The Streets

Amazingly, this gig wasn't sold out...although I must admit that I wasn't keen on paying £25 to go anyway. It's just as well that we managed to get a pair from eBay for £25...a true bargain, especially considering how good the gig was. The Mitchell Brothers opened, but without the video they used on the Ten Rounds tour, their set was quite boring. However, the second support - The Ordinary Boys - absolutely blew me away. They were superb. Truly brilliant. I'd heard of them, but not heard them, and now I've got their albums on repeat. As for The Streets, Mike Skinner was on top form (even though this meant he was completely bizarre). I wasn't expectign singalongs of "I Predict A Riot" or country back-catalogues, but we got these in amongst 90s dance-esque versiosn of some of his tracks. It was all incredibly bizarre but a fantastic night.
