The Temper Trap announce UK tour – are they plain wonderful, or just plain?
Australian act The Temper Trap have announced a UK tour to mark their newfound prominence. Details of the London stop are below – expect tickets to shift really quickly.
As NME reports, rhe band were due to play at The Relentless Garage, but the gig will now take place at Heaven, which has a bigger capacity to suit the suddenly bulging fanbase. Tickets for the original venue will still be valid for the Heaven gig, and a batch of new tickets have also gone on sale.
I really like Sweet Disposition, even though it positively screams BBC soundtrack and Virgin Radio drivetime fodder. This is indisputably a good song, with beautiful high-pitched notes and an attractively-epic sound. I’m not nearly so wowed by the rest of The Temper Trap’s current catalogue though; at Field Day it all sounded obvious and plain, if spritely and perfectly pleasant.
But please feel free to disagree, and to tell me I have TTT all wrong…
Live date:
Wed 23 September – Heaven, Charing Cross (tickets here)

Wow, this band really has hit the big time – the show at Heaven has sold out, as of this morning. Looks like not too many people share my ‘plain’ analysis! Richard
Everyone should listen to ‘The Science of Fear’ by The Temper Trap.
