We Are The Physics

I promised photos and videos but I managed to forget to take my camera so I'm just doing a review instead.
There were five bands playing the Prancey Dog stage so we were headed there. Soundcheck was still on so we decided on our hunt for We Are The Physics and failed so went for a coffee at Great Coffee on the Quayside instead. Well, I had a strawberry milkshake. After that we decided to return to the venue where first band The Cornshed Sisters had just finished, said hi to Ross from The Futureheads and sat down on the plush tiered seats up the far wall. Not long after we struck gold, leaving the room only to bump into 3 Michael's and a Chris ('Eeeee, you've had your hair cut!') We had a nice chat with them before they disappeared backstage. I think we went back outside for a walk next, looking for the steps to The Cumberland Arms coming back to catch the end of Chippewa Falls who sounded amazing, their music reminding me of waterfalls and forests and stuff. I just seemed to melt away. It was the next interlude and I must have bumped into Michael M (literally) twice. Much fun. Next up was Lianne Hall with a guitar, a repeat pedal and a keyboard and using them all to great effect. We watched Les Cox (Sportif) from the balcony. I had already heard about them so what I was expecting was different to what we got. They were quite fast paced and dancey which is what I usually look for in a band. Managed to get a nice chat with the drummer afterwards, congratulating him on the set. Anddd... finally.... WE ARE THE PHYSICS!!! I. Was. Completely. Blown. Away. Last time they played in Newcastle one person turned up (that being my Adam) but they've collected together a few fans since then. For one song, Michael M wanted us to completely destroy the place including us jumping off balconies and breaking each others arms, a very violent mosh pit. For some reason the crowd had become a bit smaller after Les Cox (Sportif) but I'm pretty sure if everyone had stayed they would have been willing to participate in the request. As promised the set included a world wide premiere of new song Dildonics. It started a bit slow but turned out as a tune of the catchy variety, it's going to be a hit. Also played was the 'English National Anthem', the Eastenders theme tune. To close up for the night was a rendition of Less Than Three (featuring yours faithfully). Oh yes, I played Michael M's bass. Usually he gives the bass to a random crowd member and jumps around the crowd. Originally it was given to a lad at the other side who ended up stading it up in front of him because he didn't have a clue so I ended up with it, I very much confused Michael as he was looking for it to get it back! Overall it was the best I've ever seen them and I'm looking forward to them playing here again.
Post-show hugs and a chat with Michael Guitar followed, before we had to run to catch the last bus. We would have stayed if we could but next time they are here we will make it up for running off.

It's been raining again

It's warm and sunny too, though, which is nice. We Are The Physics later, haven't seen them yet but will go out hunting later which should be fun!

NARC. Fest tomorrow

Featuring We Are The Physics. Expect photos, videos and a full review. See you on my return.

Bored

Cure that doesn't involve me having to go to bed? Because I'm not tired. Just bored. And I have been all day. Alongside a splitting headache. But I know why that is.
I've not yet got any more artworks or photographs to put on here. There's been a Sugarplum Fairy picture I was doing but I abandoned that ages ago.
Today I went through some of my stuff looking if there was anything I could throw out but I seem to have done that so often there was nothing. I'll probably find something in a couple of weeks though. I intend to have a massive clearout before I could on holiday and then when I come back I can focus on packing. Tomorrow, though, I might play bass. My fingers don't seem to be getting damaged as much anymore which is good but considering the amount I've played the skin doesn't seem to have hardened up as much as I expected. It's done naff all really. I'm getting better at playing continuous notes now (ie The Lovecats by The Cure). The faster songs I used to be really go at are killing my wrist, but I never give up.
I've just invited We Are The Physics out for lunch. Much fun.

Bruno....

WTF?! Very, very entertaining, it was f--king hilarious. But very rude. Including bondage. Nice.

Managed to get HMV to order in Mando Diao's first album for me. Well I'm hoping it's the right one. The guy didn't understand 'Mando Diao' and I'm not too clear with saying letters to spell it so I ended up telling him album titles. Two albums came up for 'Bring Em In' but even my garbled version of 'Mando Diao' sounds very different to 'Buddy Guy'. Thank Gustaf.
Looks like it's probably eBay for the other albums...

Got tickets for Biffy Clyro. They are playing Newcastle O2 Academy on November 4th. Tickets are £16.50 each and can be bought via your regular vendors.

I got 2 free meals courtesy of Marks & Spencers today. What happened was I'd made my order and hadn't received it after half an hour so went to investigate the situation. They think they got the order mixed with someone elses so I got a full refund plus an extra pound or so. I originally bought the meals as meal deals but got back how much each item costed individually.

Ended up in a Weatherspoon's pub last night. There was lads there as part of a Stag night and 2 were ejected from the club after pulling down their pants and dancing. Very funny.

There's a sale on at Fenwick's. Go. And don't forget to visit the 3rd floor.

Hiro cameo in Goldmember

Watch out for the Pokémon!!!

Two members of Panic! At The Disco have quit

One of them was a replacement member anyway. The other guy was apparently the songwriter which is the best possible outcome because then we won't have to put up with any more of their tripe. Hope this is the end. Emo bands should be shot.
Amen.
