Last Night

Was splendid.

Unfortunately I got very drunk quite quickly - I blame the marquee, if their drinks weren't so expensive I wouldn't have bought my own vodka. So I feel sick and my following descriptions won't be the most comprehensive...

Anyway, I was sober for the highlight of my evening which was the lovely i LiKE TRAiNS, who came on first and held everyone's attention with another beautiful set. If you haven't checked them out yet - WHY NOT? Go do it now www.iliketrains.co.uk

Then there was Battle, who were fantastic, and got everyone dancing to their particular brand of indie rock, do they sound like New Order? do they not? lets fight about it all the way home on the bus...... ;-)

Um, then there was Kano who were completely different again - shouty hip hop stuff with BIG bass. Which was nice.

Oooh and I got to meet Crablin, Sean and Anschul, all of whom were very nice boys, but my drunken ramblings may have persuaded them to avoid me in future....



  • Re: Last Night

    Indeed. i LiKE TRAiNS for me were also the highlight, and their politeness was also very endeering.

    Did Battle sound like New Order? ....No,no,no,no,no,no,no (well, maybe a little bit).

    SCL - Hope your bacon sandwich is making you feel a bit better.
    • Re: Last Night

      And the Battle front man was very good.
  • Re: Last Night

    I've only just made it into the office after collapsing on Sean's sofa at about half-three this morning.

    My head hangs low...


    Everyone I met was lovely though and it was good to finally make a name/face crossover.
    • Re: Last Night

      fucksake. i missed the one where everyone finally met up. nm.
      • Re: Last Night

        Me too. Bastards.

          Sorry

            • Re: Last Night

              Good one Chris Morris.
              • Re: Last Night

                is that a chris morris thing? i've only seen one or two brass eyes and that nonse-sense ting.
                • Re: Last Night

                  On ep. 4 of The Day Today, Christopher gets hideously excited after basically starting a war between Australia and Hong Kong.

                  Fucking genius.
          • Re: Last Night

            Haha - and I had a really good time!!!

            Brainlove, you're moving to Londres soon aren't you?! Then you'll be here for everything, even if I have to wheel you in ;-)
            • Re: Last Night

              yeah, soon-ish, although plans have been delayed because of the stuff. and i'm not sure the marquee has wheelie access. do you do piggybacks?
              • Re: Last Night

                For you Brainlove?! Absolutely!
              • Re: Last Night

                It does!
                • Re: Last Night

                  It was indeed a pleasure to see ILiKETRAiNS when I can remember the majority of their set.

                  I thought Battle were a bit bland but OK.

                  Kano were surprisingly good - nice beats and a damn heavy bass. The guy at the back recording it onto his videophone was a bit distracting though.

                  And that vodka-smuggling thing is well pikey. Next time - you gonna go to the park with your white lightning beforehand?
                  • Re: Last Night

                    hipflasks are the way forward. booze smuggling with style.
                    • Re: Last Night

                      Actually, you're right - think that was in the Observer magazine...
                      • Re: Last Night

                        really?? i got a hipflask for xmas, been after one for ages.
                        • Re: Last Night

                          yes the marquee is a rip off - mind you it is run by plum promotions!
                          • Re: Last Night

                            Pikey!!! Well I am a pikey from Portsmouth ;-) And we were sharing rollies......
                            • Re: Last Night

                              ... and wearing burberry caps
                            • Re: Last Night

                              I had to get off the train at Havant to get to Chichester so didn't get to see the lovely harbour :-(

                              At least you didn't resort to scraping butts out of ashtrays in order to construct rollies - which I know at least one person on this board has done...
                              • Re: Last Night

                                oooooh well i wonder which double bass playing girl that may have been.

                                    You did that as well? Well I never...
                        • Re: Last Night

                          Pretty sure it was in on of their past and present things one week - couldn't tell you which category it came into though.

                          They are handy though, I'll give ye that. I'm still on the brown paper bag around a bottle of cheap vodka look
                          • Re: Last Night

                            yeah - the problem with hipflasks is their capacity. but they are really cool in a grandad anti-cool kind of way. which is a look i do quite a lot.
                            • Re: Last Night

                              Is the anti-cool grandad yet another string to your lookalike bow?
                        • Re: Last Night

                          Does an empty evian water bottle count as a hip flask?

                          You can take the girl out of Portsmouth......
                          • Re: Last Night

                            ... but you'd have to do keyhole soul surgery to get portsmouth out of the girl.

                            (sorry i keep doing "..." leadins with smart comments.)
                          • Re: Last Night

                            You've just been to the posh outskirts darkpigeon, you wanna check out tiger tiger at the 'wharf - get back down there!

                            Now excuse me while I go back to the Argos website to select some more creoles....
                            • Re: Last Night

                              Is that even worse than the tiger tiger in trafalgar?
                              • Re: Last Night

                                yes - I bet you didn't think that was possible but it is....
                            • Re: Last Night

                              An Evian bottle is fairly posh - it coulda been coop or something?! Hip flasks are a bit manly......
                              • Re: Last Night

                                maybe you should hide licquor in a vapourizer and spray it directly into your mouth - therefore disguising the illegitimate moonshine consumption as the the application of eau de parfum and upholding the standards of feminine decency...
                              • Re: Last Night

                                SCL, it still cracks me up that you're from Pompey too.
                                • Re: Last Night

                                  ooh - I like the vapouriser idea, a malt whiskey might be nice like that!! Would take ages to get drunk tho...

                                  See Pompey has it's lovely people too, it's not all about having babies at 12 and beating eachother up!

                                    Yes it is.
                                    Portsmouth is the a-hole of the south - ships are shat Francewards whilst the cream floats to the top and nestles gently in Ocean Village.

                                    SOUTHAMPTON... FUCK YEAH.

                                    etc.

                                              Not sure about the pla-stic sur-ge-ry line in track one, made me laugh tho!

                                              Sorry, but when compared to the joys of Southampton, it is but a pale, and somewhat shitty smelling, imitation.

                                              Did the first railways go there? No, they were routed to Southampton.
                                              Was the world conquered from there? No, at the time Southampton was the major port.
                                              Did Harry stay there? No, he didn't, and he'll guide us to a finish above the Pompey scum.

                                              So nerrrrrrr.
                                              (*although I have plenty of friends from there and have nothing against them. The city, though, stinks. Gunwharf Quays should sink into the Solent and be done with it)

                    • Re: Last Night

                      Yeah, it is pretty much like Portsmouth actually. Except:

                      Southampton doesn't have an abundance of pehnomenally ugly architecture
                      Southampton actually harbours cultural and artistic life
                      Southampton is cleaner
                      Southampton is safer

                      Oh, and the residents are better. Obviously.

                      :)
                      • Re: Last Night

                        Don't start Portsmothians on the subject of ugly architecture.

                        It's a crime they pulled down the Tricorn.
                        • Re: Last Night

                          Actually I agree.

                          The Tricorn was wonderful because it had become synonymous with dire architecture. It was kind of a historical benchmark, a bit like Battersea power station or something like that - just too monstrous to be torn down.
