Gigs I have been to and not blogged about of late are
Jeffrey Lewis @ Clwb
Was dragged to this gig last minute by ash, promising I wouldn't be disappointed. Hadn't heard anything by him before (unlike EVERYONE else there.. where have I been?... listening to d'nb I rekon). Really good. Songs that were quiet, then loud and rockin with really good lyrics. Like it.
Seabear / Alex Dingley / Jam on Bread @ Clwb
Ash's gig. Wouldn't have come out if it wasn't cos I was in a well tamping mood. Couldn't shake it off. Until Alex Dingley came on. Ace band. Ace tunes. Watched Ash dance like a mental, which always cheers me up. Hung out with a load of my favorite people. Made new friends. Sorted me right out.
Seabear were exceptionally good too. Blew me away. Ace night!
Oh and Jam on Bread is worth a listen. Really twee lofi tunes played on a ukulele with amusing lyrics. I remember one song where he sang about expressing his love to his girlfriend in 80's pop song lyics. Good stuff
The Spirit Level / Lyndsey Leven @ Dempseys
I love Ellie. She is one of best people I know. Not only is one of my top mates, she is also uber talented, writing and singing the most beauitful songs with Rhodri under the name The Spirit Level. Really enjoy watching them play. Always makes me think 'what the fuck is someone so talented and clever doing hangin out with a reprobate like me?'.... Im grateful. Gives me cool points :)
Lynsey was also really good. Hadn't seen her play before. Glad I did. She has an ace voice too
Right thats me/you caught up. My blogging action has gone wayward as I lost the back of my N95 in Electric Picninc. A new one (if not the wrong colour one.. the shame) is now here. Normal service has resumed! Go me!
Just come back from seeing some bands in Chapter. To tired to write really. But i'll have a go....
No Thee No Ess were really good (starring Andy Fung off of Cymbiant). Sang a song about a hotel. It was the best song I have heard about a hotel since Hotel California and Hotel Yorba. I am going to start penning a song called 'Travel Lodge'. I'll get to work on that right after I finish this.
My lovely mate Ellie then played with her band Silver Spurs. As I have said before, I rate them. Check me loving bands with banjo's in them. The shame. You dare tell anyone I do and I'm coming for you. I have to maintain my street image y'kno. Banjo's are not how I roll.....
There was a bluegrass band on afterwards, but I legged it after their first song. Wasn't feeling the bluegrass tonight. Mind was elsewhere....
Here is Ellie, Eli and Gareth..... Silver Spurs to you :)
On the way home I went to Tesco.
This is what I shall mainly be consuming tomorrow:.
Here it is....
Saw Future of the Left play at Clwb tonight. They were fuckin 'pumpin' as beev would say :)
Really, really rate them. I stood on a chair and danced like a mental throughout. I have been trained up well at the school of Ash in this. I learnt from the master. I am glad I have reached the point in my life where I really don't care about what people that I don't know think. I know i'm cool. I'm having a better time than they are. That's all that matters!
They sang Manchasm. Here is Mark Foley being right whilst watching them sing about him being right. He is always right. Quite possibly one of the wisest men I know. And he looks like on of the wise men with his beard 'n all. If you ever have a problem with any kinda stuff, go see Mark. He'll will make sense of it.
A dance downstairs to a plethora of indie hits with ash then pints in Dempseys. Met a mental man who sung me a song about unicorns only being horses with nice hats. Good times.
Bed now. I like this post night out blogging. Its good to do before bed and less calories than horlicks.
Here is a photo I took of Errors in Clwb. They were ace. I rate them lots. So much so that I took lots of photos of them (286 to be exact).... as selection of these photos are on my Flickr page if your interested http://www.flickr.com/photos/lou_natik/
