A review of a gig what I went to tonight

Easyworld, York Fibbers
It was a good set tonight. Quite heavily weighted towards new songs, a lot of which seemed a lot more introspective than the older stuff. And a bit sadder and slower. Almost seems like Dav had a bad 2003? Lots of songs were conspicuous by their absence ("2nd amendment" in particular), but "Tonight" was both new and excellent. And slow and sad. Overall, I'm looking forward to the new album. Strange How I'd never noticed the snatch of Justin Trousersnake in the middle of "You and Me". Must. Listen. More. Carefully. To. Records.

You can never go far wrong with a glitterball.

Support was from X Is Loaded, who were not bad, but not particularly unique. Put me in mind of Hundred Reasons. Quite rocky. However, their rock 'n' roll credentials were put strongly in doubt when the lead singer was spotted at the bar during Easyworld's set ordering a bag of Maltesers.

Tonight in Fibbers, there were at least:
3 Actuaries;
1 Acturaial trainee.

So Easyworld have an Actuarial Rating (Statistically Exactimundo) of 3.5. This puts them in the lead in the 2004 AR(SE) table, but so far it is something of a one horse race. Can The Delays on Wednesday do better? Stay tuned...

My kitchen smells strongly of garlic.
