The sun was shining for Lucky Soul’s rooftop gig at the last.fm offices, and with the help of some mulled wine and mince pies, it all went pretty well. New bass player Russell fitted in as if he’d been with us all his life, and managed to keep his gloves off long enough to play three songs: Ain’t Never Been Cool, Lips are Unhappy and Get Outta Town!. We even managed to stop Andrew from making a reference to The Beatles and their rooftop gig.

Apparently Channel 4 were filming it all as part of last.fm’s xmaschartattack campaign, so keep an eye out for LS on TV.

As for the other acts in the campaign, I liked what I heard of Broadcast 2000 – like an East London Jeff Buckley with a ramshackle rhythm section and glockenspiel. Definitely worth investigating them further. Neon Plastix couldn’t make it, though.

Ali, Ivor, and I have all gone back to work, leaving the others to pack up the gear and finish off the mulled wine.

Fingers crossed for the result…
