| Another Monday night in Whetstone at this nice venue - which can't decide on it's identity. In the past year it's been the Bull & Butcher (before refurb), The Real Music Club, and now the i-Bar - after another minor and uneccessary refurb. It takes a while for a new venue to get off the ground, but things are constantly being changed takeoff becomes less and less likely... Koopa are playing tonight. This band have a refreshing very English take on the now rather tired pop/punk thing. They are lively and have good stage presence as well as some decent tunes.  ÂLast time I saw them they were supporting the infamous Towers Of London (re-inventing themselves as a pop group) and spent far too much time chatting and telling jokes instead of getting on with the music. Fortunately they have reigned in this annoying tendancy tonight, although at times you do still want to shout out 'Get on with it!'. They still manage to be quite entertaining and have a strong personality of their own - which is unusual in this genre. This is still winding me up! Why bother going to the expense of putting the bloody thing in if you're not going to use it!  |
These Blogs mainly deal with the countless gigs I go to, but there is some other stuff in there too - and the odd rant! I've just finished adding over 900 of my old posts from MySpace on here - everything is now on proper chronological order from 2005 to date - there is a LOT to read. Some of the older links may not work anymore - just click on the highlighted text for links to more info.
