What I learnt from today is that Liverpool is not a pool.
Confused?
I shall explain.
So basically me and Chris were just hanging about in camden as we do, you know, chatting about stuff and drinking tea.
Wasn't really sure where this night was going. We ended up at the black heart pub. Just to take a piss. In the toilets I heard music coming from the upstairs.
'Hmmm sounds like keebo' I thought to myself as urine gushed from my penis.
I washed my hands and went upstairs. Low and behold it was keebo! ... 'thank you allah' I cried.
KEEBO
I saw Keebo @ lock tavern a while back. Keebo are one of those bands where you think OMG what the hell is going on here. Its just totally awesome.
5 girls. Playing instruments and ALL singing. Making beautiful noise. REALLY beautiful noise. Im convinced they are fairies who have come from the forest in order to save lost souls in the big bad city.
Seriously please check them out. I was confused at one point cos I couldnt work out whether the singer was standing or kneeling. Basically she's just so tiny and cute. I want to either a) put her in my pocket or b) have her for breakfast.
I bought there tape which includes there single native american. Its really cool. Initially when I put in the tape. the tape player jammed and stopped working and I was all like 'thanks ALOT keebo'
But now its fine and its sounds really great.

SEAWITCHES
Sea witches were next on.
They were cool. 3 pretty girls and one pretty boy from liverpool. Just plain awesome music. Off key eerie vocals from lead singer.
The musics kind of retro vintage 80s and i thought sounded a bit like the lost druggy phaze of the cure. Post punk? I guess.
Nice one seawitches. Thanks for showing me that liverpool is more than just Steven Gerrard and errr.. Jaime Carragher.

Finally the headline act!
BIRD
Also from the Liverpool. These guys were really impressive. Like kind of grungy dark epic beautiful stuff. Only caught the last two tunes but they impressed me muchos. Also on chatting to the whole liverpool gang, promoters, performers i found them to be very amicable chaps.

On seeing this gig I realise that the music scene is like flowers. Flowers are first seeds which have to get all there stuff together like nutrients sunlight etc in order to bloom. The variety of flowers come from cross pollinating and the mixing of different flowers in order to create new hybrids.
Its the same with music. These people have to get there stuff together learn how to sing, collaborate, experiment etc. Try different instruments. Make time to create there music. All these bands were 3 very beautiful and unique flowers (or fruit, it works with that too) that have bloomed (or come into fruition?) out of this messy world.
CONCLUSION : girls with guitars!
