GIGS : Mika Bomb
Again! And again next friday.
They are launching their latest album, but by the size of the audience last night it won't be very good for them. Combined with the drug induced stupidity of the bass player the overall feel of their set was negative. Which was a pity as I appreciated their music more now that I've listened to their original CD a few more times.
They had interesting support too - Oki Dog were headed by a chinese-uk girl who dextrously swapped from Johnny Rotten yelling to 'proper' singing throughout their songs. I quite liked this, but it was all let down by their crappy drummer who was either unimaginately awful, or overly imaginatively bad.
The middle group, the Copters, were great fun in that camp english way. They even had a robot! The music was very tight, good and heavy, and fresh (for me) sound. I will be looking out for their single.
So I am going to see Mika again next week so I can get their CD and hopefully enjoy a slightly more packed venue.

Perhaps you can approach them and say g'day?
It can't hurt your social status! Also, seeing as you seem to be somewhat of a regular, they may (or may not) appreciate some of your thoughts on how they're progressing. Musos (and artists of all kinds crave regular feedback on their performances. Sorry if I just either a. offended someone in your family/friends or b. told you something you know sine childhood.
Maybe I'm just trying to live my life through your blog-ventures (seeing as I'm stuck in a country run by Vogons).
