How was the English Beat?
kosmo, weren't you at the Sharon Jones NYE show with Fitz and his posse opening? They were pretty terrible then, I can't imagine them being good now.Quote from: kosmo vinyl on November 14, 2011, 08:35:54 amI'd love to take credit for the music last night, but alas they had their own DJ... who took it in slightly different direction then I would have.Show wasn't as good as it could have been, seemed like the band has a lot of filler or a 90min set much of it ballady. They seemed stuck in first gear most of the night, but I suspect they have a killer festival set an it's possible they have been out several months touring the same record and are probably getting tired, his voice seemed a bit rough early on. Fitz strikes me as being a bit like Robbie Williams little brother or an ex-boy band member, clearly a lead singer with more than a few moves. Band IMHO needs a guitarist and full horn section to really come alive.

Bombino tonight.
Pretty sure I'm the only person here who likes Tori Amos, but the show last night was one of her best ever. And the meet and greet was fantastic. I think she was always meant to play with a string quartet.
