Sorry Sean...

Woah. Just got back from a super sick So So Modern gig at the Media Club. First gig ive been to in ages. Its great to see such a mint band playing an all ages gig (on the same night as a r18 gig at Goodbye Blue Monday... respect) but also, actually enjoying it. Sleepy Age were first up. For a really solid band playing some enjoyable dancey music, they didn't seem that pleased to be playing. They seemed sarcastic and akward. Okay sure, they had a rather small audience (it was a pretty early show... it started ten to seven) and il admit, little indie scenesters aren't exactly the most responsive audience. It's just a shame really that some bands dont give it their all for an audience of kids. Thank god we have people like Disasteradio.

Out of my top 5 concert experiences, 3 of them feature Disasteradio. Sooo much freaking fun. You've got to admire a person who can make an entire audience go monkey fucking nuts in dancing pleasure.... all by himself! Love him. Disasteradio... never change.

I hadn't really seen much of So So Modern. I stupidly missed out on their last gig because of ....something (cant remember... I think it was Scriptless). So slick, so exciting... dangerous and yet hypnotically comforting, their music is sharp and electronic but still maintaining that live power through guitars that is missing from electronica. So So Modern are from a distant future where humans have mastered guitar skills and sculpt sound through crazed effects boards. Man those guys are clever... that shit takes years of hard gigging to get tight.

Well... I know i'll definately be borrowing their new album from Thom.

Now... I need to go paint (will he finish in time???).

Coming up on monday, Ill tell you a new game. It's a goodun.
