Django Django, so-called after one of Django Reinhardt’s teachers, who had a terrible stutter and always struggled with the Belgian jazz guitar legend’s name when he called the register (or possibly not). The four-piece, who met at art school in Edinburgh and now live in fashionable east London, don’t sound very Belgian or jazzy, and the guitars keep a low profile, too. The emphasis is on cadence, although they’re not heavy on the electronics, either – punk-funk or electro-dance this is not. In fact, it’s quite tricky to explain quite what it is that Django Django do, which is good, because it suggests they’re doing something a little bit different.
