Kap Bambino are an electronic French duo who've been releasing and touring independently since 2002 up until recently when they signed with Because records, sharing a roster with the likes of Klaxons, Late Of The Pier and Justice. Its with this collaboration that the pair have released new album Blacklist which is seeing them finally making the waves they are capable of. Tonight's UK album launch a Cargo is only proof of this.   The venue's main room is nearly at capacity and there's a decent group down the front getting their dance on and already singing along to some of the tracks.  Front woman Caroline Martial's raw and reckless energy is infectious and its difficult to resist the urge to throw your body any which way in the crowd to the music.

The pair is what one could imagine if Crystal Castle's went Euro pop. It's catchier, yet more unpredictable and painfully good looking. It's an extremely well put together formula and Orion Bouvier's electronic beats mixed with hooks verging on metal just adds to the bands appeal and intrigue.    On the live side of things the Caroline is the indisputable star of the show. Bouncing off the sides of the stage and into the audience like an over hyped ball of electro fury she's a passionate and attention grabbing performer. She spends almost as much time performing from the depths of the audience as jumping around, head back, dangling the microphone into her mouth on stage.  Kap Bambino may have remained unfairly under the radar but on the evidene of this show they're going to be harder to ignore.
