Orson lacking sparkle
REVIEW - Orson
100 Club By ANDY DANGERFIELD
HOLLYWOOD soft rock band Orson were milking the fact it was
Valentine’s night at the intimate 200-capacity 100 Club.
Bassist Jonny Bentjen had flowers “from his girl”
rested on his amp, while singer Jason Pebworth dedicated songs
“to the ladies” – despite sweat pouring down
his face.
Although sounding like something between The Killers and Duran
Duran, they were far from being as exciting as either of these
bands. Most of the set was like listening to a lacklustre version
of Maroon 5, although their cover of Hall and Oates’ classic
I Can’t Go For That was a highlight.
Best reception of the night was reserved for their catchy Top
of the Pops-featured single, No Tomorrow, which seemed a little
inappropriate for Valentine’s – it is about breaking
up after all.
Boys tried it on with the ladies, but they weren’t interested
– Orson was their only date for the evening.
They’re back at Scala on February 27.
