So, it would seem like I haven’t had 5 minutes to update my blog in what seems like ages… what with being busy with work, visiting friends & family, geeking, and generally being out, my time seems a bit sparse.
I went to a gig Friday with a couple of friends, to see Metronomy. I’d heard about them a a few weeks before, and fallen in love with their album… I must admit, the gigs I’ve been going to, before I went to them, I wouldn’t have said I would like, but how wrong I was.
When we arrived on Friday, it was a treat to find out that Micachu and The Cock’n'Bull Kid were supporting. I’d seen both of them previously. Both of them I really enjoyed, both previously and Friday. Micachu is a really cool act to watch, their ‘Electonics’ band member is amazing to watch, making sounds out of loads of geekery toys.
Then came Metronomy, the crowd went wild… it was such a good amosphere. For a quiet small venue, the crowd certainly made up for it, there was even crowd surfing. They came on, to a dark stage, and when each member did their part of the intro, they switched on a light on their t-shirt. All a bit tacky maybe, but still very cool. Their act was flawless.
Can’t really put into words how good it all was. I’d totally recommend all 3, even if it’s not the genre you’d normally listen to.

I also had to sign up to myspace again, as they wouldn’t let me reopen my account from a few years back. I only plan to use it for tracking bands, but if you’re on there, feel free to add me [link]
