Just a wee bit late...

This has been a while coming, but a few weeks ago word got round that Adam Green was playing a cheeky little show in The Flowerpot. I got excited, and then realised I potentially had other plans, dependent on an email I was yet to receive... However, I did receive the email, so Adam Green went out the window...

So off I wander to Camden. Koko specifically. To see...
...


“WHO?! Tell us who is so much better than Adam Green that you sacrificed his only UK solo show for!” I hear you ask.

...

...

Well I will disclose this information. I went to indulge my 15 year old emo-self and see Funeral For A Friend.


And my goodness it was worth it.

The band are currently on tour promoting their new album ‘Your History Is Mine’ – a collection of their singles from 2002 – 2009.

I was expecting the gig to be full of little people and feel very old, until it was rightfully pointed out to me that everyone was about the same age as me, and we were all little people when the songs were originally released.

So, feeling old no longer, I spent the rest of the evening belting out the likes of Rookie of the Year, Into Oblivion, She Drove Me To Daytime Television and Juneau. And what a lovely time I had. As did everyone else I watched - from the comfort of and comparatively calm top floor of the venue - getting messy in various circle pits below me. Some friends of mine turned their noses up at my decision to attend the gig, as opposed to Adam Green, however, I care not for their opinions.

Then it was time to move onwards. Aftershow here I come.

And there I stayed until the early hours, dancing to ridiculous rock classics and talking to Charlie from Busted Fightstar. And giving him advice on man bags. Oh yes, I kid you not.

I think the correct decision was made.
