What's with the weird subject line you ask? Why it's the best written representation I can give for what's running through my head at the moment, the opening bars of We Are Scientists' 'Great Escape'. The song I have just seen them finish a concert with.
How were they? Awesome. (Well, they could be doing with hiring a new sound engineer, but we'll just let that slide for now......) Crackin' guitars, mental drumming, great vocals and reasonably amusing banter....... ;o)
They sealed it with their choice of cover song, 'Be My Baby'. Totally out of leftfield and fantastic :o)
By the end, my friend Erika and I were both completely buzzing. As we walked away from the venue we argued about who was getting to keep the lead singer, Keith, when we *ahem* acquire him. I'm glad to say that I won out (mostly because Erika didn't think her boyfriend Dave would be too happy.....) but had to make a promise to lend him out for the occasional weekend.
Gotta go now, I've been brought back down to earth by my little brother arriving home from his birthday celebration. He's so pissed he's finding it hard to form words. I think I'm on drunk-boy watch for the next wee while......
