A first time trip to Nottingham to see the majestic Wild Flag is marred by the ridiculous stage times. We arrive at 20:45 and the band are already four songs in; when did a headline act ever take to the stage at 20:35 I ask you? Regaining my composure I revel in the onslaught of four women at the top of their game, Glass Tambourine's extended jam blows minds and Racehorse shakes booty. Carrie Brownstein continues to be *the* rock star of the last twenty years, and Mary Timony's growing assurance in the band is compelling. But the real star tonight is Janet Weiss whose thunderous drums testify to the awesome power of her biceps; don't let any haters tell you women can't drum. Finishing with Television and Ramones covers, Wild Flag give us the dance party of the year.
