Friday night we went to see James Corden and Matt Horne do a preview show for thier up coming BBC sketch show and it was fantastically funny and the show will be a massive hit elevating them to Little Britain Status. Trust me they are that funny!
Sunday night was the NME New Noise Tour at Norwich Waterfront the reveiw of the bands in a nutshell...
White Lies - Missed them as they were on really early and we were still in the pub garden over the River!
Team Waterpolo - I had only heard the Letting Go single that i really liked and they only played half a dozen songs but looked like they may be a very good little band. Pleasantly surprised.
Freindly Fires - Excellent, innovative sound, mixing dance rhythms with guitar and bass and a really strong singer. Not a duff song in the set. Would pay the £9 ticket to see them alone again. The debut alum could be a corker.
Crystal Castles - Mmm Came on in darkness and played the whole set with a strobe light going. The New rave kids were out in force with the glow sticks and face paint. Very dancy techno although i would question how much was "Live" with a drummer/singer/guitarist only on stage no noise seemed to be linked to thier movements and the music!!! Pretyy good sound but more like being at a club than seeing a band. After Freindly Fires was a bit of an anti-climax although they did get a very good reaction from the crowd.
Overall - Worth it for FF alone, and a good insight into some promising new bands for the less than a tenner entrance fee.
