As the crowd gathered in anticipation of what was to come, beverages were consumed and cameras were at the ready. Word seems to be spreading of how amazing Melbourne duo Kitty Hart and Matthew Wright aka Young Heretics really are. As they setup their instruments, they look well-dressed and ready to go, along with the aid of a bass player and drummer; Young Heretics begin playing, their confidence and conviction highly evident throughout the night.They opened with two new songs, which had more of a rock feel than some of the duo’s usual warped pop songs. The crowd was instantly hooked in, enthralled by what they were witnessing. That’s what is great about Young Heretics; their music contains so many different elements and is so unique that it draws you in. Their sound was a lot larger and more filled-out compared to their debut album ‘We are the Lost Loves’. Yet among all the great sounds and the hypnotisingly-brilliant stage presence (on what was a relatively small stage) the stand out factor was the duo’s amazing ability to harmonise so beautifully, even with the wall of sound from other instruments.
Fans were treated to the emphatic Risk/Loss and the stunning We are the Lost Loves, as well as another new song which Kitty called The Lion King Song announcing this would also be on a future album. Probably the biggest highlight of the night the set closer Bones of a Rabbit, a song that just continues to build, with beautiful harmonies and vocals that soar high into the heavens, taking you on an incredible journey, capped off by the duo’s floor-tom and cymbal attack at the end which was also enthralling to watch.
It was a shame the set was relatively brief because Young Heretics are an incredible live act with a brilliant set of songs, and with a taste of what is to come on album number two, one can truly be excited about what lies ahead for Young Heretics.
