Oh boy, the horror-s!

I don't get it. Either 1) Faris was high, 2) it's a new thing not to wear ear pieces to hear yourself, or 3) they only do well in the recording studio. There was nothing wrong with the band sync-ing with each other, but there was definitely troubles in the vocals sync-ing with the band. Sophie made a comment that the performance was so disappointing that it ruined listening to the album as well (which is fab BTW).

I have only one other question, how tall exactly is Faris?

Odd how people rotate

I was invited to catch a performance by this band called The Red Verse who apparently as i'm researching, is made up of 3 different bands (Beulah, Every Move A Picture, The Reverse), one i've previously seen and as i recalled quite enjoyed! From what i understand, they just lost one member along the way. Their musical aptitude was spot on but their selection of sound for each song was distinctive enough not to flow smoothly from one to the other. Definitely some potential, as soon as they come together to belt out a more cohesive sound.

The main act was Youth Group who's claim to fame was a cover of Alphaville's- Live Forever. Now i love that song, diamond shaped tear in space and all, i can't say much about the pop remake, i didn't hang around long to give it a chance.
