WE ARE THE OCEAN plus STRAIGHT LINES & GIANTS
Nottingham Rescue Rooms
Our first gig of the year happened yesterday ... and I missed it. I'm gutted to say I was too ill to attend and so all I have to go on is the random grunts of 2 half deaf teenagers and the comments of my long suffering other half who isn't really into loud music.
Mind you my daughter did video most of the gig, so you can view her work here >>Aimee's Videography along with videos of other concerts we've been to.
What I can say for sure is that it was extremely loud, as you'd expect really. Aimee did stand at the front but safely at the side so no traumatic injury occurred, although all 3 of them came home deaf (so they made out!) The kids thought it was amazing ... or whatever the teenage equivalent descriptive is at the moment. My fella almost dropped his pint when Dan Brown jumped up on the bar right next to him ... clearly not following my alcohol-avoidance advice!
I was impressed that he realised he had seen We Are The Ocean before when they supported Madina Lake at Leeds Cockpit last April ... I missed that one too. I'm just glad that we have tickets to see them again next month at The SUGARMILL, Stoke although I am very disappointed at missing Straight Lines. If they'd care to attend the Download Festival I would be most grateful.
As for the venue, its very small but the sound is apparently very good. Aimee described it as 'alright' which is high praise indeed, trust me! We are not due to go there again but we are going to Rock City in March, which I have heard great things about.
That's my first, sadly limited, review done.
Our next gig is on Wednesday February 2nd, ANGELS & AIRWAVES at Manchester Academy ... can't wait!
Follow the Rock gig exploits of a short, fat, middle aged mother of 2 teenagers by reading my blog. I’ll be adding reviews, photos and videos after every gig we go to, as long as the kids show me how. Hopefully by writing everything down it will keep the memories alive for longer, before I succumb to the inevitable brain deterioration. I also hope it bridges a gap between you rock kids and your parents who, quite possibly, have never even heard of any of your favourite bands. Enjoy.
