The Inspector Cluzo
London The Roundhouse
Mont de Marsan agriculturalists hit pay dirt.
One imagines the majority of tonight’s audience are largely unfamiliar with the works of The Inspector Cluzo, a pair of fiercely independent Gascony farmers now on their ninth album. Yet while punters are here to witness headliners Eels, they’re certainly not above affording an ovation to the unlikely, some might say odd, couple at centre stage. Taking advantage of the expectation-free, relative anonymity of playing to someone else’s fans, the Cluzo pack their set with choice selections from their latesta virtual agro-ecological manifesto set to an engaging, hook-heavy combination of classic rock swagger and bass player-free funk.
