Urghgh. My head hurts, and my ears are ringing. I think it was something like 2 guinesses and 7 rum and cokes... Problem with going to gigs by yourself is that you use drinking as a replacement for talking!
Two of the bands were local! The Joy Formidable (from North Wales) are:
(wait till it kicks in!), and she was lovely. And the headline band was The Future Of The Left, who are quite big and originally from Cardiff. They gave us apples and climbed the ceiling!Also, Pulled Apart By Horses were the main support act, and were amazing solely for the main guitarist/screamer moving the mic into the middle of the audience and playing the gig from there! And the band that finished the evening from 11pm-12 were a three piece from the US, The Psychic Paramount, who played the weirdest music i've ever heard... kind of sounded like the most horrible screeching sound you have ever heard in your life (somehow tortured out of a guitar), crossed with hypnotic driving drum and bass, and played at a volume which made your ears bleed. I didn't know whether to dance or laugh, so I did both!
EDIT:
- Turn it right up! From 2:45 in especially is genius!
