Simian Mobile Disco

Saw Simian Mobile Disco at Scala tonight. They were pretty good - stage setup and lighting were awesome. (Note that the lighting in the photo was taken before the show started !! All my other photos turned out blurry. Got a couple of vids - maybe I will try and YouTube them. ) On a downer, the set was by far the shortest I have ever been witness to at a gig for a headlining act - even to the point that they got some boos at the end ! Nasty !
We were watching from upstairs and managed to avoid the After Party heavies checking for wristbands. Got to hang around and dance to some tunes for another hour or so before catching the tube home. Off to Barc elona for the company weekend away tomorrow. Should be an awesome weekend if previous efforts are anything to go by ...

Chemical Brothers

Went to see the Chemical Brothers perform in Trafalgar Square on Sunday night. It was a "free" concert, which meant that most people, like me, probably got their tickets off ebay off people who drink Becks but dont like the Chemical Brothers !

Was a great night for it - almost a balmy English summer evening. Got reasonably close to the front and it wasnt actually that packed. I think the crowd was more packed at the back and they just assumed it would be packed up the front so didnt bother moving forward. Works for me !

The concert was great. Awesome visuals. A lot closer than I was for Glastonbury when I saw them. Really starting to wish now I had bought tickets to see them in December @ Brixton academy :-(

After the concert headed in to Soho for a cheeky pint and then onto The End to check out Superfreq. Pretty cool music. Headed home earlyish considering it was a "school" day the following day !!

Parklife Festival

Aaaargh. Would love to be in Australia to check out the Parklife festival. Some great names in electronic music on the lineup, including a few on heavy rotation on my mp3 player - Justice, Goose and Digitalism. (And the Greenskeepers for you maria ...) Well worth checking out if you get the chance ....

Justice @ Koko

Went to see Justice last Thursday at Koko. Crowd was warmed up nicely by a DJ set from the Klaxons who spun some great tunes. Justice were brilliant. The crowd was packed in down the front which resultant in some moshing at an electro gig ..... Much better than the Field Day gig - I couldnt hear the people next to me talking for a start !
