Kink promised, and Kink delivered. Exeter’s most anticipated new night opened in style, as the Cavern, known for its intimate events, formed the perfect backdrop for a night that will become a permanent fixture in Exeposé Music’s timetable.
An eager excited crowd gathered, filling the dingy venue best known for its live music nights to create an inclusive, electric atmosphere. Openers and supporting act Dive In started proceedings brilliantly, warming the audience with their uplifting sounds and excellent lead track ‘Let Go’. The crowd and excitement swelled as highly rated three-piece Mausi took to the stage with their irresistible pop tunes. New track ‘My Friend Has A Swimming Pool’ went down a treat and the much played ‘Move’ encapsulated the group’s trademark catchy and memorable sound. Mausi’s tracks are the kind that seep into your head and stay as if there stuck on repeat. Calls from their singer to dance were met with cheery acceptance as infectious tracks swept over the Cavern.
The night’s denouement was hours of DJ-ing, including some excellent tunes and a variety not often found in Exeter’s clubbing scene. Tracks from Arcade Fire and Genesis, for example, had people moving and grooving until the early hours.
All in all, we’re impressed, very impressed. We now wait with baited breath for Kink’s next exciting installment as Wolf Alice come to Exeter, and based on this offering, there is a lot to look forward to.
