Joe Scaramanga - O2 Wireless Festival - 16/06/07

Scaramanga the man or Scaramanga the legend? That's the question on everyone's lips as the festival draws to a close. You could cut the atmosphere with a knife in Hyde Park, and after daft Punk have done their silly robot thing, on comes Scaramanga.

The light show kicks off, nearly blinding the audience and causing Prodigy 69 to complain bitterly - but for those who still have retinas remaining, the shap of a lone JS taking the stage cause a frenzy of excitement.

Opening with 'You'll Never Need A Merkin If You Don't Shave First' the overdriven ukelele of Scaramanga lifts the clouds from the skies and lets the moon beam down on his congregation. As one hit begets another, it's not long before the entire crowd is singing along, lighters in the air.

An ill-judged comment about Hitler aside, this is a spectacular night that will live long in the memory, and closer 'Shmerg Shmerg Shmerg Song' leaves the crowd eager for more. Top Drawer work.

4.5/5

# Needs more
Melody Maker-style dry irony that's terribly witty, utterly cynical, and completely egotistical.

# Or possibly some Mr. Agreeable style rant?
He was always the best bit.
