Malkmus makes an appearance, stage left and mere feet away from me, as support band Glass Rock take the stage. For a brief moment, I realise that a quick cosh on the head with my camera could scupper the Pavement reunion and the dreams of a thousand indie fanboys. Thankfully, Glass Rock - a collaboration between Tall Firs and Soft Location - are damn near hypnotizing, mainly thanks to the languid voice of Kathy Leisen. A ringer for a young Patti Smith, Leisen's honeyed slacker vocal recalls a nicotine drenched Tanya Donnelly and dispels all thoughts of Malkmus-murder.

Opening the night are Glass Rock, an amalgamation of dreamy folk-rock band Tall Firs and Detroit act Soft Location. Their music flows from arpeggiated folk leanings, all intertwining guitar lines and dream-pop vocals, to catchy alt. riffs with ease, as ‘Firs drummer Ryan Sawyer switches effortlessly between free-flowing improvisation and rhythmic pounding, and the band follow suit. Soft Location vocalist Kathy Leisen lends her delicate voice to the tracks as she nonchalantly strums her acoustic guitar, although Tall Fir’s Aaron Mullan and David Miles take the vocal reigns on a handful of songs.
