I'd forgotten how much I like live music

After a weekend of hip pain, and failing to get to Reptile, I dosed up and dressed up, and made it to the Screaming Banshee Aircrew/Luxury Stranger/Hindley gig at the Turtle. Despite the outfit trauma and pain, I'm glad I did

Shame about the turnout. I probably would have gone if Theatre of Tragedy hadn't been playing at the same time...

Oooo, you're back! How are you finding the icy weather?! Dying to hear about your trip!

No, Ed is quite hawt on stage!

I'm sorry we didn't make it - we'd been up in Nottingham for a party and didn't hit London again until late on Sunday evening, and were too knackered to go out again.

It's not just when he's on stage I can't speak though! I was like it with David for years - hence the reason we've only just managed to fall head over heels in love :-)

[valkyriekaren]

He's quite down-to-earth in real life!

[ladycat]

Don't ruin the David Bowie / Frank'n'furter mystique! ;-)

Well, the band's loss was my gain as it's ages since we've had a chance to chat and catch up.

I agree with you that they do put in a great performance even to a small audience.

It was really good to see you too and to hear about your Tango party horror! I was vaguely planning to see them again at the Red Stripe awards, but definitely think I'll go now, they were great.

I'm hoping the person I'm seeing that evening cancels so I can go along too.

Sunday night is a hard time to get people out almost anywhere. London is decidedly finicky about going out at the best of times. I would have liked to have gone, but on a school night after a busy weekend....

I think we're just spoiled. It reminds me of Brum in the 90's. Yes, we went to the Brum goth things every week. If there was a gig we went there too. A few brave souls ventured out further afield.

However the goths who lived further afield (Cov, Wolves etc) went to their 'once a month we do goth' local things *and* made the effort to come to a lot of the Brum things, despite having a lot further to come.

London's the same in extreme. Buses and tubes every 2 minutes, but we can't quite make it out of the door...

Bugger. Had been intending to go (I even had both cameras with me!), but we were too knackered after several hours being stuck in traffic to even call in at the venue. Bah. Going to the Red Stripe thang, though.
