Went to see the Arctic Monkeys with my brother in Sheffield on Saturday at the Leadmill (this club that has been hostin legendary gigs for years...) which only hold about 900 people! we got there pretty early and so got to stand right at the front! which was great apart from the tall drunk 30 stone man stood next to us who was swayin dangerously and sweating profusly.... oh and the bitch stood in front of us who thought she was bloody royalty and deserves more space than everyone else and kept tryin to push everyone back with her ass! SO annoyin so i kept pushin her forward and 'accidently' elbowing' her haha!
So anyway the support acts kicked it off one band called Gas Club and another called The Little Flames.... Gas Club were ok the music was great shame we couldnt hear what the lead singer was sayin! lol! The Little Flames were great... the lead singer was a woman who had an amazin voice and the band put on a great performance.... check them out on http://www.myspace.com/littleflames.
When the Arctic Monkeys came on the crowd surges forward and beer starts sprayin everywhere! lol! i have never been to a gig like this before and people are just crazy! lol! we had a great view of them.... theyre so small n normal lookin! lol! after about 5 songs we moved further to the back where we could still see and had more space and no 30 stone man knockin us out every 5 seconds! they totally rocked Fake Tales of Sanfransisco but the highlights have to be The View From the Afternoon with Matt bein amazin on the drums and Certain Romance with the whole crowd swayin, clappin n singin all the way through...
I loved every minute of it! it was my brothers birthday so this was part of his pressie and he enjoyed it too so i'm glad he got to experience somethin he otherwise wouldnt have gone to.... we both came out exhausted and buzzin from the whole thing plus soaked in beer, sweat and other peoples sweat (gross!) so we headed straight back to the hotel for a shower...
all in all one of the best night of my life loved every minute!
