There’s something wrong here tonight. It’s a little past 7.30 and Whelan’s is essentially a ghost town, the only component missing is the tumbleweed. It’s a little worrisome as to why such a poor crowd has turned up, a crowd that actually stays dishearteningly low on numbers throughout.

Times New Viking are a damned good-looking band but on a cold September night, within pissing distance of a freezing winter, even their indie-licious appearance cannot help fill a half-empty room.
