Went to see We Are Scientists last night. It was a fantastic but short set, although any set short of three weeks is to short to be fair. They played about seven tracks from WLaS and about four from BTM. The banter was kept to a minimum, 'twas a crisp performance from the boys to a decidedly lacklustre crowd of industry/clients/twats in the lush, intimate surroundings of a former strip club. There were a few "fans" though and they warmed up after about ten minutes with some mild moshing but people looked at them funny. The thing is this gig was a showcase for tiscali which is why there were so many "suits" I suppose, and it was being filmed aswell and nothing more puts the British off more than cameras in the area unless, of course, they're off their face in Ibiza and are happy to have their boat plastered all over ITV7 or Bravo,...I digress. I really enjoyed it (just to see them was enough) although it wasn't a perfect gigging atmosphere and I didn't touch a drop which I'm fairly proud of.
I was gonne title this"Was not WAS" then realised it was crap, oh well.
In other news the NME Awards weren't very good this year. The highlights being Faris Badwan towering over Tom Clarke, Dizzee Rascal featuring Matt Horne and James Cordon, Frank Carter handing out flowers and Kelly Osbourne embarrassing herself. Otherwise pants.
