The Review - GROOVES with CHARLOTTE CHAMBERS
 

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.
