I first heard Wild Beasts thanks to a lovely lass who made me a mix cd last summer. The track in question was Devils Crayon (see vid below), what a tune.

You can see a full review of the gig and set list on the Hercules Moments blog HERE!

But before getting into the show I really need to jump back to the start.

The fact I've been writing about art, in Aberdeen for 10 years is hopefully a beacon of light to anyone who might believe the above statement to be true. Back in 2007 I was busy doing stencils and paste ups, many in tribute to an ol...
