Last night’s Stellastarr* gig at Islington Academy was very good indeed, they’re ace, but also there were two good support bands, that’s my whole year’s worth of gigging in one week! The 22’s were kind of cute girl rock, from Noo Yawk, a bit too styled though, and then all the journo’s were there to see the middle band on The Ordinary Boys. A bit ordinary indeed I though, but everyone else liked them and said they were like The Jam, I think that is the official line on them.
Three pounds ruddy forty for a pint though, what’s that all about? And slow service at the bar. That’s a very bad venue indeed, and an odd sort of crowd, didn’t look quite like a London gigging crowd, especially not when all the journo’s left after The Ordinary Boys, they looked a bit provincial and a bit Christian, weird.
Yeah, I went to this gig. I’ve seen Stellastarr* in...
