If you don't know who they are, I'll give you a picture. First, they used to be a kindercore band and they still find in with the style. They are fronted by a women and have the normal instruments and a keyboard. Think Stereolab unplugged and no french-ness and more pop. Their set was only about 20 minutes but it was so worth the £5. Afterwards Kara and I spoke to them to find out about the album that just came out in Japan, where they're huge. Funny, since we saw them on Wednesday with about 30 other people. So they had no real idea when it was coming out in the states but were pretty sure it came out on September 10th here in the UK. When one of them mentioned touring in the states I asked who their booking agent was and they had no idea. They didn't think they had one but they weren't sure. It was kind of funny how none of them really knew much about their own band. Not caring makes you cool though, so they were doing alright.
The venue was a story of its own. It is supposed to see a super scenester place where you can see celebs like the Gallagher's and Geri Halwell or maybe some less famous but still unusually attractive. We saw none of these people, but everyone was still dolled up for the evening. They were all dressed to the nines and were looking to be noticed. The best part of the place though was the music. They were playing a variety of 60s soul and pop as well as other generally cool music. I am going back just for the soundtrack.
Last night was supposed to be a chill night, but instead I ended up going to some bar later in the evening, which wasn't the best idea since it was pretty boring. As I said, Leicester Square sucks. Tonight was another good one though. After work Kara and I went to Camden to go to Wagamama, our favorite little japanese noodle shop. It was great, as usual. Then, we moved on to our favorite pub in London, Monkeychew. I have discussed its coolness before. They have DJs spinning and it just a very relaxed atmosphere. I would live there if it were in Madison. You would too, trust me.
That's about all I got for ya. Don't for get, stay in school and don't do drugs. Well, at least commit to something and avoid something else.
