today was going to be mellow - but then i think hmmmm and leg it to Rough Trade East to see Poppy & The Jezebels...there are lots of young uns with I Have Been To A Festival And Proud Of It Wrist Bands that say 'under age festival' . My Little Pony & My First Festival joys.
Poppy & The Jezebels are tired but still play whimsical/wistful pop mini-melodramas while the rain drizzles down the all-glass windows....damply i squidge off to the middle of nowhere (canning Town) where I have my first practise with a maybe new band i might be in maybe....I end up playing 29 minute long songs that go burble electro-kraut and samba-bosso-disco boogie. i think i am 'jamming'. then i fight the public transport system to get back home to lovely Kings Cross....passing Water Rats i'm lured inside by Icarus Line who I've never actually seen live....the wind machine blows their lovely girly hair all over the place in a perfect rawk video style. The music is Very Loud Blues and I do like the singers shirt.
Do not take your lightbulbs to a gig. I would follow this advice but I'd not meant to go to the show and was stocking up on 100 watters....(yah boo to the environment. warm that global!
