Simian Mobile Disco and Gold Panda

I finally managed to see Simain Mobile Disco last night at the itunes festival ater Alex and me turned up one day too early and queued up just to find out inside the venue that the gig we had tickets for was one day later. We both couldn't believe it as we had to print out tickets which both said the date very big on them haha.
Well but last night was finally the right date then :) We turned up quite early and even managed to see the support which was Gold Panda. We didn't really enjoy it as it was pretty boring. I mean there was just one guy on stage with his mac book wearing a panda hat and the music he made sounded like background music for a film.
Simian Mobile Disco were amazing. It's weird because I have never really been into any other music than indie but I start enjoying house music too. Alex laughed at me last night because of that :S I loved the light show they had and loads of people were dancing crazily. Some of them actually made me laugh but better dancing at gigs than standing around and taking one after the other picture blocking the view with their cameras like other people do.

Graham Coxon zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I thought I was lucky yesterday when I got the email that I won tickets to see Graham Coxon playing at the itunes festival. I entered the Fearne Cotton competition on wednesday. They were giving away 5 pairs of tickets, somehow I knew I would win because I wasn't too bothered to go to the gig...and so I did. I tried to win tickets to se Kasabian on the same day playing for xfm but seems I always win tickets for gigs I'm not really bothered about haha
Well Alex and me went down there quite late. The support band was even okay although I have never heard of Esser before. The venue was packed if I compare it with the last time when we went to see Jack Penate there. When Graham Coxon started playing I started to bore myself...Alex and me tried to give him a chance and still stayed for about almost an hour but it seemed like nobody was really enjoying it and many people were leaving early. Alex told me that even people at the toilet were complaining about how boring it was and people kept on talking while he was playing...I almost fell asleep. It was probably the most boring gig I have ever been to.

On the way back home we wanted to go to Fogg's which is our favourite restaurant in Camden but it was closed. I was gutted. We then went to Burger King but they didn't even have what I usually get in Germany, not the crispy chicken burger nor the wedges :( and Alex didn't get his milkshake. Bastards! Oh well, at least it's weekend again!

Seems like as soon I will be back in Germany loads and loads of bands will be touring there. Kasabian, The Rifles and even Pete will be on tour! I don't know how I will manage to write my bachelor work with all these gigs going on...haha xxx

the weekend is over...

Kasabian was awesome :) I enjoyed myself so much. We were dancing and singing and at some point when I was jumping I spilt some of my drink over a moody girl in front of me and I said sorry but she kept on turning over and talking with her boyfriend,stupid bitch! I don't understand people who go to gigs just to stand there with one's arms folded and stare on the stage. These people should stay at home and buy a dvd of the gig or whatever...
Anyways we went home after and had "a few" drinks more which resulted in me not remembering half of the night and being ill the whole next day, seems like I never learn...



Yesterday I won tickets for the itunes festival to see Simian Mobile Disco. I won 2x2 tickets as I applied with 5 different email addresses for the competitions to make sure I win. I'm happy I won tickets to see SMD as Alex really likes them but don't you think it's funny that after I have never won nothing for years and years, I apply to win tickets for the itunes festival, mainly to see oasis and kasabian and then get 2 times the same tickets for something else???

I will go and meet up with one of my favourite friends, Steffi, today. She's in London for a couple of days and somehow we didn't manage to meet up in Germany so will meet up today. I have to go now to get my train xxx
