So it was great to see them perform an "extended" set in front of their own fans. By extended, I mean 32 minutes plus an eight-minute encore.

But it is quality that counts, and the pulsating beat and pounding rhythms meant it was 40 minutes of pure, unadulterated joy.

A product of MySpace exposure, DIOYY? sound something like a cross between Prodigy and Daft Punk, belting out an energetic set of cracking sounds.

The dancefoor of this intimate venue shook non-stop as the capacity audience pogoed and gyrated to the Reading-based foursome, who played their first ever gig here last year.

They are touring to promote their debut album, You Have No Idea What You're Getting Yourself Into.

And perhaps it tells you something about the exciting direction in which rock is travelling when it came into the midweek charts at No 17 – higher than Michael Jackson and Bryan Adams's latest turgid offering.

From the opening synths and guitar riffs of Weird Science, through to Doomed Now, the excellent singles Let's Make Out and We Are Rockstars, there was a feeling abroad that this is the new, new-wave.

Even if they're not the future of rock and roll, DIOYY? are easily the most exciting live act I've seen since the brilliant Maxïmo Park burst on the scene.
