horrendous crowd. worst ever. i could practically hear a chorus of a million 15-year-old minds thinking "oh my gawwwddd! my first, like, concert! I MUST PUSH EVERYONE TO BE RELLI KEWLLL!!1!!!!!111!"
fuck. i hate people. and i had some guy groping me for a while. ugh.
anyway, once i was pushed right to the front and firmly squashed into place it was ok. my ribs are so sore and bruised though.
terrible support. could they have been more wanky? i think not. also, a prime example of when meshing styles of music together does not work. the singer sounded like he was trying to be pete doherty... and then they had some sort of jesus and mary chain-esque guitar stuff going on...? it sounded rubbish. just crap.
of course, all the little tweeny girls were practically going mental over that loser guitarist who took his shirt of (god. sever me with a chainsaw, please.)
the strokes were solid and not disappointing. great set; they played all the "right" songs. but i do agree with you, melissa, that it felt rather mechanichal. overall it was a good show (if a little short), but not life-changing (ha ha). they have such an air of haughtiness about them. oh well, it's part of the appeal.
julian is massively sexy.
nick's hair needs to DIE. fuck. he's spoiling his looks.
fab is my favourite now. his legs are like matchsticks.
a girl i know waited by the stage door after the show and nick came out and signed stuff/said hello. oh man... she has some pictures, right? you can't even see his face in them because of his jewish lady hair. i wanted to shout out "nick, cut your goddam hair!" so many times throughout the show. but then he might have gotten upset and played horribly or something. it's best not to rile these kind of cool guys up.
