Sunhouse

The main support act, Nottingham's Sunhouse, came on stage blasting into "Monkey Dead" and "Bad (Loud) Crowd" - songs with a bluesy undercurrent that rip into heavy, rootsy guitar blasts. In contrast "Hurricane" and "Hard Sun" slowed the mood down and gave the charismatic, corkscrew-haired Gavin Clarke an opportunity to display his vocal range. They lost momentum by jamming through the doomy harmonica-driven jazz of "Fallen Flower", but overall their performance did much to enhance their growing word-of-mouth reputation.
