We saw Tom Vek live in Manchester, as a supporting act to Moby. 2 years before, as Lamb was more convincing as Moby's support (different genre though). In particular, it was REALLY irritating to see the whole band absolutely stoned - have a look at whom they support and realise that stoned NOT = creative artist!
However, the drummer was just fantastic, what a performance! We had to lean over to get a view of him whilst Tom Vek himself was dully claiming the centre of stage ... to be fair, it should be said that the last two songs (particularly the very last one) together with the drummer made a semi-enjoyable performance.

"grandiose", adj: pretentiously grand or stately.

Not to be confused with "grandeur" or, indeed, "grand".
