Jónsi, 02 Academy, Glasgow, 05092010


Exquisite, bustling, quiet, beautiful, frenetic, joyous, a call to arms and to hope, a call of the wild, of nature, of seasons to show that the world still turns, life exists and will survive. A peacock tail of sun rays in a period of economic gloom. En masse, the little man can turn things around.

What a show, really, seriously. The unique sounds, imagination, atmosphere and sense of play from the multi-talented Jónsi and friends. The award winning UK based 'Fifty Nine Productions' is the team behind the amazing special effects and stage design. It really is something special, and will make any gig you can make, one to remember. Shows are indeed selling out though, so really you need to act fast or check on reliable ticket reselling sites. They do exist - a friend of mine got tickets to the November London show for face value. And that show my friends, will definitely be something to talk about.

So this picture, is phase one. My first impression. As you can tell, I noticed a lot. Keep your eyes peeled for the 2nd picture I do at the Brighton Dome next Tuesday.

Maximo Park, The Noisettes, and Stricken City - check them out!


On stage, with Maximo Park!


The Noisettes

I think I just returned from a flight with the Navigator...

Maximo Park - I finally found the pics from that infamous night! (You can't beat it - I was positioned on stage near the bassist at the back so I was looking out at the audience - felt like a right lemon. In order to stop feeling like a lemon, I knelt on the ground. However, after an hour my legs were officially dead and as I knelt up I nearly puked and passed out. Thankfully, my truly Rock & Roll moment passed without projection. Don't know what Maximo Park would have thought of that, tho' they had toyed with the idea of me standing beside the drummer with an easel. Maybe next time...)

Also check out Stricken City - I really liked them - frenetic energy.
