Dananananaykroyd @ Cabaret Voltaire, 7 Apr

Favours For Sailors (***) have seemingly been winning a few influential fans recently, but it's not really apparent here why. They sound like a band more in thrall to Stephen Malkmus' solo records than his more celebrated Pavement material. Regardless, their harmless pizza banter and competent show is utterly blown away by that which follows.

Glasgow's Dananananaykroyd (*****) have been proclaimed the best live band in Britain in recent times. Who by? Anyone in attendance at one of their shows up and down the land. Dananan need two drumkits to batter out their relentless sprawling rhythms, two singers to scream, yell and work the crowd, and just a few songs to get everyone into a frenzy. Both vocalists and guitarist break the fourth wall by spilling into the crowd and cheering along with us; it's gallus, but nothing compared to the cuddling outbreak they manipulate like impudent preachers, or the final song that's sung off-stage by the crowd in chorus. And it got better from there. You have to see it to believe.
