woo, saw the sneaker pimps playing in islington last night - very nice part of london!
It was pretty cool, really tight, but liam (keyboards) kept walking off. Chris made everyone cheer him when he came back, and said "he wasn't getting it enough."
Other than that, it was pretty cool! Half-life was as good as always and they did a really dancey version of Spin Spin Sugar - got everyone moving (except the depressing goths at the front!)
They had a projector going, for visuals, too. For Bloodsports they had a video of a bull hitting a matadore in slow motion, it was pretty freaky! It went normally then in reverse, then zoomed in on his leg breaking.
the trains, there and back, behaved themselves too, which is always good!
My friends who i went with said that it wasnt their best performance ever, but i still thought it was pretty cool! Much better than their support - "Nemo" *chuckle*

The Sneaker Pimps are a really good band... wish they'd come to the states and play.
Do you know when their new albums coming out?

Waterbaby? noone's really sure if that's a collab or not!
Not sure when the new album's out... but apparently Portishead have recorded a new album already, but arent gonna release it for a while.
Chris (singer) sang some of their tracks off of the 1st album, he sounded really good and he still suited those songs :-)

Thats a good question, Who does the vocals for their older tracks when they play live? or is Kelli Dayton back with them?

Any reccommendations of stuff to check out by them?
Thanks!

The new Sneaker Pimps with the male singer kick The Kelli Dayton days ass. They are so much better now and Bloodsport is a masterpiece.

od_step_cloak - If you love 6 underground, its probably worth your while to get Becoming X (its on that album)..
I also have Splinter on vinyl, which I love as well..

"Not sure when the new album's out... but apparently Portishead have recorded a new album already, but arent gonna release it for a while. "
Not sure if they finished it, but they don't seem too busy at the moment. Adrian Utely (guitarist) has been off doing collaboration work... so perhaps they have finished it. Damn, I should of asked Michael Law last weekend :s
