The Sounds LIVE!

There were two types of people at this gig (I don't mean boys and girls): Trendies and Emo's. Trendies to the back, Emo's to the front. Me, Albert and Disco were, of course, kickin' it with the Emo kids. Quite literally actually, this underage lesbian couple in front of us were really 'sad' and kept waving their sweaty bingo wings in Albert's face so he kicked them. They seemed to like it so he stopped.

The Sounds - Song With A Mission



According to Albertpedia, The Sounds were discovered by Sven Goran Eriksson's assistant Tord Grip. They were busking outside Ikea moaning about the minimum wage and the Poll Tax. The rest is history.

The Sounds - Queen Of Apology (Fall Out Boy Mix)



Back to the gig. It was fantastic. Their music is good but not amazing. However, the performance was atsonishing. Maja Ivarsson is an incredible lady, she was a beast in the best possible way. She spat on stage in true 'Roy of The Rovers' fashion and staged dived twice. The first time she leapt into the crowd she groped Albert. Maybe it was the other way round; I couldn't tell from the yelp.

The Sounds - Painted By Numbers



So we give The Sounds 9.8 out of 11.2.

The Sounds - Hurt You

The only downside was the venue, the Carling Academy in Angel is horsesh!t. Its deafeningly loud and far too dark.



The Sounds - Night After Night

FYI The Islington Carling Academy stewards administer the most vigorous frisk that you will ever experience. Some people might like that, Albert went back 8 times. They failed to find his machete, suckers.
