Tender Trap - 100 Club, London, 15/12/2010

Despite front woman Amelia Fletcher battling flu, Anthony Strutt sees Tender Trap play an infectious and summery set of indie pop at the 100 Club in London

Article

Amelia Fletcher emailed me to say, “Don't expect a great Tender Trap gig as I have the flu” But she lied to me. Tender Trap were on great form. They have been playing in a new line up since I last saw them. In addition to the two founding members of Amelia and Rob Pursey, we also have Emily Bennett, who is also in Betty and the Werewolves, on guitar and Katrina Dixon from Police Cat on drums. Anyone who says this is twee can get lost. It is infectious indie pop which would put a smile on anyone’s face. Even if you have got the flu, you would forget about it for the half an hour duration of their set, which is full of summer joyfulness. They even do a new song. Perfect!
