The phrase dance rock, like the words vegetarian sausage, fills me with dread.

I like my music meaty so I was not sure what to expect from Hackney five-piece The Infadels and their punk-funk fusion.

But while they took a bit of time to convince me musically, they were as compulsively watchable as Celebrity Big Brother.

Shaven-headed frontman Bnaan, dressed all in black, had a touch of Nosferatu about him, but with better nails and slicker moves.

Dapper guitarist Matty also looked the part in his Mick Jones-style hat, braces and lowslung guitar, while the band's shaggy-haired percussionist flailed about behind his box of electric tricks like the nutter at the end of Texas Chainsaw Massacre - genuinely scary.

The trio were backed by a loose rhythm section which gave their sound the human touch so often missing in dance music.

They opened their set with the "instant classic" Love Like Semtex - an explosive mix which drilled its way into my head.

A couple of songs in I was still a bit unconvinced until Reality TV, which Bnann dedicated to CBB star and Brighton resident Preston, converted me as Chainsaw Man let rip on the keyboards.

The new single, Can't Get Enough, apparently recorded in the studio next door to Madonna, had a riff that would strip paint and will be a sure-fire hit if it gets the airplay the band deserve.

The Infadels built to a ferocious finish and by the end, a 40-something rocker with a mullet was giving it large on the dancefloor. Say no more.
