Aaron and I checked out Sons and Daughters and Happy Stuart and the Sleepy Zeds last night at the Venue. Fantastic show in my opinion, was impressed with the folky SAD and the melancholic soundscapes of the Z’s. The addition of the mighty Bee Thousand to the bill would have been a complete error of judgement.
Interesting conversations in Pevo beforehand however (in between the Z’s having to nip away because of their hayfever) regarding the existence of a “HumanZee”. I’ve done a bit of digging this morning and come across this and this regarding Oliver. Makes for interesting reading, very Elephant Man-esque.

I still think The Kills Juniors was a fairer band name. With some Proclaimers magic thrown in. Excellent hobbit sound.
The Zeds were fine but too much indulgent widdle to make extended standing-up viewing comfortable.
As I smugly expected the ‘humanzee’ is a myth, a real genetic oddity but wildly misreported. Never let the truth get in the way of a good story as they say. Endearingly taken at face value by the Zeds’ none-too-bright drummer.
Was nice to see that Ligers and Tigons exist though.
