I have sorely neglected you, my dearest blog, and for what? Well, I have actually been writing and doing [most] of my work. More authorial adventures of mine can be found here, here, here, here, and here.
This week, I have been to not one but TWO concerts.
On Tuesday, a friend got us free tickets from The Fly to see Pulled Apart by Horses. Support was played by Wet Nuns (who were sweet and hilarious) and Eagles - the singer of which was incredibly and hilarious wasted. The show was pretty fun, although my eardrums were shredded. The venue was London Borderline off Charing Cross Road by Tottenham Court Road station, which was pretty decent if not a little too dark- I could barely see, but that's not exactly unusual. Pulled Apart by Horses were a lot of fun, although not my usual thing (I'm an Indie Folk Alt Funk girl at heart). I enjoyed it, even that bit of it when I got spat at...
On Wednesday, we saw Elvis Jackson. They were awesome. Seriously awesome. They're a Slovenian band who play energetic ska punk. They were supported by We Used to Make Things (who we saw back in October at the TMR gig), and who were on fine form, and by Dropbear.
So Dropbear. Awful name, right? But amazing band. They should be checked out by all. Finally, Elvis Jackson came on and it all exploded. They were all over the place, and the atmosphere was electric. The drummer was the happiest drummer I have ever had the good fortune to come across. He was just so smiley! They all were! A definite must see- book tickets now :D
They played at The Purple Turtle in Camden, just round from Mornington Crescent Station. Again, fairly dark- but very comfortable and with interesting décor.
So, that's about all for now. I'll be seeing the Composite Production of Master and Margarita at the Barbican on Monday, so maybe I'll have some things to say about that when it happens.
Until then,
Happy Reading and Happier Blogging
Lots of Love
