Fabulous Carling Homecoming for The Darkness last night.
Let's set aside for a moment that any sort of "homecoming" for The Darkness should certainly be at The Barfly in London's very own Camden Town, as it's where they did their first half a dozen or so proper gigs. Last night's show at The Astoria was a triumph. Three costume changes for Justin, an impromptu walkabout in the crowd, spectacular pyrotechnics, a storm of glitter, autumn leaves, and shock of shocks SOME NEW MATERIAL! The long awaited Christmas Single was garnished with a choir of tiny carol singers, but was a touch to cheesy for my non dairy tastes, but its a firm contender for the number one spot.
Wacky set up with with the tickets - everyone gets a laminate to get them into the gig, then some punters are lucky enough to get a wristband to get them in downstairs! Only thing is, everyone knows the cool bit of the Astoria is upstairs, all the celebs are in the Keith Moon Bar, so that's where we want to be. But if you've put your wristband on already, security guys say no. OH NO, HOW WILL WE POSSIBLY GET ROUND SUCH A WELL THOUGHT OUT SCHEME. Apart from taking the wristband off again. It was well worth it to see Sophie Ellis Bextor, Mark Owen and the drummer out of Menswear, I can tell you.
Thanks to Rupe for getting us into the aftershow, without which I'd not have met my new favourite band, The Goldie Lookin' Chain. You knows it.

Freebie of the week has to be my Fighting Cocks "Council Fabulous" t-shirt I got from Charlie. First time of wearing it and some lady in Safeway was asking me where she could get one... maybe I'll fund the making of some more and we can sell them.
Off to the Limp Bizkit gig in Finsbury Park now, not sure how well attended it's going to be, despite being free. A mate just got given a couple of free tickets to it at Finsbury Park station, so he doesn't need these two I have for him. Hopefully there are people wanting tickets still and I can make someone's day, but I can see us not being able to give them away...
A combination of this gig, and just listening to Faster Pussycat doing a cover of "I Was Made For Loving U" has made me very nostalgic for the time Kiss played in Finsbury park, I will post up my pictures of that day soon. Got a popex gig mail this morning telling me there were Kiss tickets available! Turns out they were tickets for Kiss Me Kate instead, bah.
Second best freebie of the week is surely the new Muse album - I saw one go on Ebay for 70 quid yesterday, might flog mine.
