The Killers and Jake Bugg !

This is an extract from the Guardian's website about the concert of both The Killers and Jake Bugg, his performance are appreciated :)


"With his dark hair cut just so, and his anorak on indoors, up-and-coming singer-songwriter Jake Bugg recalls the young Liam Gallagher. But the hype surrounding this Nottingham teenager tilts towards the idea of Bugg as a young Noel. He writes chippy, catchy songs about masculine concerns, many of them drawn from the 60s. Two Fingers is a particularly persuasive cut from his forthcoming debut album. "I drink to remember, I smoke to forget" Bugg sings, before his bassist and drummer break into a jangly chorus that yearns for escape from the pleasures of the verses. Unsurprisingly, Noel has declared himself a fan. So Bugg is off on tour with Gallagher's High Flying Birds in Europe next month, and on to the States after that.
He is going to love America. Listening to him open for the Killers at the iTunes festival, he isn't the Noel G mini-me that his celebrity link-up suggests. Bugg is a much older soul. His voice may be reedy but it's powerful. Like the generation of Liverpool bands of 15 years ago – the Coral, the Zutons, and more recently, Miles Kane – Bugg is a young man with preternaturally antediluvian tastes. In the video for his single Lightning Bolt, released last May, he's in a record shop, leafing through the country vinyl. It ends his set tonight on a rattly high."
