Apparently everyone respects my C++ skills, but I’m so bored with it. I wanna be a rock-star. If I don’t get to see a live band often, I get miserable, especially in the winter. This week I saw three cracking acts.
On Thursday 7th March Mango In Euphoria played at the Dublin Castle, Camden. The first song is a little unsure, but I’m not sure if that’s her or us, the audience. By the time she gets to Can’t Be Cured, we’re loving it. I want to dance but I want to get another song of hers. I didn’t know what the third song is but the audience are now eating out her hand. Every is clapping along as instructed (except me, filming).
Friday 8th March I went the awesome Night Owl in Finsbury Park. The headliners JE T’AIME were bill as “Parisian post-punk cold wave hybrid”. For an all-male band they had some great tunes and sensitivity. I captured two of their songsThey were supported by PALINDRONES – “Electronic duo mixing pounding beats and blistering synth drones”. They got me dancing (when I wasn’t filming).
I had to go out and missed Agathe Max on Radio 3’s Late Junction. That programme is on the BBC Sounds app for 28 day only. I have seen Agathe Max perform before.
I keep saying I’ll perform on guitar soon. I’m going to gigs recently just watching the guitar player for all I can steal, er, I mean take and learn from. More shows next week.
