I feel I got up way too soon, though I slept 'til the afternoon

Last night I saw THREE SEEDS IN PARIS and NICK HARRISON play at Native Tongue in Epsom. For anyone who doesn't know, Native Tongue is like Epsom's version of CBGB's, it's also THE SMALLEST VENUE EVER, but it has such an amazing atmosphere and is pretty much the only place in Epsom with any decent live music. Basically, it's super cool.

It was the second time that I'd seen Three Seeds In Paris, and I loved them even more than I did the first time. Last night was only their 6th gig ever, but they sounded so solid and professional and exciting and new and AWESOME that you'd think they'd been together for years. Frontmen Mac and Tom share the same openly affectionate onstage relationship as Alex Turner and Miles Kane of The Last Shadow Puppets, and it's just as charming and adorable to watch. They also look just as suave. Lovely. As for their tunes, the best songs were 'Still Need You' with its ridiculously catchy chorus, and 'No Direction' (you can listen to both on their Myspace page) but they also played a new song too which was just as good. I think if you like the Arctic Monkeys (or even just a well-dressed young man) then you're sure to love this band. GO AND LISTEN TO THEM, OR SEE THEM, OR ANYTHING.


In other news, a cat walked me and my friend home after this gig. This has never happenned before....but I liked it.

Forget everything you think you know about me

I'm going to use this to write about music, art, film, literature, new things that I discover, old things that I rediscover, new people I meet, things that make me happy or sad or angry...and anything that really makes me think.
