In a parallel universe Top Of The Pops still exists, and Art Brut are on it every week.

Our MC for Art Brut's show on a freezing Sunday night was the flop-fringed Eddie Argos, who must be a new musical icon for the Noughties.

His speaking/singing voice dissected modern romance and the pop music scene, while flying off at tangents to exhort the crowd to start their own bands and add snatches of classic songs.

Lyrics of favourites like Formed A Band were updated to include the rise of internet record-buying and bemoan the loss of his favourite weekly music programme. And when he wasn't on the mic Eddie was throwing himself into the audience with wild abandon.

But it wasn't just a one-man show. The band was focused on putting on a great performance in true face-front Ramones style, with drummer Mikey Breyer up on his feet during the whole gig rather than hiding behind his cymbals.
