The first time since last week with 'Sir David' and a mere three years since I attended the mighty but dainty Fibbers with the 'Black Whale'. In some way it was already different and tremendous. Not to mention The 'G-Dog' was in attendance for the first time at a tight, sweat box of a venue. Everyone wants to pop their Fibbers cherry.
First on-stage were...can't remember...don't care. They had a drummer who wanted to be in a death metal speed band the rest wanted to be in a 'watered down' Sum 41. END!
Then, my highlight, but bare in mind were not the 'official' highlight of the night, The Xcerts. As fewer people attended the front of the venue to enjoy them, which baffled my tiny brain to say the least. They were ferocious in their execution but delicate in their delivery. Very tight as a band even though bassist, Jordan had a broken wrist.
To say I have only been enjoying the mumblings of Mr McLeod for a week showed how much they can endeavour the brain wave and pull at them chords that, usually bad songs would accommodate. This time though Biffy/I Was A Cub Scout/Twin Atlantic/Idlewild (one for you guys) were attacking the brain cells and all for the better. 'Cool Ethan', 'Do You Feel Safe?' and 'Crisis In The Slow Lane' all pleasured the musical bottom of my gut. Just a shame 'Nightschool' wasn't played but again, a broken wrist, I believe is a just cause.
Another great gig at Fibbers and another band that should go onto bigger and better things. When has the world been a just place? Whats that? Coldplay have just released a single?
Oh, and This City played!

I've listened to the song a few times now (never heard of him or the song before). I really like the intro but the rest of the song doesn't do a great deal for me. Could be a different matter on an album. I haven't digested the lyrics yet so that's another aspect which could be awesome. I will listen more.
I am currently listening to Frank Turner - Poetry For The Dead. He's an inspiration to an musician/music lover.
Some Other albums I've been listening to:
The Xcerts - In The Cold Wind We Smile
Girls - Album
Funeral For A Friend - Your History Is Mine
Various Artists - Dark Was The Night
Wow thank you! I have lot of homework ;-) You are very kind
Let me know what you think!
