After being a fan since 2003 or so, I finally got to the infamous Black Box Recorder live. The general consenus seems that their gigs are pretty boring and that their music is better enjoyed at home. Second part might be true, but by no means are they boring. There was a fair amount of talk and jokes between songs, Sarah was brilliant in every way (but especially in the schoolmistress/dominatrix way), and did I really see His Misantropic Grumpiness Luke Haines -smile-? Setlist was great, two new songs were pretty good. Can't really say anything bad about it. But then I'm the biggest Black Box Recorder fanboy around, so yeah. Also, I had to make a 2-day trip to London just for this, so I would've been pretty mad if it had turned out to be a disappointment.

London, again! Now part of a proper London trip. Hadn't seen Client since 2004, and it was so good to see them again. They still kick ass, and after this I loved them more than ever. …
