Let’s Wrestle’s ramshackle nature belies singer Wesley Patrick Gonzalez’s ear for a crafty hook.

Yes, live, his voice seemed to stretch like a rubber band as he sung the lines holding the band’s skeletal sonics together, but it was never a case of square pegs in round holes.

Their recent third record might have added a few strings and horns to the 90s American-influenced winsome pop, but with only his shaggy, out-of-bed-looking bandmates joining on this short tour, it was a typical, energetic, unpretentious and all-killer Let’s Wrestle show.

Poignant recollections of the 2011 London riots are the theme of the new single Rain Ruins Revolution, a cracker Gonzalez introduced matter of factly as “all right”.

It’s far better than all right and the strongest link to the best they have done so far – tracks such as I’m In Love With Destruction, Diana’s Hair which sounded as fresh as ever and stayed the right side of raucous.

Blokes bounced off each other at the front, sweat dripped from the walls and Gonzalez’s odd-fitting black glasses slipped down his nose so often he played the last tracks half blind.

Drummer Darkus Bishop tossed Smirnoff to guitarist Max Claps between songs, bassist Luke Tristram forgot the notes to the new single, but somehow this South Coast jolly remained tighter than a wrestler’s leotard.
