IGLU & Hartly bounded onto the basement stage at iBar on Sunday night full of energy and promising a performance of blood, sweat and tears.

Their formula is a simple one – high octane synth, hardcore funk rock and some rap thrown in for good measure.

The five-piece from California certainly know how to let their hair down and were keen to make sure the audience followed suit.

Despite a lack of any real variety in their set, the simple yet addictive blend of head-banging tunes and feel-good attitude certainly appeals to their mainly teenage following.

Front man Jarvis Anderson had the easily excitable young crowd bouncing as he promised to make it hot and sweaty in the small and compact basement bar.

Formed whilst at university in Colorado in 2008, the funk rock fivesome are best known for their single In this City.

They left their fans waiting until the end before belting out an extended version of their biggest hit to the delight of a sweat-drenched and exhausted crowd.
