Saw The Spitfires in Brighton Saturday night (or was it Friday?). Derivative but theyâd grown on me by the end. Did a Housemartins cover and reminded me of the Redskins. I might buy the new album⌠maybe.
Most shocking thing was amount of tragic posturing by the 50 year olds in the crowd. All a bit England fan abroad. Poor.
Went to see Lucky Peterson and his band at the Discovery Centre in Winchester a few weeks ago. Took my teenage son who was the youngest there. I was the second youngest and Iâm a nasty middle aged bastard.
It was very good, though. Decent journey bluesman with a terrific band. Lots of old people dancing at the end. It lifted the spirits somewhat.
Had to wait over an hour between Natives and Mothxr last night due to technical issues re sound check. During that time 2 lads decided to dance wildly about whilst banging into pretty much everyone. Lord they had pointy elbows. Didnât mind them dancing and having a good time but did seem to be doing it on purpose as there was plenty of room to dance without touching anyone else.
I really enjoyed Mothxr. Not sure what genre youâd put them under but seen Indie as one label. The lead singer was in a fairly big US teen show and some films so there were lots of young women there. One of whom did not move at all to the music and stared at the lead singer all night in a slightly creepy stalker way. He came out to the front of the bar to do the meet and greet at the end and there was a little queue of young women eagerly awaiting their selfie with the Hollywood star.
Iâd definitely download the album and would see them again. Hopefully theyâll get a bit more recognition for the music.
