The night Math The Band brought the awesome to Tunbridge Wells

Third Math The Band picture post in a row. Sorry, but I just haven't really done much else worth writing about recently. Last night, the Wheatus tour party headed to Tunbridge Wells in Kent and it was another packed house. I imagine 95% of the people there would have had no idea of what to expect from MTB, so watching people's reactions as the first song kicks in is rather amusing. The faces in the crowd show a mixture of 'what the fuck is this', 'ouch, this is loud', 'what is happening' and 'wow, AWESOME!'. Personally, I stick to to 'wow, AWESOME!!', although it is also rather loud.

This was the last show I''l be able to go to. I've done three in the last three weeks or so. It's been kind of nice escaping London just to go see a gig, something I haven't really done since my friend's band played in Kingston three years ago.

Anyway, some photos...Kevin is hitting some seriously impressive air in the first one.

Math The Band live at The Square, Harlow (28th September 2011)

Last night I went to Harlow to see Math The Band again. I just figure I have to take these opportunities to see them while they're in the UK. Who knows if and when they'll be able to come back.

I'm glad I went, as it was another great show. Kevin snapped string after string on his guitar and ended up playing the last song with just one left. Guitar strings are overrated anyway, right?

Math The Band (live at Boileroom in Guildford, 23rd September 2011)

I'd been wanting to see Math The Band for aaaaaaaaaaaaaages and last night I finally got the chance. In They're currently over here, supporting Wheatus on their humongous UK tour.

Was it worth the wait? Hell yeah! Sooooooo much energy and sooooooooo much fun! Definitely one the best shows of the year so far!

Vostok 5 gig (Hexicon, Darren Hayman, Tigercats at The Wilmington Arms)

Last night all the artists behind the Vostok 5 art project performed with their respective bands at the Wilmington Arms. It was a great night, awesome music, packed with people and a lovely atmosphere. Below are a few photos of Hexicon, Darren Hayman and Tigercats (Fever Dream and Robert Rotifer also played).

too many options...

So, tonight is the Vostok 5 gig at The Wilmington Arms. Darren Hayman, Robert Rotifer, Hexicon, Fever Dream and Tigercats will all be playing, so it should be alot of fun and MEGA BUSY. I'm pretty sure the majority of people I know in London will be there.

But...unfortunately there is a but...I do have tickets to the Teeth show at The Lexington. With PENS supporting! I don't think they have played since I went to their break-up show at The Macbeth aaaaaaaaaaaages ago.

Decisions, decisions...

Anguish Sandwich (live at The Wilmington Arms, 16th September 2011)

Anguish Sandwich are great.

Listen to their EP and buy it. It's great.



They played at the Wilmington Arms on Friday. They were great.

That's about it.

Omi Palone and The Proper Ornaments (live at Power Lunches, 9th September 2011)

I meant to put these photos up last week, but it just didn't happen. Better late than never, eh? So, on the Friday before last (making it 9th September) I went to the Omi Palone cassette launch at Power Lunches in Stoke Newington. It was a great night, ruined somewhat by the fact that I drank way too much. Pressed in only 100 copies, I'd be very surprised if there many (if any) copies of the cassette left, so you better hurry up if you want one. As far as I can tell it's still available on the Omi Palone website. It's one of the better releases I've heard this year.



The place was mega packed, so I didn't actually see Omi Palone. I heard them, though, they sounded great and I suppose that's the important thing.

Headlining were The Proper Ornaments, one of my favorite London bands at the moment. This time I managed to get a better position.








The Proper Ornaments are great. Have a listen.



An awesome night, with two great bands.
