The Hu: Jaya takes Cardiff on an amazing journey
JANSON BULPIN
GIVEN THE EXTREME niche that the headliners inhabit, it’s challenging to think of a band capable of acting as suitable support – aproblem highlighted by the diverse range of musical subcultures on display in tonight’s sold-out crowd. As such it’s not KING NUN’s fault that their noisy garage rock seems totally misplaced and garners little more than polite applause. Not that this fazes the south-west London gang one jot, with frontman Theo Polyzoides in particular exuding supreme confidence and an aloof air that’s more admirable than annoying. As soon as they’re finished, the pleasantries give way to the “Hu!” war chant that continues unprompted throughout the rest of the evening.
