My shoes were, I think, the only brogues in the tiny, tiny downstairs performance area at the Hope & Anchor in Islington on Monday night. It's a long time since I've seen or rather heard any music live, the timings that evening seemed to fit, and I knew one member of one act and the partner of another, so I decided to go. Madame Morbidfrog's husband (I ought not to call him Mr Romeburns, as that isn't his musical outlet at the moment) had the cheek to come on on time and so I missed his entire set ('I'm sure you can catch it on Youtube', he reassured me), but I did manage to see the others. I liked Last July most, and will look up some of their stuff.
Since when did Goth acts (a more suitable word than 'bands' when you're only talking about a single person) record all their keyboard and percussion work at home and then play live with just a guitar and vocals with the recording accompanying them? My goodness!
