The Mood

So,
I was sifting though the myspace bulletins and I saw this band, The Mood, who I occasionally listen to and I noticed they were coming to London. Out of the blue, I just decided 'what the hell' and I asked them if they needed some help selling their shizz. (they're not that popular yet, so it's a good way to meet people) Marco sent me a message and was totally all for it. I haven't really listened to them that much, (I only am now cause I have their cds finally) but they're good. They're fantastic people, but actually I think some of their songs are missing that *punch* on the cds. Live, they're totally bad-ass and awesome and full of energy, but the cds seem to lack that (i'm not hating, because I love them). I really had no idea what to expect, besides the typical knowing how to sell merch. The venue, The 100 Club, is right off of oxford street, in this tiny little entrance between two huge typical department stores. it's a typical venue, with the bar filled with people in between sets of bands. I met up with them and they were super thankful and during their set they even gave me a shout out (ahem, unlike the other band I merch for who seem ungrateful.) We went to Marco's brother-in-law's (Sam) flat afterwards and just chilled and finally got to brush up on my football (soccer) skills. Jeremy, Sam's flatmate was filming the show and made me do an awkward merchandise dance, haha. I didn't have any drinks up till the end of the night (even though I got offered multiple times, finally! haha.) It was nice that they're american too, so I knew pretty much how they'd act (since I know british bands are a bit more crazzzzzzy after shows.) Basically, you should hang out with them any chance you get.

Cheers
