I think they are great. Especially like the keyboard guy.


Qualo means good.

The Gossip last night at Kenntish Town Forum. F**king wicked!!!


It all started a bit badly, in that I was really tired, and didn't really feel up to it. We arrived to see a "bloke" on stage ding what I can only describe as talking sh!t along to a beat. He was wearing a red thong, and he had breasts. Very odd.


The next "act" were a drummer and a singer. Good drummer, singer that needed shooting... At this stage I really wanted to go home!


However, Gossip hit the stage, and opened with a new tune which is a brave thing to do! They're only a 3 piece with vocals, drums (very very good female drummer), and a bloke who switches between bass and guitar, but the sound is big enough to pull it off.


Anyway, this new tune was drums and bass, and got everyone moving! Her vocals were awesome all night, and she is such a good performer, you can't help loving her.


They finished their main set with "Standing in the way of control", which is probably their most popular song, and a real crowd pleaser! They then came back and did the most bizarre cover of George Micheal's "Careless Whisper", and then another song. To be honest, I think they'd reached their peak with "Standing in the way of control", and should have saved that for the encore.


Anyway, that's my only critisism. They were great, it was very good to see and hear them in a small venue (having first been impressed by them at Reading), and I would whole heartedly recommend them to anyone! Big big thumbs up >:D<

This is a long shot but I?m trying to remember the name of a band I saw at the Bull and Gate in Kentish town a few months ago and really enjoyed.


They are a 3 piece but with 2 bassists and no guitar and they play a set bordering on standup comedy. Crude jokes and music that could be likened to Primus.


The singer spoke with what sounded like it could have been a West Country accent.


Anyone know who I?m talking about?

*Ahem*

I had to read that twice before realising you didn't mean this forum! :-$


Hate the Shep Bush Empire, but probably because it was the first place I experienced the no smoking ban!

Acoustics in the forum have been great when I've been there, but that's only 3 or 4 times. Worst acoustics I ever heard were Ocean colour scene at Hammersmith, but I've heard other bands sound great there. I don't think it's so much the building's acoustics, I think it's the quality of your sound tech.

Yeah! Your're right there Annasfield. Earls Court has got the worse sound ever. Saw the Stones there in '76 and the sound was pretty ropey then but I was having such a good time at seeing them for the first time that I didn't really care. Then I saw Oasis there in '95 and couldn't believe that the sound was so dreadful. Haven't been back since. Mind you, who wants to go and see a band in a bloody aircraft hangar anyway?

    • Southwark Council Parking Enforcement Corrupt Practices   Today, Southwark Council Parking Enforcement is illegally giving parking tickets to cars that are legally parked on Stradella Road at the end near to Halfmoon Lane.   Firstly, there are several bays at the beginning of Stradella Road that have no parking suspension sign.     Cars are parking legally and are being given parking tickets illegally.   Southwark Council Parking Enforcement officers have been made aware of this illegal behaviour and shown that they are no parking suspension notices in those bays and or in that part of the road; however, they continue to issues tickets illegally and cars continue to park in those bays unaware that they are (apparently) suspended because there is no notice to say such, in fact there is a notice to say 1hr parking between 8:30am and 6pm.   Further up Stradella Road, approximately 250+ metres, several cars were legally parked and there were no parking suspension notices; however, they were illegally issued with parking tickets. Subsequently, an agent for Southwark Council was putting up parking suspension notices in this part of the road at around 1:30-2pm but only after the legally parked cars had been illegally issued with illegal car parking tickets to try and make it look legal. This is clearly a deeply corrupt scam being undertaken by Southwark Council and its agents. It has been separately reported to the police, local councillors and the local MP. It will also be reported to Southwark Council, however, they are uncontactable until next week. Similar corrupt and illegal behaviour by Southwark Parking enforcement officers was also clearly identified in Halfmoon Lane.   It is quite likely to have occurred in other adjacent roads. Photographic and video evidence of these corrupt practices have been provided to the police to investigate and root out corruption in Southwark Council.
