Some girls i work with went last night and said it was the worst show they've been to this year...
and thanks for stealing my name ;)

hehe... hey, well, it's a good name
damn! i'm gutted to hear that the show sucked. i love the album so much and just didn't want to be disappointed by the live performance.
do you know in what way it was bad?
sound engineering, lacklustre performance or crap musicianship?
i saw roots manuva last month and it was so very bad because the sound was fuzzy and muffled. should've got my money back by rights.

:)
from what they said, the performance was a bit lacking. They weren't really getting into it..
they also said the crowd was really shit, which probably had more to do with it.
id still go if you really like them. worst case, they suck. But if you don't go and it turns out to be great, you'll be kicking yourself!
- AlsoKnownAs0
Yes, you're right.
Here's hoping Freo's crowd will be more receptive. I know I will be :)
Thanks for the info, btw.
