Jet lag wasn‰’t an issue for Givers. The sunny indie-pop quintet made the journey from Lafayette, La. to London last week, playing Shoreditch hotspot XOYO with all the energy of kids just let out on the last day of school.

The night opened with the underwhelming coed duo The Shivers, whose male singer/guitarist was more into himself than deserved and the female keyboardist and back-up vocalist wasn‰’t featured nearly enough. Zulu Winter bridged the gap between the rhyming bands as the second support act. The local group started their set with songs that sounded like the lovechild of The xx and Phoenix, but the set shifted to the less funky and into more alternative, generic rockier tracks. Perhaps they should‰’ve played their setlist backwards.

Then, with more enthusiasm than both support acts combined, Givers took the stage, signifying the start of the dancing portion of the night. Playing all of their debut album In Light, leads Taylor Guarisco and the badass-as-ever Tiffany Lamson strummed, drummed and sang though the set and shared al their boisterous, energy with the crowd so everyone in the club was in on the fun.

Highlights include “Atlantic,‰” Jack-of-all-trades Tiffany‰’s solo effort, “Go Out All Night,‰” the one subdued, sad track from the bright Louisiana band and the super upbeat “Up Up Up‰” encore, the obvious choice for the final song. (But really, why wouldn‰’t they close with their only single?)

Attending the gig was like being transported back to bright and sunny summer, a difficult feat considering the industrial decor of the venue often and the cold, misty London weather as the season transitions from autumn to winter. It‰’s been about a year since I first saw them open for Ra Ra Riot at the 9:30 club last November (they headlined at the Black Cat in October), and their growth is obvious, but their energy, which is so key to their carefree charm, has the same freshness as that bright-eyed opening act with only a five-song, self-made EP to their name, and that‰’s likely to never dim.
