Thrice last night were just buff, I remembered how much I really love that band, they sounded sooo good last night, though some of the older tracks still sound a little messy, they played 'To Awake And Avenge The Dead' and 'The Artist In The Ambulance' which just sounded amazing and they closed on 'Red Sky' which was just beautiful. They were good enough for me to fork out for a nice new brown T shirt seeing as I can't actually breathe in my old one. Circa Surviva were pretty good too, missed a fair bit of their set queing but what I did see sounded very impressive if not a little wierdy. Coheed were good too, unfortunatly my back had totally gone by that point and me and Daniel were just surrounded by wankers, I know you don't stand still at gigs but when we were stood near the back where most people were just standing doing the odd wiggle or air punch and some twat with no neck in a pantera wife beater starts punching the air in front of your face every second and leaning across you in gets ridiculous. We moved twice but ended up near such pricks each time, some guy who was practically seven foot stood right in front of me so my face was smooshed into his back which was so much fun [/rant]
Overall the gig was pretty fab as I do love Thrice and Coheed were rather special, only bitch was our train back to Egham had actually vanished, so we had to get a train to the arse end of the world (ie Hounslow) then a bus to Egham so got back an hour later than planned.
Friday night was fun too, went out with Daniel to meet up with Lydia and some of her mates, it was the first time I'd actually met Lydia properly and she seems really nice, reminds me ever so slightly of Clem from VIth form, before she went psyco, but that might just be the Islington accent. She was battered when we got the Medicine so I did my best to catch up. It was cool to actually meet her properly and now I know more than Daniel at his place I might actually visit more often haha.
Today I have to make it to the Insanity music meeting while simultaniously helping Melissa set up for the Masterclass eeek, I do get to meet Marsha from Xfm later though which is something to look forward to.
