I bought tickets for this gig on a bit of whim, I saw them support Frightened Rabbit last year and liked their sound...plus King Tut's is about 10 minutes from my flat and I predicted (correctly) that I'd probably need a pint after my first post holiday day at work.
Three Blind Wolves are Glasgow based and clearly relished playing at the holy grail of Glasgow venues, King Tut's Wah Wah Hut. The band were great and the venue was packed out. Sweaty. Very sweaty.
Soaring four way harmonies, unexpected surges in volume and endearingly honest lyrics that suggest a fair bit of heartbreak make this band one to watch. 'Emily Rose' and self titled track 'Three Blind Wolves' were particular favourites.
It's a style of music hard to pin down but try to imagine a dirtier, bluesier Mumford and Sons with extra kick crossed with a bluegrass tinged Frightened Rabbit.... Or just buy their their recently released album Sound of the Storm, it's been on repeat on my iPod all week.
The band are playing Stereo, another of Glasgow's little gems, in October. Get a ticket, you won't be disappointed!
