World Party were, and I use the word were, great.
Sadly on the showing of last night they aren't anymore.
It's less of a World Party these days, more of a washed up pub singer down his local carping on about the ills of the world. The voice is just about there still, as are those wonderful songs - but now it's like watching Victor Meldrew lumbering his way through a bunch of songs he hates.
Maybe it was just a bad night, who knows.
What I do know was it was a complete waste of time.
Less long "The King is dead, long live the king"
More, just on the showing of last night "The King is dead......"
