they were on with lauren laverne, im told they played some un-heard new stuff... along with Jimi from Doves according the the website...

Skip to 02:09 - there are five songs...

1) Fly Boy Blue/Lunette
2) Charge
3) Lippy Kids
4) Real Life (Angel)
5) New York Morning


Charge is unchanged from the arena tour... Real Life (Angel) is glorious on first listen...

It was so nice to hear them live. I really do like Charge. I wish I could see them in the UK, but at least I have two shows in May to look forward to.

There's something about charge I'm unsure about, but it sounds far better on the album sampler that's just been posted...

I was able to listen to this earlier and now that I'm attempting to record it, it refuses to work for me. If anyone has the capacity to record this and upload it, it would be greatly appreciated.

There used to be an app for getting iPlayer onto MP3 but it got pulled about 6 months ago...

Yeah, I came across that while struggling to figure out why it refused to play for me a second time. Shame that they pulled the plug six months too soon.

Maybes some geniuses will pop them onto YouTube, which makes our life easier...

Listening to Charge live on this link it just seemed to sound a bit empty. On the album sampler it sounds big and amazing, but I think it was the drums here that let it down (though I'm a drummer so naturally my ear was particularly pricked for them.)

Also, the first violin solo (if you will), with the short strikes, made me go, "Oh no..."
