Cordelia Gartside, Ashaine White & Rottweiler at The Prince Albert, Brighton, 19th February 2025
A truly multifarious assortment of acts at The Prince Albert in Brighton on Thursday – something for everyone, or maybe in this case everything for everyone, as all three acts impressed and received a warm reception from the crowd.
First up, Rottweiler are making waves with their take on grunge mixed with splashes of punk and pop and a performance that lives up to their name. Energy by the truck-load and some lipstick smearing that Robert Smith would be proud of set a frenetic starting pace for the evening.
A change of mood as Ashaine White took to the stage with a collection of soulful rock love songs, and chats about beef mince and parking tickets. Sometimes simplicity is the key, and Ashaine’s stripped back set was captivating and engaging.
Last up, Cordelia Gartside’s self-described creep rock brought ethereal vocals and a collection of songs that felt at times vulnerable, before heavier crescendos kicked through. Accomplished and compelling, this was an excellent way to close the show and a night full of musical twists and turns.
