Although the set heavily featured tracks from new album “Euphoric”, Calva Louise still played a few of their earlier hits, like “Getting Closer”, introduced by Jess Allanic as the first song they ever played together. Set highlights included the fiery, bouncy banger “(POP) urri” and the synth-driven oscillating groove of “Camino”. Although the band formed in London and occasionally sing verses in Spanish, their sound and visuals would fool you into thinking they were from outer space.

The visuals of a dystopian sci-fi digital landscape full of spider robots, lasers and flaming floating faces, amplified Calva Louise’s brilliantly unique sound part quirky alternative rock, part electronic cyber-punk madness and enhanced the show brilliantly.
I mean, there’s “DIY” and then there is “Calva Louise Level DIY”. This 45-minute CGI odyssey was also animated over lockdown entirely by singer Jess Allanic.

The back of the stage was lit by a wave of vertical strip lights and suspended above them, playing in time to the live music, were two glowing orbs screening the band’s epic animated sci-fi movie dedicated to the release of their recent second album “Euphoric”, in 2021. After seeing Instagram posts of bassist Alizon Taho sawing massive bits of metal whilst dodging the golden sparks flying out from his buzzsaw, I couldn’t wait to see what madness they were constructing for the gig.
Ingeniously, they built the entire thing themselves. They took to the stage with one of the coolest lighting backdrops I’ve seen.
Paired with singer Ben Ibbotson’s classic rock style vocals, Nova filled the room with a powerful alternative rock sound.ĭespite a lengthy changeover, Calva Louise’s appearance was clearly worth the wait. Guitarist Tom Whitehead’s playing had an intensity which reminded me of the heavier side of early Muse. Local rockers Nova, warmed up the Leadmill’s early bird attendees with an intense set of heavy progressive rock. Strange Bones and Calva Louise’s co-headline tour rolled into Sheffield treating The Leadmill to a kaleidoscopic feast of visual effects as high octane punk rock met electronic cyber punk insanity.
