Since its first gig last year, when it landed indie sensations Squid and gained national press attention at the same time, The Cornish Bank continues to attract big name indie groups.

Thursday night was no exception when cult favourites Snapped Ankles absolutely slayed when they played before an ecstatic sell out crowd.

While they have been known to indulge in dressing as trees with synthesisers and microphones stands combined with logs to create a Pagan vibe, tonight they restrict themselves to just the headdresses, which was a wise move considering the heat they generated.

Within the first few minutes of getting up on stage, frontman Austin was back into the audience creating his own version of the Pied Piper of Hamlyn using his eccentrically decorated microphone stand combined with a wooden percussion block as a totem. He would later prowl the upper mezzanine with his cable free guitar.

Their heady blend of psychedelic, post-punk Krautrock with an element of rave, creates a concoction that really works.

The crowd were just as much part of the show keeping up the energy all evening.

The drummer was particularly fantastic. How he kept that 'motorik' rhythm going the whole gig I'll never know.

After about an hour and half they mysteriously disappeared as quickly as they'd arrived, no encore but then you can't improve on perfection.

In the space of just a few months The Cornish Bank has become one of the best live music venues in Falmouth, perhaps even in Cornwall.

With more big names coming up and one even bigger name yet to be announced as well as the inaugural WanderFal festival, the Cornish Bank has the chance to put Falmouth on the musical map.
