This page is a running tally of all the concerts I've been to - half to inform you as to who's great, mediocre, or shitty live, and half to remind me where I've been (you know how the mind starts to go...). So enjoy!
We didn't arrive until we were fashionably late (not on purpose, mind you - we got lost along the way). Missed most of the DJs we wanted to see, but did catch most of Minotaur Shock, who had some of the best visuals this side of a rave. The music in the bar afterwards was great, but the tables really should've been cleared to actually give some dancing room!
Lemon Jelly last night was so much fun - they had big inflatable bananas and hammers and threw lil miss plastic jewelry sets to the girls, so there were silvery dangling clipon earrings and tiaras there, too. There were huge projections with the cityscape go slowly from day to night* for entry) were glowing. Just a really good night.
A secret gig directly after the Q Awards, and Gonzales and Mignon were fantastic in all their tracksuitted glory. So close he was sweating on me...
I'm so pleased I finally got to hear Take Me To Broadway in the flesh!
Electric Soft Parade & Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster
They actually played in reverse order at the Q Awards Launch Party, but since it was early evening, they gave ESP the bigger audience. I forgot how much I love ESP and I love EMBLD more and more with each listen...
The Chap were fun and quirky, J. Xaverre was god but would've been better with a full band, and Blank Space would've been perfect if they hadn't done the pretentious encore. Free mp3s at PlayLouder
