Críticas

Fri 22 May – Maxïmo Park, Grammatics, Stricken City

The support acts Stricken City and Grammatics were good but nothing special. Stricken City's leading lady appeared quite drunk and was shaking a pineapple maraca rather violently which, while entertaining, wasn't the most spell binding performance ever. The Grammatics were substituted for the Noisettes and while I hadn't listened to either band before the gig, I was pleasantly suprised. I found the lady playing the (was it a cello?) a nice addition to what would otherwise be just another run of the mill indie band.
