Mon 26 Sep \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Morning Parade<\/a>
It was pretty handy that I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have any lectures on Monday, because I discovered on Wednesday that the journey on the train takes a fair amount of time and\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 I would have missed this gig. Which would have been unfortunate.<\/p>\n

VETO<\/a> were the support band \u00e2\u20ac\u201c I had been expecting two for some reason but I was kind of glad that there was only one in the end. They were pretty good \u00e2\u20ac\u201c the singer reminds me a bit of a friend of mine, only my friend didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have quite such an epic beard.<\/p>\n

Morning Parade<\/a> were aces. Apparently the guy standing behind me has known the singer for TEN YEARS. SINCE THEY WERE THIS TALL. TEN YEARS. YOU KNOW. TEN YEARS.<\/p>\n

Yeah. I got the picture after the 5th or 6th time he told me. Mostly that he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d been drinking.<\/p>\n

Then after about ten minutes some other guy behind me grabs my shoulders and says \u00e2\u20ac\u0153This is your fifth time?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. So I turned round and was BAFFLED by what appeared to be Frank Turner<\/a> asking me a question, only\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Frank\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s had a haircut AND he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s on tour in the US. So clearly, this was not Frank Turner. Just some guy. So I told him \u00e2\u20ac\u0153no, this is only my third time seeing Morning Parade.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Random.<\/p>\n

Incidentally, the first time I saw Morning Parade they were supporting Feeder<\/a> and Grant Nicholas FORGOT their name. Oops. He was adorable about it though and got the in the end. The second time I saw them\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 they were also supporting Feeder (do you see a theme here?) and Grant did remember their name.<\/p>\n

I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got a couple of Morning Parade vinyl singles, but nothing more. I should really sort that out. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s occurred to me that if the Stereophonics made music that was catchy and danceable and that I liked, they might sound a bit like Morning Parade.<\/p>\n

In other news, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sure I installed a last.fm plugin into my wordpress blog but it appears to be missing.<\/p><\/div>\n
