The Animal Farm Club

22.9.2011

I've asked so many times Linda's memory card to transfer some pics, but I never get to the transfer point. I just look at the pictures and that's it. That's what I noticed so many times that when I search for the pictures on my laptop, they just aren't there. How stupid of me.

I'm just gonna put pics from Linda's post of the club evening, and if I see some interesting ones the next time I get the memory card, I'll just add them then.

Anyways The Animal Farm Club had four of our bands playing during the evening at the Zigfrid von Underbelly of Hoxton, simply the Underbelly.

The first band to play was The Do Or Dies, which many call The Doordies.

Then came The Manic Shine

The third act of the evening was something me and Linda were waiting for. iremembertapes. The first thing we had to do on our first working day was to listen to these guys. And they've pretty much been on repeat for the whole September in our heads. So no wonder we were desperate to see what kind of performers they were. We got to know what we're marketing, right?

The music was even better live, and the singer Tom had awesome moves, which reminded me of my friend Janne. (Those who have seen Janne dance, you know what I mean).

Last but not least- Rocketeer.

Unfortunately I didn't see them, since I got stuck at the ticket sales, but hearing the music and crowd going crazy tells me that I have to go see them, when I have the chance.

It was a fun night, thanks so much Eme and David for coming there, really appreciate it. Great music and great staff. X

Ps. Judit, my f(l)at mate in Holland finally booked her flight here for December. So excited! And she's going to bring Spanish ham yeiiiii!

After work we headed with our Indian take away to Linda's place. FINALLY FINALLY! I mean the Indian, not Linda's place. Eventhough she lives in a really cool place just 1min away from Thames with 3 bankers and their prostitutes..

When my mouth was burned enough, we met up with our collegues in Camden for a showcase. First time in Camden for me, which is a perfect bohemian drug cave with lekker (dutch for delicious) street food, which isn't recommended to eat. Pff like we'd listen to that.

Anyways here's how Musicweek.com describes the event:

"Breakout's monthly showcase for new and breaking acts staged by Music Week in conjunction with All Night Long Promotions, throws a spotlight on newly-signed acts - those creating a buzz in A&R circles. Breakout gives the music industry and the public a first glance of up-and-coming talent.

The most interesting act of the evening was definitely Alex Winston. The only act who made me jump. She works with the same producer who's worked with Jessie J and Mumford&Sons. Actually her live performance was a bit Mumfordish music wise. And the drummer's gum-chewing  reminded us of Finnish ice-hockey players.

Funniest thing was that when Linda tried to take photos, there was always this photographer in front of her. And when she asked me to swap places, the guy just jumped in front of her again, and sticked his butt so much back to keep Linda further away. Lol.

Remember the post of Anna Calvi's latest video, and how I wanted to write about it straight after work, but never had the chance until next day after work? Well Jolien, sorry to disappoint you, I just wasn't able to get home anymore that time, so I had to stay over at Linda's place. Nothing more exciting than that :P

Linda was crazy though when we had to run across the street to catch our bus, and she didn't event look if cars were coming. I just had to yell from behind "Look right, look left!"- I guess I'm getting used to already how the cars go here. Not.
