They were seriously mega last night.

It all started in the Hatchet, Bristol’s oldest pub for grub, a few ciders and large quantities of banter before heading across the yonder to the O2 Academy.

They gave us free sweets on the doors for no apparent reason! Awesome. And the guy at the ticket booth happily read the confirmation number scrawled across my wrist. Impressed.

The supporting act was ok, pretty catchy, and he had hair like a tame Beetlejuice, but the venue was sold out for one reason.

Eighteen speakers began to rumble as the cloth dropped to reveal that delicious shiny cross. Everyone went nuts. I lasted one song before needing to remove myself from the pit because I do, in fact, value my life.

The lights were glorious and complemented the music superbly with an all round fab atmosphere. In terms of the venue, to be honest, not a big fan of the O2 Academy. It lacks a certain charisma and intimacy that smaller venues nail , but it’s the biggest venue in Bristol so what you gonna do. It also took us an hour to get our coats. Boo.

The highlight? There was no bad song. Nothing. Everything was perfect. The best had to be D.A.N.C.E. Predictable but it is just my absolute fave.

Here’s a confession though…I might have substituted Diet Coke for Gaymers and Sambuca…
