Gig Review: Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly, 19 March 2008.
[Last.fm | Flickr set | Youtube videos]
Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly @ Zavvi Store, Manchester.
So not quite as epic as last weeks Panic one but a recap of the acoustic set in the basement of the Zavvi in the Arndale Center in Manchester. got there around 2pm and grabbed the album and a writs band. Waited for Simon to turn up from the gym then went to the food court for food.
Back down at the Zavvi for 4 ish and there was maybe 10 people before me in the queue.
Sat for ever, then the xfm street team came round, I know know what a street team actually does ;) in this case free lighter and pen o_O idk but still, I needed a new one.
Then finally like 5:45/5:50 we were let in, he was supposed to go on at 5:30 but still.
Got front row!
Stage
Then some woman came on to introduce him. I though it was Go Whiley but helpfull youtuber has informed me it's not. Any idea who anyone?
Super good songs, I have no idea what they're all called. One day when I can be bothered I'll go through the album and match them up. Pretty sure they're all off the new album.
He played loads more, like at least an hour long set, possibly more. But I didn't really take much vid of it.
One cute bit, can't remember if it's on one of the vids, it was some guys birthday and he said that he'd try and keep eye contact with the guy for the whole song, and that the song was the closest to a love song he's ever going to write.
Now Pics, in a random order cause photobucket scrambled the names in a weird order.
Fave pic
Also how nice do photos come out when you're front row in a non pushy crowd?!
After the set some people buggered off but a queue formed along the stage and round the room a bit to get the album or single signed. I got in the queue and waited for maybe 10 mins and I met him. Got the CD signed for my lil sister. And had a nice quick chat with Sam consisting of
Sam: Hey, whos it too?
Me: It's for my sister
Same: Name?
Me: Martha
Same: Spelt?
Me: *spells out name*
Me: So you're playing at 5th Ave tonight?
Sam: DJing yeah
Me: Oh cool, I might be going, if I can force anyone into coming. We went out last night so...
Sam: Ah yeah, that's why I was late actually missed my first train. Used to be able to do two nights in a row but not now.
Me: Ah yeah, I know what you mean.
Sam: There you go
Me: Thanks very much, bye.
Sam: Bye.
Left store, met Simon again went home and watched Borat.
