...i love this city! Last night...The Roundhouse in Camden hosted not only Phoenix but already-rated, Two Door Cinema Club. The boys from TDCC put on an amazing show, the sound was flawless and despite having a smaller following than i expected the crowd seemed to love what they heard. I was heckling for Cigarettes In The Theatre which they didn't play, and oddly missing was Undercover Martyn, but I Can Talk more than made up for it...and hey, i get to see them again soon anyway when they'll hopefully be given a bigger set time...
...but Phoenix. Ah, beginning the set with Lisztomania...the first half of the song was played from behind a white curtain which dropped to reveal my future husband (ahem) and the crowd went mad. The Roundhouse is one of the best venues to see a band in London in my opinion, even a short-arse like me can always see the stage and get quite close in...even from the sidelines the sound is amazing. Phoenix basically provided a party for the fans, great stage presence....and non-stage presence..when lead singer, Thomas Mars, jumped into the crowd for the encore and crowd-surfed his way back on stage. Highlight for me was Rome but the band made a good move in finishing the set with 1901 which just had the crowd going mad right until the end...
Rome - Phoenix
