Big Red Dragon
Little Green Cars
WE SAY
Among the standout acts at The Great Escape last week were Little Green Cars, whose polished performances to packed houses at the Island Life and Vevo stages saw the band really building a head of steam. Big Red Dragon, the third single from debut album Absolute Zero (which debuted at No. 1 in their native Ireland last week, keeping Vampire Weekend off the top spot) really seems to be connecting. Video views have passed 250k in just three weeks - the same level as previous single Harper Lee managed in three months - and early radio and TV pickup have been broad, from Phil & Alice and Sara Cox at Radio 1 to Xfm, 6Music, Absolute and MTV Rocks. Press and online support likewise remain strong, with features in the Sunday Times, Artrocker and the Evening Standard to name a few. Little Green Cars feel like a band on the cusp.
