I went to see Kaiser Chiefs last night. I know. You try to appear all alternative and then you go and do something like that. Oh well. I like Kaiser Chiefs. Five lads with guitars. Shocking.
But I had a pretty good time, despite them being the most average band I like. The crowd was the biggest I've seen so far, and everyone was squashed like sardines in a can. I was about three people from the front, sadly stood next to two Irish girls who were blind drunk and I ended up holding them up until Mystery Jets came on, at which point I gave them a shove and never saw them again. I really enjoyed their set, though I have to say I miss Henry. They played a new song which made me really excited about their new material called "Hideaway".
With the Kaiser Chiefs being so big it was really great seeing everyone yelling the lyrics in way of the stage and everyone bouncing about. I've been to too many gigs where the most movement was people shuffling around and maybe mumbling the lyrics to the most well-known song. So yeah, that was pretty cool to be in that kind of atmosphere. And I didn't get kicked in the head! Oh what fun.
