Themselves @ Electric Circus, 24 Jul

In the face of adversity – a venue bustling with hen parties, an atrocious sound system and delayed, lackadaisical support – it’s beautiful beyond measure to have Themselves back.

Last time they played Scotland, a power cut forced an impromptu spoken word set, and nothing brings out the consummate showman in Doseone better than when he raps like the proverbial motherfucker, acting out every word and image – even spitting a blow-by-blow commentary as The Running Man plays out on the screens behind him.

Jel is no background performer either: tapping out every beat and sample live in a frenzy of motion that would make most showcase drummers’ jaws drop. Maybe it’s that special “last show of the tour” energy, but when the soundman interrupts over the PA to call time and Themselves morph their two best songs into extended vicious freestyle jams, it’s clear this is a live act that can rival any great, regardless of location or genre.
