Welcome to the wonderful world of a Pop sensation known only to their friends as 'The Portugals' or described only recently by London's critics as a destructive wall of pleasant noise from Tottenham. The virginal three piece take a deep plunge into the world of music when it comes to influences, some so bizarre it scares me even to think of them. But to make life simple let's say, The Pogues meet Flaming Lips on a cold night in August watched heavily by The Who? This of course comes from the live and energetic approach taken by the nearly men. They're loud, intense and look as if they would kill you, but also take a subtle and warm twist. All of this with heavy breathing and moist palms. The Portugal's have found the city to be very influential and have adapted their music to compensate. So let's just say, that if you like your music full bore with a cupful of passion and a slight hint of melody, then visit Portugal for a bargain basement, overnight stay - make your reservation now.
