A-D-U-L-T-E-R-Y

Newcastle's literate popsters Little Comets continued their first ever headline UK tour as they took on the Norwich Arts Centre on wednesday. The four-piece have been rather quiet since their hype-conquering debut single "One Night in October" dropped in February, but worry not, for all is well in the LC camp. The boys have been hard at work recording their debut album which is set to arrive on October 9th.

Despite signing to industry daddies Columbia, Little Comets have maintained a sense of autonomy working on their record. The uni graduates were allowed to continue their unusual recording processes - recording in public places/recording the sounds of kitchen appliances(?) - and have even done their own thing with the artwork.

But for their first headline tour and the tour that will mark the precursor to their album release, you'd be forgiven for expecting a little more from Little Comets. A little rough around the edges to start, the newcastle boys did eventually hit their stride with "Friday Don't need it" and "One Night in October"back-to-back, but before you even knew it, the show was all over. Just under 30 minutes and not even an encore. I'm just hoping there's enough quality to fill an album, because there wasn't enough evidence to suggest it live.
