« PHONE'S DEAD | Main | TWENTY PENCE BIT » July 19, 2003EASYWORLD GIGThursday night was the Easyworld gig at the University of London Union. Simon H, Shaun H, Matt S, Lucy R, Mark R, Alex Mac, Luke and I all rocked up to the venue in London Euston and immediately began commenting on what we saw. At first we thought we were in the wrong place, as the queue of people we found ourselves in seemed to have the average age of 14. Alex' eyes lit up at this and we watched the students of today. Big hair seems to be back. Wild, messy, large hairstyles are definitely back in student fashion, and so are luminously coloured clothes. They are all a tad porky round the waist as well, which made Simon H relax a little. Shocked by the £3 a pint bar charge, we stood in the centre of the wobbly-waisted, big-haired students and watched the gig. The first support band was 'Atlas', later renamed 'Lifeless' and 'Charisma' - they had absolutely no stage presence and seemed to drone out the same song over and over again. The female lead singer was a plus, but she needed to be wearing something better than a maternity dress. The drummer bore an uncanny resemblance to Alan Partridge and was heckled with cries of 'Back of the net' whilst he tapped away on his Argos toy drum kit. Pathetic. The next support act was 'Delay' and although they were better and actually entertained rather than wailed away, I still could not appreciate them. The lead guy was very good vocally (and surprisingly high-pitched) but I couldn't help wondering how many cans of hair spray they had gone through in the dressing rooms. Easyworld were brilliant - rocking tunes, immensely talented lead singer/guitarist/piano player/harmonica player/banjo thing player and the female bass player was wearing a pvc outfit. Splendid. All in all a most amusing night with Easyworld. When's the next one? Posted by jonola14 at July 19, 2003 8:40 AM Subscribe!Comments Oi! That's not a kettle! Posted by: Wibbler at July 19, 2003 9:47 PM Yes a rather jolly night all round. On noticing the "Laney" amps on the stage prior to the gig, I took the opportunity to point out to our favourite webmaster that Laney are the second biggest amp manufacturer in the world after Marshall. However, they are actually owned by Marshall and in fact the inventor was called Marshall Laney. What a load of bollocks. Posted by: Alex at July 20, 2003 8:00 PM Get a life Alex.
