Karate Party - Live
[Melbourne Pony]

There are a lot of young bands like Karate Party; some nice songs, with a few interesting riffs and melodies lurking within them. But the two-piece line-up of keyboards and drums lacks the drive needed to get them across.

Jo and Cat’s intersong banter is also irritatingly fey, causing a few cringes. However, as the set nears it’s conclusion, the girls seem to be getting it together and the songs are having more impact. Perhaps a few more live shows and rehearsals are needed...
