S2H and I wandered along last Thurs. The blonde and I had had some cocktails in the office, then headed to the music quiz (our trad Thurs endeavour) where beer occurred, s2h turned up, quiz finished. Headed to gig, found mohitos. Info after that vague...
Martin Phillips (ex ?current? The Chills) was support. Just him and his guitar. It was good, not great, and as s2h mentioned, a bit sad he's still playing songs that were average 15 years ago. Sure Pink Frost is brillant, and worked reasonably well acoustic. But eh. I can't complain, Kayleigh?
The New Pornographers are great live. Great on album too. Indie-pop? I guess that's a label. Anyhoo brillant gig, lovely harmonies, great rhythm section. Infectious vibe, good audience. Definitely recommend them as a live act. Personally, of the three bands I've seen in the last fortnight, Yeasayer and WGC were better, but still New Pornographers are a great live.
Very quirky, fun lyrics.
Ok, so not much of a review, but eh I loved the gig and am really glad S2H made me go. My cunning plan to make him go, worked out well for both of us - since it made me go too.
What I wouldn't recommend: starting work at 630 the next morning. Or rather later that morning. I got home and into bed around 1. Thankfully my staff are now used to beer/whisky tastings/quiz nights/general debauchery from their beloved TL and can recognise the signs to be quiet and deal with problems themselves. Go empowerment. I am a brillant leader.
