Funeral For A Friend 4th November At Kentish Town Forum.

Theres no point in me writing a proper review about this as Im going to be very biased throughout and just keep saying that it was amazing and everyone who didn't go will not be complete in life...so just believe me when i say that it really was AMAZING! (to think that i was planning on just going home as I was too tierd to go is very shameful looking back on it).

Here are some of my thoughts on last nights events:

  • There really is nothing to do in Waterloo Station after 1hr, to think i managed to spend 2 hrs in there is amazing.

  • Queueing in the cold isnt very fun, although i did get to see We Are The Ocean going in the side door. Atleast i think it was them, im convinced I saw Dan and Liam anyways.

  • Not letting me have my camera with me because it's 8 megapixels is fucking ridiculous considering there are phones with 5 megapixel cameras.

  • I generally was the only person in the audience who knew the words to Attack! Attack! songs.

  • The guitarist from Attack! Attack! is teeeeeeeeeny and very cute so me and Dringy have decided to adopt him and make him do all of our washing up.

  • In Case Of Fire were good but I kinda felt like they couldn't really be bothered last night, they sound like leprechauns though which is always good.

  • Couples who spend entire gigs looking at each other instead of the stage do my head in! No im not being bitter and jealous but i really do see no point in paying to see a show then staring at someone the entire evening.

  • People who decide they wasnt to push past me and stand in the 1 inch gap thats infront of me can fuck right off, im short and find it hard enough to get a good view.

  • Despite my concerns I was going to get killed I LOVED Cancer Bats, they're amazingly energetic live.

  • However I LOVE their bearded/long haired basisst even more, he looks like an adorable troll; my new aim in life is to meet him, run my fingers through his beard and then adopt him!

  • Funeral For A Friend were as amazing as ever, although i still think their older stuff is better than the new stuff I think yesterday was the best performance i've seen by them so far.

  • Despite what I said in the past about Gavin not being as good as Gareth after last night i actually LOVE him, he's reallyyyyyyyyyy good live plus he's gorgeous which is always an added bonus.

Before I go here are some of Mr Matthew Davies words of wisdom from last night:

'Theres Some People Upstairs! Theres Some People Up There In The Belfrey!'

'Yes We Are Funeral For A Friend and Yes We Are Very Fucking Welsh!'

'London Your Vocal Arrangement and Coming Togetherness Is Fucking Awful, It's Probably The Worst We've Heard On The Entire Tour, You're Really Letting Yourselves Down So Lets Try That Again!'

[Near The End Of Streetcar He Suddenly Stops Singing]
'Erm London I Think You've All Probably Guessed What I've Just Done...If You Haven't I Just Made A Little Barf In My Mouth, I Think I Ate Much To Near The Start Of Events...Oh Well Never Mind Onwards And Upwards We Go!'

'Give It Up For The Rage!....Or You Could Just Call Him Gavin If You Want?'

'Right I Want You All To Make A Claw Shape Like You're Holding Some Metal Grapes...After The Count Of 3 I Want You To Direct Your Metal Grapes At Mr Roberts And Scream Go Mother Fucker Go!'
