Tonight's gig was absolutely electric. Having seen the band at an outdoor gig in Enfield earlier in the year, I went along only to see the bass player, an old friend.
Boy, was this a different gig. Everyone seemed focused and passionate. A really tight band, all listening to each other and looking at each other. There was a passion and an aggresion about all of the songs that had been missing in the summer.
It was a fairly entertaining event, people-watching in the audience. Men of a certain age, few women but all of them there for the music and loving it. The bar did a roaring trade in Jagerbombs and shots: audience on a mission for fun.
At one point, Pauline Black refused calls for one of the old classics: "Do we look like a tribute band?" The bulk of the tracks were from the new album (you remember albums, right? vinyl?) and they really kicked.
