Korpiklaani Gig
Its been ages since I posted.
Its weird there weren't any gigs for ages and now there are so many I can't go to them all. One I did go to was Korpiklaani on Thursday which was really good fun. Most the support was pretty good. I was particularly impressed with how much Battlelore had improved since I saw them a couple of years back. I quite enjoyed them then but they were really good this time. I suspect how much like them depends on your ability to get pat the daftnes of a band who do songs about the Lord of the Rings while one there singers waves a sword about. They also came across as quite nice guys and hung out by the merch stand with lots of fans.
Korpiklaani were really good fun as always there aren't too many metal bands who I'll watch with such a massive grin but there music is just plain fun. Its certainly unusally happy sounding for metal. As an aside I am utterly convinced there singer is the happiest man in metal. He certainly appears so on stage anyway.
I also picked up a couple of shamen (the lad singer o korpilaani's old band) cd's and a rather nice happy little boozer T-shirt.
Got a few mor good gigs coming up highlights inclu Voodoo Glow skulls, Neck andf the Peacocks tomorrow and Streetlight Manifeto on the 13th. I'm also meeting Chris (Ex- Drunken Master) before Streetlight Manifeto.
