This time M and I visited new(ish) venue Cardiff Arts Institute for some Sunday evening entertainment. The CAI hosts quite a few free music evenings (as well as other events, curated by various promoters including the likes of Kruger ). This one was a mixture of local and non-local bands but none were indie-guitar types. First up were Fife duo Panda Su , who could I suppose be classified as 'singer-songwriter' but also kinda folk, lo fi...instruments included a glockenspiel, so far so interesting. They only played about 4 songs which is a shame as they were at the very least 'good' and worth a future look. Next up were the locals (complete with fan club - at least half the audience!) King Louis Collective . Their site states soul/ska/tropical which is pretty spot on, this lot of multi-instrumentalists would be right at home on Craig Charles' 6Music show ! A variety of tracks including a cover of Kings of Leon 'Use Somebody'. They seem to have fairly regular...
