You lost me with the first band....

Contrived major label pap.

This sort of stuff is the reason why there is no excitement left in music anymore.

Music should be challenging and fun and original.

This is yet another high pitched indie kid over a faux reggae beat. Lily Allen does it better.

No Reply at 109 who headlined the 229 last month and have almost sold out Camden Barfly on Friday are probably one of the most interesting bands I would recommend. Also The Nice Sharp Pencils from Halifax who are a two piece bass guitar dominated band playing some crazy stuff. They sadly have no London shows arranged according to their My Space.

You also get a Clubnight in your ticket at the Camden Barfly making it brilliant value I might add

hi BR - speaking of new live acts, you seemed to enjoy Burn the Fleet. keith liked em too and we're looking at a march/april date for his new place on old street.

thanks again for that tip!

Not sure if I will get to see WATP but definitely be at the other two gigs, both good bands...

Burn the Fleet - yep that was a very decent band. Good to see you managed to get in contact. The South of the Border venue is superb in a great position on Old Street.
