I think they are great. Especially like the keyboard guy.


Qualo means good.

The Gossip last night at Kenntish Town Forum. F**king wicked!!!


It all started a bit badly, in that I was really tired, and didn't really feel up to it. We arrived to see a "bloke" on stage ding what I can only describe as talking sh!t along to a beat. He was wearing a red thong, and he had breasts. Very odd.


The next "act" were a drummer and a singer. Good drummer, singer that needed shooting... At this stage I really wanted to go home!


However, Gossip hit the stage, and opened with a new tune which is a brave thing to do! They're only a 3 piece with vocals, drums (very very good female drummer), and a bloke who switches between bass and guitar, but the sound is big enough to pull it off.


Anyway, this new tune was drums and bass, and got everyone moving! Her vocals were awesome all night, and she is such a good performer, you can't help loving her.


They finished their main set with "Standing in the way of control", which is probably their most popular song, and a real crowd pleaser! They then came back and did the most bizarre cover of George Micheal's "Careless Whisper", and then another song. To be honest, I think they'd reached their peak with "Standing in the way of control", and should have saved that for the encore.


Anyway, that's my only critisism. They were great, it was very good to see and hear them in a small venue (having first been impressed by them at Reading), and I would whole heartedly recommend them to anyone! Big big thumbs up >:D<

This is a long shot but I?m trying to remember the name of a band I saw at the Bull and Gate in Kentish town a few months ago and really enjoyed.


They are a 3 piece but with 2 bassists and no guitar and they play a set bordering on standup comedy. Crude jokes and music that could be likened to Primus.


The singer spoke with what sounded like it could have been a West Country accent.


Anyone know who I?m talking about?

I had to read that twice before realising you didn't mean this forum! :-$


Hate the Shep Bush Empire, but probably because it was the first place I experienced the no smoking ban!

Acoustics in the forum have been great when I've been there, but that's only 3 or 4 times. Worst acoustics I ever heard were Ocean colour scene at Hammersmith, but I've heard other bands sound great there. I don't think it's so much the building's acoustics, I think it's the quality of your sound tech.

Yeah! Your're right there Annasfield. Earls Court has got the worse sound ever. Saw the Stones there in '76 and the sound was pretty ropey then but I was having such a good time at seeing them for the first time that I didn't really care. Then I saw Oasis there in '95 and couldn't believe that the sound was so dreadful. Haven't been back since. Mind you, who wants to go and see a band in a bloody aircraft hangar anyway?

      Lower Lordship Lane: footpath boozers forcing passersby into traffic

      By claresy · Posted

      I live locally and am on Lordship Lane and North Cross Road most days. I've never been forced into traffic, or noticed any problem in any of these places! I appreciate that might be different with a buggy or mobility aid. I like to see people enjoying themselves outside.

      Watch your pets - meat/fish left on Dawsons Hill - could be poisoned

      By Angelina · Posted

      It's good that you've never personally had to experience poison being left but it is a known fact in this area. It's not fly tipping - people leave food out for foxes but there are also people who purposefully leave food out to kill animals.

      Lower Lordship Lane: footpath boozers forcing passersby into traffic

      By i*Rate · Posted

      Just read this posting about the Blue Brick Cafe which I supported when they first applied to open. I Spoke out for them in front of three councillors because the council didn't want a cafe to continue there in a residential area. What a joy it has been seeing them there ever since and I though that it was the owner, Daniel, who had stopped putting the tables outside himself. Sorry to learn that it was Southwark Council putting a damper on things. I never noticed those table blocking the whole pavement and I live nearby and walk past regularly. One local, newly arrived resident in Fellbrigg Road tried the block the expansion of he North Cross Road street market some years ago - shame how some people have their own biased views. Sound like a bit of a situation up at the EDT though. Cheers!
