    I heard that Black Kids were supporting. I feel cheated!

    Did you really? Black Kids? Wow, that would have been some gig!

    I thought NA were pretty good…so shy!

  3. Lauren Says:

    I can’t complain too much, since I missed the support act anyway. So really, I can’t comment :)

    LOL, Lauren!! *falls about*

    Whaddya think of S&D?

  5. Lauren Says:

    I thought they were quite good, the new songs sound great live and fit into the set really well. The crowd was a bit subdued where I was standing, though - maybe because they stopped after every single song - so there wasn’t a great deal of momentum built up. But I’m just being terribly picky as always.

    I also realised in a moment of genius that if you ABBA-ised S&D (take their four initials), you could spell ‘ASDA’. You can use that if you want. Anyone..?

    Ah the witty repartee of esoteric journo banter. I’ll pass on that one though….

    Hadn’t seen S&D and decided to wait to see the show before buying an album. Thought they were great but you’re right about the breaks in the set, each song was very seperate…still a decent buzz in Whelans on the night tho!

    You should try their first one, Love the Cup. Even better than the new one.

    *gleeful hand-rubbing*

    I just realised you could expand this blog, I’d assumed you had a Molloy fetish. My applause at managing to get photos of me without a depressed face on me.

    I like your Mona Lisa smile, Frankie! We had a bit of eyeball there, woo!
    :)

    Damn, I’d sworn never to get my eyes caught on camera. I’ve let the side down :P
