So the gig was pretty awesome.
My Heroine stole the show (to the point that I felt sorry for the band that followed them). After the girls finished playing, they were met with a chant of "One More Song", which apparently time constraints wouldn't let them answer. The band that followed them pretty much emptied the room (fail), which was primarily because the lead singer was going for a "sexy-mechanic" look (she missed) and she kept berating the crowd for not being into her music enough, which is really only something you can do if you're Johnny Rotten.
A special highlight of the set for me was the fact that they've now acquired their own "Bez", in the form of a woman who danced manically through the entire set. Depressingly, so few people got the reference when I mentioned Bez that I felt very old. But on the plus-side, there's something rather EPIC about the drummer (and one of my bessie mates) giving you a wink and a smile midway through your favourite song. Doesn't suck to know the band...even if I am kinda like a sexless groupie now.

So what else happened? Well, I got to play "wing-man", helping a friend of mine hook up - he got her number so looks like I did a pretty good job. That's right - Tom Cruise eat your heart out. Was Tom Cruise the wing man? Oh, I don't care.
The gig was at the o2 Academy in Islington, but my friend Al went to the o2 Arena first...something that will keep me chuckling for a long time.
Oh and my good friend Jake revealed to everyone that he enjoys a "leisurely" shower in the morning. And I'm pretty sure "leisurely" IS a euphamism.
Too. Much. Information.
