon it's Accrington today, tomorrow the world!
