Simply put Basement Jaxx put on an amazing show at the O2 on the 17th December. Their stage performance was top draw. They hit the ground running with an operatic opening number, moving right through all the songs you'll know and love, changing pace from time to time with dancing robots and a short DJ techno/drum set.
Numerous costume changes only served to enhance the stage show aspect of their performance, giving the feeling of a big budget production.
I have a sneaky suspicion they purposely made Speech Debelle sound mediocre at best to enhance their own sound, as to be honest I could have passed on the opening act, with her squeaky voice and forgettable lyrics. I’ve still given Basement Jaxx maximum stars however as their performance easily out weighed any damage Speech was responsible for.
