I was singing that lyric as I walked out of The Clubhouse from seeing Your Vegas/Switches/The Bravery.
The first two bands were british, so you know I was in heaven.
I went with Gina (as normal, haha) and we got some thai food (again, as normal, haha) and got in line about 45 min before the door was going to open. We got a bravery button and two Killers stickers, one is brandon from rmm video where he makes that weird movement to the japanese elvis. We didn't know who was opening and it turned out to be another band from England! I was pretty happy. The lead singer looked and acted just like Julian Casablancas, it was crazy. They also sounded like U2, what a combo. Gina began to fancy the drummer but he didn't look good from where I was viewing him, and I also didn't bring my spectacles inside. They had a very big rock sound to them, I liked it. Next was Switches, which I was excited about since I was a nerd and listened to their myspace songs over and over and fell in love with their music. They played all except one song from their myspace, but they also played this fantastic amazing song, and I didn't catch the name of it. Bollocks. The downside to this was two horribly obnoxious guys totally dissing the band after every song they played, and after Gina told them to shut their lips up they proceeded to talk about us, and I have super amazing hearing and I heard all of it, wankers they were. The Bravery got delayed because a p.o.s. mic wasn't working and it took foreverrrrrr to get it to work. I was also behind a guy taller than me who kept flipping his badly straightened emo dyed-black hair into my face and wasn't into the first two bands at all. Oh yea, Switches are british too and towards the end of their set they played two songs that sounded very Cribs-like but more poppy. The bravery came out and started off with one of the songs on their new album I didn't like, split me wide open. They played all their singles during the normal set, so I wasn't sure if there was going to be an encore, but there was. The crowd was intensely into it. Some people only new their single songs, so pssh on them. And the assholes behind us were just standing their moving their heads. Idiots. Let me say that Michael has awesome stage presence and he even sang one of the new songs off their remixed album! way cool left handed guitarist and Anthony was looking hot haha. It was also John's birthday. After the show we went to the merch booths were both of the hot accented bands were hanging out. We talked to Your Vegas and my god, the drummer turned out to be amazing. His name is Mal and he has an accent similar to Jim Sturgess. We talked to him about the normal and London and the mighty boosh and how Thom from the Switches looks and sounds like Noel (which he totally did! it was uncanny) We took some pictures and talked to Switches then left and wanted to bang all the british musicians we had just met. Good night it was.
and now, I don't have any upcoming shows. How sad.
except for PHANTOM PLANET in April.
But they are touring with pretty shit bands, but I think they play first
