Walking into The White Rabbit it became immediately apparent that we were 2 of about 5 people who weren't either in one of the four bands playing or related to them in any way. The first band playing - who's name I didn't catch - had potential to be good if they could just progress beyond the same three chords and tune and The World Defined were let down by the venue's poor sound quality but as for the band themselves they are clearly fantastic and ooze stage presence. Then what I came for - it was Anavae's turn on stage and they certainly didn't disappoint. Opening with "Sunlight Through A Straw" and blasting their way through their 5 song set of "Zero Fidelity" "Storm Chaser" new song "I Won't Return" and "Invaesion" and of course an epic drum based outro the quintet proved to the small south-west minds that they sure as hell know how to play their instruments and Becca's vocals never seemed to falter, hitting high notes with as much ease as breathing. Before playing "Invaesion" Becca told the crowd - who had been keeping a respectable metres distance from the stage - that she's actually short sighted and can't see any of us and beckoned us to stand right in front of them. Although the set was short is was proof enough that i'm right in saying that this band is going to be huge. After them we had The Hype Theory who played a selection of songs from their new album "Captives" due out soon showcasing both their faster upbeat songs and slower tracks too.
