i'll fall for you...

...a great band from Scotland, not entirely surprising that they're good friends of Frightened Rabbit - both signed to Fat Cat Records, a similar sound but i love it...really wish this band were playing the London Stag & Dagger as well as Glasgow in May...

Quiet Little Voices - We Were Promised Jetpacks

all aboard....the dream house!

...today I found out i'm moving into the house I really like....Tabby and Mike are hard to rival but a summerhouse, reading room, en suite....it's a close call (not really, i love you guys, and you can come run laps of my shower whenever you like)

...times are changing and i like fresh starts...

"..here is a bedroom that you've never been in..

here's your shovel, here's the ground..."

Gig: Frightened Rabbit

...well this was always going to have automatic brownie points for taking me back to The Leadmill for the first time since my uni days...oh how i have missed those sticky floors. I was quite surprised to see that the main room was sectioned off and the band were playing in the small second room (the home of my love affair with weekly requests for Laid by James and 60p vodkas)...no wonder it was a sell out with a capacity of about 150...

..but, it meant a better gig...the band were bantering with the audience and for once i could actually see the band rather than some sweaty guy's neck..

the sound wasn't great on opening but was soon recovered, and i can honestly say i've never seen a band work as hard as they did...all really talented musicians that made for a really impressive show...but star of the night was newest member to the band Gordon Skene who played so many instruments i lost count...

hightlights were the latest single, Nothing Like You and an acoustic solo piece by Scott in the encore..

oh, do woe me with your winter of mixed drinks and your sexy scottish accent...

Skip The Youth - Frightened Rabbit

And you can tell me all about what you did today...

...i really like the lyrics to this song...a lot. Hoping I can go and see these guys in my hometown in March...in the meantime...buy tickets to see them....they're awesome...
