DIVA MAGAZINE
Invocal are a leftfield, oestrogen laden acoustic quartet from Northampton. They sing songs about modern life with caustic humour, eccentric meloncholy and (most days) expert musical prowess.
The term 'comedy' is sometimes a little misleading, as often they can be very heartfelt and sultry and emotional and artistic and moody, and above of all, very sexy indeed.

REVIEW: INVOCAL ALBUM LAUNCH Category: Music
The atmosphere in the packed out venue was absolutely electric. Invocal fans from all over the country, delighted to be there ( the gig had sold out sometime ago), anticipating an experience that would be guaranteed to thrill; we are talking about Invocal afterall! The audience already had been treated to the sight of the new Invocal costumes - still the band colours of pink and black....but in new, flamboyant period costumes. An 18th century dame - complete with tall white wig, a red haired highwayman, a cheeky (pregnant) flapper girl, and finally a burlesque escapee from the Moulin Rouge.
The evening had been kicked off with Rozism in support. A good choice, eccentric and kooky and incredibly talented, one girl on stage with a guitar and a laptop.
And finally the main event, Invocal. You could have heard a pin drop as the girls started with quiet vocal harmony which then launched the rest of the evening. A theatrical performance, at once darkly macabre, caustic and wryly humorous. A performance so intense, so honest (painful when you relate it to your own life and mishaps), so deeply complex but ridiculously hooky that not only is it emblazoned in my memory, part of me is still there in that packed out venue ( sounds Lovey but it's true). As is usual, the intensity of the performance was broken up between the songs with good natured and humorous banter.
I have seen Invocal on a number of occasions and consider them to be one of the most genuinely unique, and intensely entertaining acts in the UK today. This gig has confirmed first place. The new Album, "I Can't Say No to the Slugs" is jaw droppingly powerful.
It was wonderful being a part of the audience. We were all electric with excitement, drinking in the new material we had all waited for so long. A coup
