MOG

/ After queuing for 40 minutes, I got my wrist band and program then headed to a local bar to study it while having a late lunch and a few Becks.... / In Koko at 6 to catch a subdued Ide Marie followed by an exuberant 'Does It Offend You, Yeah?' who played to a packed audience in a Klaxons stylee... / I REALLY did not want to miss Los Campesinos!, so headed up to The Enterprise which is a great Bozzer, but only has a tiny room upstairs with a capacity of 150. (We got bored between bands and did a head count...) / Catching the end of Simone White (some people really should not be let out of there bedrooms..) we quite enjoyed the full on punkie rock of Lovvers(although I usually do like to understand at least one word per verse...) / Every 30mins at the Crawl you get a text message telling you how long the queues are outside each venue. Most where 10-15 minutes, The Enterprise was 60! We are in for a show and Los Campesinos do not disappoint. / 15 minutes into the show security come running in and pull the band off because the ceiling is bending under all the bouncing. There are impassioned pleas for everyone to calm down and 80% of the audience then sit down. The band come back on and also play 2 songs sitting down before complaining of bad backs and standing up for the remaining tracks. / It really was weird seeing the band play, You, Me, Dancing! to audience who are sitting down and waving their arms their arms in the air! / Really wanted to go and see Robyn at Koko but everyone I talked too said they where going, so I thought, no, we aren't getting in, so headed home happy for an early night. / Ide Marie; / / Does It Offend You, Yeah?; / / Simone White; / / Lovvers; / / Los Campesinos! ; / / Heading out for day 2 in a couple of minutes..... / http://www.thecamdencrawl.com/
