Vancouver rock act Japandroids sold out show at The Ed Castle was a blistering, sweaty triumph. Adelaide audiences warmed to Vancouver's Japandroids. HAVING blown away audiences at this year's's Laneway Festival, Vancouver's Japandroids didn't wait long to do it all over again in Adelaide. The two piece's urgent, Americana tinged, punk rock was in blistering form at the small club venue of The Ed Castle last night. Before the show even started frontman Brian King smoked a cigarette in beer garden among fans with almost the same urgency he would later bring to the stage. With his sleaves rolled up in trademark fashion - he and drummer David Prowse quickly got to work. It was heartpounding from the very first strum of King's rich guitar sound, which whipped the tightly packed room into a frenzy. I, like many others saw very little of the two piece onstage with the bizarre shape of the room hiding Prowse behind a wall and pretty much a tall crowd having me stand on the tips of my toes to catch a glimpse of King thrashing around onstage. Ripping into tracks off Celebration Rock, the band's latest, and first album Post Nothing, King insisted on keeping things moving quickly. The setlist offered little respite which matched the energy he sweated out - throwing himself around the tiny stage to killer tracks like Evil Sway, Fire's Highway, The Nights of Wine and Roses and Younger Us. There was even a ripping cover of Mclusky's To Hell With Good Intentions that threatened to blow the roof of The Ed Castle as did the band's breakthrough track The House that Heaven Built. The band made good on the promise of their return at Laneway and even managed to top the efforts that led many to The Ed Castle last night. It certainly won't be the last time we see the two piece down under with shows like last night's and you can't help but think the two piece are only getting started.
