Displacements Last FM Influences: The Smiths, Stone Roses, Wreckless Eric, Hitchcock, Springsteen, The Housemartins, Twinkle, Django Reinhardt, James Dean, Down and Out in Paris and London, Ronnie O Sullivan, The Ronettes, Any Trouble, The Clash, Ian Dury and the Blockheads, Stiff Records, Jellyfish, Jesus and Mary Chain (I've played their guitars!), True Romance, Buzzcocks, Peter Sellers, Oscar Wilde, The Guv'nor, The Beatles, The Stooges, My Bloody Valentine, Number 85 Bus, Brighton Beach, The Stones, The Shins, The Specials, Kyu Sakamoto, The Coral They soon get the crowd moving with their anthem like tunes. They change pace within songs to great effect, making them more personal and involving the audience, clearly echoing the lyrics with the speed and tenacity of the song. Full of surprises they are keen to convey all emotions with their music, touching lightly on each and not getting caught in the inevitable traps of scorned love or desperation. the foot tapping barnstorming boogie of the tight as a gnat’s arse spiked groove of the Displacements ’Lady Loss’ is a video short of being heavy rotation on MTV. The Displacements seized this moment like they were top of the bill at Reading. This was an authoritive,exciting headline act in its own right,ready to take on the World. Virtually mobbed at the merchandise tent..selling 70 CDs by the time I’d left..I’ll say it again - one day people will boast of seeing them in this magical early era.
