NZ Music

Can't tell you how awesome it was to hear NZ Music again - but am gonna try : ) About a month ago, I found that Elemeno P were playing in London on April 5 from a tiny advert in an Antipodean magazine. Checking out their website I realised they were touring with Steriogram - score! and were also playing in Edinburgh the next night (I'd already booked to go up there for Easter) so went to see them in the Carling Academy, Islington on Thursday night with Tom and in the Liquid Rooms, Edinburgh on Friday night with Paul - what a groupie ^^;

London was awesome, pretty similar to one of their gigs back home, huge crowd and so many kiwi accents it wasnt funny! Heaps of people knew the words and it was great to jump around to some of the songs that defined my last summer in NZ. Deja Voodoo opened the evening so that was a great warm up to get everybody in the mood - good times! Tom enjoyed it even though he didnt know their music and I managed to grab a pic with Tyson which topped off an already pretty amazing night

Edinburgh, the next night was a much smaller crowd but it was great because it allowed me to get more pictures and the bands could be much more interactive - most notable point was Dave (lead singer of Elemeno P) climbing off the stage and everyone moshing together to "11:57" on the dance floor - good times! Also got to hear a bunch of new songs from Steriogram's new album "This is not the target market" realeased in Oct 06 so after I left NZ and Elemeno P's new one "SOS"

Because there werent so many people at the Edinburgh gig I managed to get pictures with pretty much all the band members! (just missed Steriogram's drummer Jared but thought it was a pretty good effort) And even hung out for a couple of pints at the Scottish pub next door with Tyson, Tim, Jake and Scotty before their bus had to leave to travel to Dublin for their gig on Sat night - awesome!
