Last night was a trip to the Brixton Academy for the XFM Winter Wonderland gig. The lineup included Razorlight, Temper Trap and Bombay Bicycle Club, plus a few unknowns. Big warning however....never go near a Big Pink album. THE WORST band I have heard in a very very long time. Unless of course you like so much bass you feel like your chest is caving in, combined with screaming tuneless singing, instruments which sound like they are being strangled and flashing strobe lights directly in the face. As James said, it was like psychological warfare! The only cheer was when they left the stage.
Temper Trap however were fabulous, what a voice! Go Aussie, makes me proud :) We liked them so much we got tickets today to their Shepherd's Bush gig in April (nothing like planning ahead). We also have cheap tickets to see Frank Turner in March. So all in all a good night and am loving the cheap tickets for live music here. At home only about 5 out of 10 artists that are in Australia come to Perth and you seem to pay a huge premium for the privilege. One more tick for London :)
Video of Temper Trap and Razorlight to come when I have the patience to wait for the upload!
