Always an odd concept. Most people aren't there to watch them; they're always very much hit and miss. Remember when Liars and The Blood Brothers played Fuzz? That won't be happening again.
Speaking of Fuzz, last thursday i saw Airtraffic and Snowfight In The City Centre.
Snowfight sound like Savage Garden meets The Editors. Considering how much i dislike them, I've seen them far too many times. They played the song that sounds like "Running Up That Hill" by Kate Bush. They've obviously been listening to this hot new band called Explosions In The Sky - they finish with Savage Garden gone polite post-rock.
Airtraffic somehow managed to be worse than Snowfight. Piano led indie is always a treat. A complete lack of stage presence meant that I didn't notice they'd left the stage until the dj started playing something. The highlight of the set was when they played a new song; both James, myself and the two guys standing behind us all pointed out it was exactly the same as "One Way Or Another" by Blondie at exactly the same time. I guess you had to be there.
Some days before that was Razor Stiletto. It had a Russian theme so the obvious act to get to play was a aldy on an accordian and another lady, dressed as a Russian peasent, doing some interpretive dance. But you couldn't hear the accordian. The other two bands were The Kreeps and Salon Boris. Surf punk and electro. Good fun.
BYE!
