Howdy sorry for the distinct lack on the blogging front, mainly down to the start off uni and the such. But to be blunt i feel like i have been thrown into a very deep swimming pool just with my pants on, leading to feelings of fear, anger and the asking off the question "How the hell am i going to do all this." But those fears aside i have also had some rich and exciting experiances to share with you.
Ill start with the latest musical gig i went too recently which was the grand opening off Wax:On in Birmingham. The rather goofy Late Off The Pier headlined the show along with slots from Indie Remixing Don Erol Alkan( my favourite dj personally). The Midnight Juggernauts, and the rather sexually ambigious and unique tweeness of Micachu.
So now it's about 11:00pm on a Thursday evening just a few hours before i have been hounded by my work mates too visit the Rainbow warehouse for said event. So powering through from the previous nights exploits in Snobs i make my way inside by parting a hefty £15 on the door, so the evening starts at a canter listening to some nice old school hip hop and RnB from the Bigger Than Barry boys in the Garden. Thats right fans off sand (whoever you may be) but the sand has made way for some rather nifty planks of wood and pleasurable astro turf. So soon after noticing the large amount off pilled up freshers, frankly a quite awful sight i smoothly made my way into the warehouse to listen to Micachu.
Admittidly i did spend most off the set with a drunken workmate in deep dissucssion over the gender off the lead singer, but after the bickering (said workmate went off too the toilet) i heard "lips" a shambling rambling song played via a tiny guitar covered in elastic bands (im no musical expert) but I liked what i heard, and it lead me to the bands myspace www.myspace.com/micayomusic full of jumbly fun and well worth a listen for fans off obscure come cute very much girl lead music. The picture will surly sum up my confussion
See..... Mental. Right so then after retiring to the garden with more drinks and Barry induced fun i managed to catch Midnight Juggernaughts, and im not sure how to describe this band but absolutely smooth as fuck hump lounge music. Im a big fan off the down and dirty bass coupled with a fancy French singing im anyones, this seemed the case in the evening as i grinded all about my pals at the show, i didnt care and nor was i under the influence of the drink, i decided to take it easy. But when this band came on Wow hump fest, to be honest it's hard to explain hopefully this video will show you the viseral power of the hump bass line, it should be a cult or something.Erol Alkan came and went, i must admit a rather average set of disco tunes nothing to shout about so onwards to the main event the late off the pier gents, who walked onto the stage greeted to cheers and applause, and the odd cat call from myself and several compatriots. But since i seen them in Frog at last March at the Camden Crawl they have came along way thanks too the supurb album Fantasy Black Channel and the buzz off almost every trendy London Kid who raves, but keeps it real by not exclusively listening to 80's dance. That said the band where tight, and played all the tunes and got everyone pushing about the place i was pushing away like a girl and going "loco" cat calling like a bad man. I was very much running on empty, that could have also been said of the crowd present who offered no real fun or excitement apart from the casual smirk as me and my pal Phil dry humped our way to hell and back. But overall i found excitement in the likes of Michachu and Midnight Juggernaughts, and the err thats ok from LOTP and the general no show from Erol ( i was dissapointed on this in reflection). Enjoy some Love LOTP youtube style it well Arty.
