Monday, May 12, 2008Ladyfest at Camden Underworld
This was a heap of fun.
![]() The lively Betty and the Werewolves. ![]() Actionettes getting it on between band sets. ![]() The Priscillas giving it large. ![]() The sensational Peggy Sue and the Pirates. They were absolutely awesome - a bit like a younger, more chaotic Be Good Tanyas. Be sure to check 'em out if you can . I'm trying to get them to play Offline but they replied (nicely) with the the worst words a free gig promoter can hear: "Talk to our agent." That invariably translates into, "not a chance, chief!" Link Wednesday, January 23, 2008Morrissey at the Roundhouse![]() We loved this show. Great, great venue. Opening song: "How soon is now". "First Of The Gang To Die" rocked. "Stretch out and wait" was beautiful. ![]() We got very, very, very drunk. It was a fantastic night out. The Roundhouse feels like a proper rock'n'roll venue inside with lots of bars keeping you topped up with £3.50 Kronenbourgs in pint (plastic) glasses. The main area is all standing so there's none of that 'sitting down' nonsense. ![]() Lovely to see the back of the stage covered with three giant pictures of a Welshman too (in case you can't see who it is through the murky fuzz of my extreme lo-res Treo cameraphone pictures, it was Richard Burton, clutching a drink). Morrissey finished with "Irish Blood, English Heart" and "Last Of The Famous International Playboys." ![]() On Saturday night I went to an old school, no-nonsense dutty squat party, held in honour of the much-liked urban75 poster Ringolevio who passed away recently. It was as full on and in-yer-face as you like! I took this picture of a little golden star that someone had stuck on to some plastic flowers hanging in a basket at Highbury and Islington station and thought of Ringolevio. |
