Fresh off the back of their US tour with Mom Jeans. and Oso Oso, Minnesota’s\u00a0Tiny Moving Parts<\/strong> make their Cardiff debut to a sold out crowd in the Welsh capital. With the band’s label, Big Scary Monsters in town hosting a pop-up shop, there’s a definite buzz for the famed energetic live shows of the math-rock trio, helped by their shop takeover held a couple of hours before doors which has encouraged a sizeable audience to amass for the local supports.<\/p>\n

Tacet<\/strong> confidently take the stage and instantly treat the crowd to an American Football inspired riff, before hitting a more melodic stride, almost like a less chaotic\u00a0Tiny Moving Parts<\/strong>. Duelling singers and tight riffs and drum fills from all three members make for show with so many elements to enjoy at once. Their performance was assisted by the dedication of the band, who seem passionate about the music they’re playing. It comes as a surprise that this is only their fourth gig, with their third being an opening slot for The Xcerts just a couple of weeks ago. Though they have no recorded music or merchandise as of yet,\u00a0Tacet<\/strong> seem to have won over a local crowd who will anticipate their first release. (4\/5)<\/p>\n

Indie-pop mob\u00a0Orchards\u00a0<\/strong>are next. Having announced a signing to\u00a0Big Scary Monsters last week, the band are out to impress on their first tour under the label. Any pressure seems non-existent as the band kick off their set which consists of bouncy, colourful indie-pop numbers sung with impressive range from vocalist Lucy Evers. Her more reserved audience interaction is offset by her energy during the songs as she kicks and dances around the stage. A few fans have come over from Orchards’<\/strong> in-store set earlier in the evening, and are adding great atmosphere to an already enjoyable performance. The band play a handful of new songs amongst fan favourites, receiving a positive reception from the whole room. A huge cheer rises for them as the band finish their last song, graciously thanking the Cardiff crowd. With tight performances like that, it won’t be long before\u00a0Orchards<\/strong> are taking over the festival circuit. (4\/5)<\/p>\n
