Glaswegians Shitdisco have an uncanny knack of tapping into the zeigeist. In the wake of the Libertines' guerilla gigs, they developed a reputation for wild impromptu parties, often belting out their art-punk-dance in warehouses and even club toilets. They subsequently slotted into the scene led by the Rapture and LCD Soundsystem. Now, after touring with the Klaxons, they have aligned themselves with New Rave and attract an audience of trendies, at least one of whom waves a glow stick. The band underline their rave credentials by playing the Prodigy before they go onstage and bombard the audience with lasers. They could not do much more to hijack a bandwagon short of throwing themselves in front of it and kidnapping the conductor.

Shitdisco are, in fact, closer, musically, to rave than the Klaxons. They have goofy one note synth intros and rhyme "ecstasy" with "me". They work up a sweat and induce a form of mania among sections of their audience.

The band's feverish rhythms are hard to fault, although their insistence on shouting insubstantial repetitive melodies leaves them sounding like market traders. The Klaxons cover old school duo Kicks Like a Mule, while Shitdisco remodel No Good (Start the Dance) by "our friends" the Prodigy. Their own I Know Kung Fu is much more successful, something like the Rapture being possessed by the Clash. But you wonder if they will be left nursing a hangover when the rave bus leaves town.
