Firstly, Sydney quintet Sherlock’s Daughter manage to gain spirited and vocal applause despite audience members still trickling in at this stage of the night. Although no carbon copy of the headliners, they are a perfect support act for this evening, as they create a dreamy pop soundscape crammed with electronica, intuitive drumming, echo-drenched guitars and fine vocals from front woman Tanya (at times boosted further when blended with some imaginative group harmonies). Song For Old People proves a true set highlight, as the band intrigue their audience with a sound that veers effortlessly from Ride to Neu! and beyond.Their performance really took me by surprises. They were good.
Their music is good.

Tonight, the haunting effect of the sisters’ vocals is particularly magnificent in the echoed harmonies of Wired For Light, but the group’s crowning dream pop moment remains the heavenly single Half Asleep, delivered here with all its seductive sonic flow intact. However, the luxurious Connjur proves a close runner-up. The group’s presence is low-key but quietly intriguing, as Benjamin and Alejandra trade heady Kevin Shields-via-Robin Guthrie guitar licks, while Claudia is a serene, cool presence behind the synth. Much of the music is programmed, leaving the guitars and vocals to provide the human element. (from Rave Mag)I guess I didn't enjoy that much after realising that they used programmed machine drums. Though the twins did sing very well together and Benjamin's guitar was terrific, I still feel they could be better. I was standing right in the middle, there's no way I could take a photo of them all together.
