these past few days have been extremely eventful! so many fun times to remember. Let's start with thursday!
Firstly my compact flash card was buggered so I went into town with my boyfriend to get a new one, boy what a fuss that was! Trying to find one that wasn’t 80 quid! When we got to the venue my camera decided that it had no battery left! So I had to run around trying to find someone with the same charger! Finally got back to the venue in time for sound check. After sound check I went to the pub with the crew and my boyfriend for a cheeky pint, we had a good laugh playing deal or no deal and taking the piss out of dom! We got back to the venue and I had a quick 5 mins to say hello to some friends before rushing off to the dock ready to photograph lights go blue (awesomely nice guys!). their music isn’t too bad either actually, bit poppy for me but I deffo had a little dance to them whilst I took some photos.
After lights go blue had finished I went and sat with amy and jack, and had a little bitch about a friend of ours ex girlfriend. And jack told me I’m a 9/10 whoop whoop! Don Broco were up next, the singer moved so bloody fast at first it was hard to get a still photo of him, but after the first song I figured out his routine of movement and managed to get some good photos. I really enjoyed their set, very different music to what I would normally listen to. Plus their singer had some proper guns on him!
After Don Broco came the legends that are enter shikari, as I was waiting in the dock to photograph this smoke machine went off in front of me covering all the photographers and myself in smoke so no one could see us, was pretty funny! Photographing enter shikari’s set was so insane! At one point one of the bouncers lifted me up to avoid a crowd surfer, and I completely shit myself cos I had no idea what was going on! I also ended up with a crowd surfer on my head at one point! After I finished photographing I stood at the side of the stage and watched the rest of their set. Those boys are insane, they were running along the bars at the side of the crowd and jumping into the crowd. One girl fainted in the pit, she fell down like a sack of shit! At the end of the show once we got rid of the crowd and the venue was all packed up, I sat around chilling with the bands and I got chatting to one of the merch boys, who was insanely drunk! I ended up in a group photo with enter shikari, Don Broco and lights go blue which was quite cool.
FRIDAY
On Friday me and my boyfriend travelled to Wolvohampton to see the blackout. The venue was really weird, we had to go to a pub to collect our guestlist passes which was quite strange. Once we were inside the gig we bumped into snoz and got chatting about the events that happened on the night of my birthday, and just had a quick catch up. The first band were called the urgency, they were ok, but I don’t think I would listen to them all the time! During Hollywood undead my boyfriend spotted gavin so we went and said hello, but as we were walking to gav I noticed a guy wearing a mask looking at me as I walked past, and I was sure it was sean, but the mask really freaked me out so I carried on walking with my boy. I later found out that it was sean! I am so good at spotting people! Hollywood undead are the weirdest band I think I’ve ever witnessed in my life! I really didn’t expect a bunch of masked guys to start rapping on stage. I genuinely thought they were gonna be a bunch of slipknot wannabe’s! boy was I mistaken! Silverstein were up next! I remember being really into their music in my earlier emo days when I was 16. Their set was pretty awesome! They even played an old favourite of mine.
Lastly the blackout came on stage and opened up with shut the fuck upper cut (one of my favourites) in superb fashion and then went straight into spread legs not lies which is equally as awesome! I danced like a complete prat during their set, and I jumped with too much force during save ourselves that both soles on my shoes cracked open! Once the blackout had come off stage we went round to the back of the venue to wait around for them to come out. Whilst we were waiting, there were two guys stood next to us who OBVIOUSLY thought they were gods gift, who kept shouting things like “I’m a guitarist obv’s I’m cool” and “I work for the blackout that must mean I’m awesome!”. The blackouts crew guy shut them up tho! He replied “if you guys haven’t got any decent replies or can throw a good punch I suggest you shut the fuck up!”. I’ve never seen too hard knocks go so quiet in all my life. Sheer brilliance! Then we watched these two boys who looked like they were gonna self combust because reese and gav were infront of them! Haha! When sean came out me and my boyfriend went over and had a little chat, my boy got his photo taken with sean after years of never having his photo with him, and afterwards I had my photo taken with sean again. Except I look like a hamster in my photo because sean told me something dirty which made me laugh! A little while later a girl walked up to sean and asked “sean can I smell you?” which I found highly amusing, and had to hold back the urge not to laugh at her!
I really cannot remember anything else from those two days except that they were both possibly the funniest and most enjoyable days I have had in a while! Oh an that this is possibly the longest blog I have ever written!
