On Tuesday I went to see my friend's band called What Every Woman Wants at The Social in Little Portland Street. I would describe the music as edgey 80's influenced electro pop, which is right up my alley, so I was very happy. I feel I'm allowed to like 80's influenced electro, as I was officially there the first time around, so I can't be accused of jumping on the bandwagon, I was just too young to go to gigs(yes, even me) at the time so now I can enjoy the live experience of bands doing their own take of it from that time. Anyway they were really good and worth checking out on MySpace and if like me, you're a bit shallow and feel it helps to like a new band if you fancy one of them, they are are all very attractive.
On Thursday I went to see Alphabeat at King's College. They were also surprisingly good if you like good quality pop music, with decent melodies. I thought my musical integrity was going to be stretched to the limit but that was not the case.They were really into giving a good show and really feeling the music which rubs off and makes you enjoy it. They seem like a very happy band, which makes a nice change. King's College is also very good for a venue as you get fab views of the Thames and they have a decent sound system. My only fault was that they seem to have built a quite a gay following(nothing wrong with that obviously) but a large chunk of them turned out to be squealing queens who try their upmost to annoy the hell out of you. Personally I I can't stand them but that's another blog for another time.
On Friday I attended CM's leaving do at The Miller near Guy's Hosptial. He has officially left the Logica workplace, so we got drunk to mark the occasion. It was a good night and a decent send off(which means we all got quite pissed) but it didn't hide the fact that many of us knew he will be genuinely missed. He is no longer here to brighten up our days with his many insights(some down right bizarre) on many things such as life, love, hate, gym, grime and Catford to mention a few but I'm sure he will be satisfied in the knowledge that he has left behind a scene of mass hysteria, similar to when Take That split up. Quite frankly I'm sick of hearing women and even grown men blubbing all day.
That's all folks
