The band are called, 'The Artful Vandelays'. When I asked what they sound like, I got 'loud' from Bev and Keving himself didn't divulge too much information on them. All he said was that they have a similar sound to the Muse. I was sort of excited to see them, the Muse aren't my cup of tea but I don't mind them, I could sit there, or stand and listen to them. We got some more beers, alcohol had been building in my system throughout the course of the day. The bar was really scuzzy but looked like the perfect place for a band to perform. They came on, played their set. I really didn't expect that sort of sound from them, they were quite loud. The drummer was all over the place, not musically but in his performance, occasionally standing, flipping his sticks in the air, punching his fists into the air, all sorts. Kevin remained relatively active for the duration, some times rocking back and forth and having a little wonder. The Guitarist was pretty much still the whole time, I don't even think his feet moved from the spot they were on. The singer was the strangest, his speaking voice was completely different to that of his singing voice. He had a very powerful voice that filled the room and got right into your ears. It was not what I was expecting at all. I had heard some days before, a way that somebody had described something, it was a double negative and made no sense but sounded funny. The kind of quote that will stick with me the rest of my life. It is a good way to describe the band. 'If you went there expecting the band to be shit, you would be very disappointed!' after the band Jen, Mike and myself went back to get some sleep.
