California Cousin made full use of the onstage projection and even showed the clip for their newest single, ‘Black Eyes’ as a back drop to play against. The fashionably presented trio had all the cameras flashing at their understated style and smooth delivery. They presented as a tight knit group and played a variety of original poppy rock tunes, with a stand out cover of (the artist formally known as? Or just good old) Prince’s 'Sign O The Times', which got the audience moving. The crowd seemed to be from all walks of life, young and old, and all seemed to really enjoy the performance. California Cousin fed off the interaction from the audience, at one stage asking them to come up closer and dance for the band. There wasn’t too much stage banter or posturing, California Cousin seem to be genuine in their fun approach to rock, and looked like they really enjoy what they do. | Review by Zoe Mitchell.
