The Wombats

The irony about The Wombats is that they are neither wombats, nor are they Australian.

Overview

The irony about The Wombats is that they are neither wombats, nor are they Australian. They've made two albums and sold plenty of records, and have an unexplained affinity with fat marsupials. Best give 'em a shot, yeah?

The Wombats have been steadily growing a neat fan base here and abroad for the last few years, and have finally secured themselves a very respectable spot at the Riverstage, which has played host to the Foo Fighters and Kasabian in recent times, as well as Lily Allen and mega babe Jessie J. Like most bands from Liverpool, they have the sort of jangly pop that can get you moving and singing lyrics like Let's dance to Joy Division and celebrate the irony! and forcing you to make unexplained Facebook statuses about how you are “moving to New York 'cause I've got problems with my sleep”.

Christmas has come early, and The Wombats are digging their claws into the Riverstage's epic hall of fame, so you should probably see them before they do a Kings of Leon and sell out the Entertainment Centre.
