Allo Darlin'

Event information

A small number of tickets will be available on the door.

Indie-pop band Allo Darlin's debut album was released on Fortuna Pop in June 2010 to widespread critical acclaim. Allo Darlin' are "terrific, witty and heartfelt, like a less moody Belle & Sebastian." (The New York Times).

"The fact that the debut album from Elizabeth Morris's Allo Darlin' has received near-universal critical acclaim is not surprising. Although it kind of is. Not because the quality to and ability to write an array of singable and hummable pop songs came from nowhere but more because it's easy to get used to seeing very good bands going very unappreciated. Anyway, they're second on in the triumvirate of acts on Friday. A smile is never far from Morris's mouth and nor is a killer melody. 'Polaroid' and particularly 'Dreaming' turn my mood from early festival optimism to something near universal love for humanity backed by a very lovely setting sun. This says enough!" Drowned in Sound

"From the very first track it’s clear they’ve got that ephemeral something that separates the pretty good from the truly magical." The Fly

"This is twee pop par excellence. Oh, don't be put off by the use of the word 'twee' in these circumstances either. I too despise it with a vengeance, but sometimes it's easier just to bow gracefully and acquiesce with the crowd. I didn't even know this band existed 15 minutes ago, now I have a crush on them like every other former owner of a Pastels badge." Everett True
