Didnt unfortunately hear much of Dry the River as was outside, but thought Ramona were very good yes.
Never been to the Roundhouse before, thought was a great venu. We was standing relatively to the back, but still had great view!

Ramona -a Brittany Murphy lookalike with rocking tunes and a blistering band, great.

Dry the River - a Christian rock band? Ranged from Peter gabrie style to prog rock peculiarity with awesome group guitar crescendo song closures.

Manics - well, you know them. To the point honest punkish songs, work manlike tunes with cannoning guitar riffs and very heartfelt humanitarian lyrics. The Ken Loaches of rock.

Trawling through some old clips on youtube, remembered this little gem from 1967.. Pink Floyd's Astronomy Domine and the hilarious TV interview that follows.. ("Why has it all got to be so loud?"). :D



Hopefully the tribute act will play some of the Syd Barrett era songs at the O2 next month!

Latest track from them, tell me that couldn't have been made by Blondie. I'm already waiting for their next London gig.

i liked the long guitar endings to their songs, but yes generally there bible belt bandwagon banter is a bit much.

the were arguably the best band on the night, and not just because their singer looked fit (in fact without the makeup she looks more like Sara Cox than Brit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kUc3HDj ... re=related but yep I'd keep an eye on them for their catchy tunes).

Listening to Rush's classic song "Subdivisions". When they played this live I was literally screaming the chorus with tears streaming down my eyes. I don't exactly know why, but it was my first concert, for one of my favourite bands, so I was very excited.

Listening to Capital FM and I feel like it is 3-4 months ago, they are still playing the same songs.
