The Blood Arm Come to Town

I went to see The Blood Arm last at the carling academy on the off chance the band from LA had something to offer a (small) liverpool crowd. The gig had it all.

The music (said like they introduce clips in the F Word) - A hot chick on the keyboard and a sound that sounded like a mix of Muse and the song the White Stripes did about the doorbell. I really like the way they sound. I would say they had influences of The Jam as well but they didn't and i would only say it to sound like the music writers in The Independent and i am not that well versed in music so make such comments.

The crowd - A great mix of beardy fellas and young students. I hadn't shaved so i fell in between the two. They was bouncing inflated condoms, drunks rushing the stage, the band member crowd surfing with a four deep crowd (and then falling on the floor) and drunk young girls. Surely someone should be making sure kids cant buy alcohol?

The guy who introduces stuff - Made commens about the russian spy which was probaby too soon. But he was funny so all is forgiven.

Oh... and there were girls with pom poms. That was wierd.

I love gigs. Paulo Nutin is on this Wednesday (tomorrow). What should i expect. More of the same?
