Woohoo~~

went for my first live band pub performance in london last night! Went to the water rats at grays inn road where our friend performed with his band, after the fox! It was super cool. We arrived in time to listen to 3 sets by 3 diff bands. The first one was totally crazy, rock punker style. All the guys in the band had strange long blond hair which they kept swinging about as they rocked on their guitars. And they kept stripping off after each song. The lead vocalist wore 3 diff coloured pants which he kept stripping off after 1 or 2 songs. First red, then bright yellow then purple. And they had red and white face paint all over..one guitarist drew a huge red heart on his hairy chest which became smudged after a few songs. haha. The atmosphere was soooooo english and really cool. The 2nd band was my favourite..reminded me of those preppy high sch bands who croon about first love. haha. And lastly, our friend's band! after the fox!! its an acoustic band and they even have a violinist who was just awesome. They pulled the largest crowd. Had a really fun night. :) Kinda different from live bands in sg where ppl juz sit down on comfy couches, sip drinks and chill out. Here, there was nowhere to sit and chill. People were juz jumping and dancing all over the place. It was really mad and awesome. And the most starking difference was that all the songs the bands played were completely original! In sg, bands just perform songs by other singers/bands. But here, it was totally original and whacky. Dunno if they'll survive if they release albums and sell outside..haha but in a pub like that, it was just wicked fun.
