Camden Gig, Robots in Disguise (2/4)

Monday, April 26th, 2010

It takes me a few days to write up such a great evening because I have to sort photographs and add links and act like a real blogger hehe. (Actually i really want to watch a DVD before I sleep, but I think that’s not going to happen)

Anyway!

Robots in Disguise.

A trio whom Amanda Palmer had discovered a few days before (as she told us)

A short but super set of electrosyth punk that the crowd were invited to participate in and did so enthusiastically. They were fun, cheerful and you just couldn’t help but like their catchy tunes and smart lyrics.

Mighty Boosh fans would probably recognise them from their tour and the series, but *coughs* i am not a fan, so it was all nice and shiny and new for me :)

Thanks gals – it was a super evening ^^

Went up to Camden this afternoon to meet up with Maggie from the Gaimen Board and go to the Amanda Fucking Palmer gig which was superb! I didn’t realy know what to expect at all, so it wa sgreat ot have so many lovely acts and quality performances :)

Sadly my view was blocked by a pillar and my camera adjustments meant i only got a few good pics, the rest are lovely red swirly abstracts – i like them, so maybe I will post them at a later date.

Bitter Ruin

I do recommend you check them out on myspace as they were very good with ear stopping lyrics and fine vocals. Their set was short (too short) but, as they exlained, the gig was a last minute invite so they did really well with limited time :)

I’ll write more about the other acts tomorrow cos its late and I am tired, but that will give you enough time to listen to Bitter Ruin right? ;)
