Gig review: Dea Matrona at The Wardrobe, Leeds

What a lovely surprise! Having only heard a few tracks by young Irish band Dea Matrona before their gig at the Wardrobe on Saturday night, I had no idea what to expect live. However, the band, whose name translates as ‘Divine Mother Goddess’ certainly lived up to the Divine part, transfixing the audience with their Fleetwood Mac, T.Rex-y vibes with hints of The Runaways thrown in.

Mollie and Orlaith swapped guitar and bass throughout the night, a throwback to their teenage busking days when the bass was too heavy for them and did so to fine effect on So Damn Dangerous and then delighted everyone with a loud and heavy version of Fleetwood Mac’s Oh Well. Black Rain was slower and led into a request for “lighters, phones and vapes” to be held up for Glory Glory , played just by Orlaith and Mollie on acoustic and electric guitar.
