ok. flat out, it was the best day/night of my entire life. i met fightstar and had my picture taken with them all. i can not stress how much of a good mood that put me in. i am still giddy and excited now and imagine i will be for quite some time.
as for the actual gig. the venue, absoultely tiny. which made getting the barrier easy and made the gig feel so cosy and personal. both support bands were good. quite funny too. all forgotten had to pull out, as the excerts singer explained, because of some bad curry. i felt bad about not buying their cd's but i had to have the fightstar hoodie. actually had to have it.
when fightstar came on, the place practically exploded. while i think the setlist did lean a little too heavily on be human, i completely forgive them because its a great album to hear live. chemical blood and war machine were highlights for me and the ever wonderful palahuik's laughter ripped studio 24 appart.
i mantain that til the day i die, this will be remembered as one of the wierdest, smallest but ulitmately the best gig i have ever attended. fightstar, you have raised the bar for the rest of my gigs this year, i pretty much don't think the other bands will deliver.

Favourite moment: when alex sang 'stay here' and without leaning into the microphone, i could still hear him. and when the excerts singer ripped the scottish rugby team @
