The 66 - Firefly - Versus Cancer Xmas Party - Moho Live Dec 18th

Review from Manchestermusic.co.uk

The opening slot goes to Warrington's The 66, but they play it like they're headlining. Take a singer from the Ian Brown school of stage presence with fire in his eyes and a skintight paisley shirt, a big pile of young hungry energy, some golden-age Stones via Primal Scream grit, driving rhythms, light the touchpaper and watch them go. Somehow they manage to take a load of the most well-worn influences and make something truly exciting out of them. Tight as anything - you have to be, doing this sort of thing, and they've got the confidence and the natural instinct for how a song should feel as well as sound, with songs running to five or six minutes without ever losing the plot. Meanwhile subtle keyboards add layers of depth. The final "Firefly" is a great colossus of simmering laddish groove-fuelled rock'n'roll that leaves you wanting more.
