The rain pounded down outside, keeping punters at home watching telly. But the couch spuds will be kicking themselves for missing out.

Make Model's epic approach draws on a verdant mindscape of indie/folk and electronic dance esoterica to create a set thats both boogietastic and intriguing. The Scots sparkled, dripping with alternately stomping and lovely tunes.

The catchy, low-slung, glam-pop single The LSB, wonderful Just Another Folk Song and The Was showcased the close harmonies of Aimi and the boys.

On first inspection Make Model looked like every hipster's wetdream; Sonic Youth t-shirts, a plethora of instruments (they had about 17 lap-tops for starters), assorted beards and an angelic-toned co-vocalist in the shape of Aimi Gold.

So far, so Broken Social Scene. And to be fair, it's hardly lazy journalism to compare their sonic offerings to the Canadians, for there's so much to savour and so much to grab on to. But make no mistake, Make Model are not copyists.

Wistful folk transformed into crashing waves of dissonance, and zesty, beat-pop merged seamlessly into ragged, raw college rock.

Sticking around for just half a dozen numbers, it was a triumphant mini-portion of excellence that left me more than happy and eager for more. And you can't ask for more than that.
