Reverend And The Makers, Roundhouse 26.2.08
So the Reverend and the third and final NME award show I attended. Not really knowing what to expect I quite enjoyed this. A lot of the songs sound a bit Stone Roses and 'Heavyweight Champion Of The World' was a highlight. The Reverend was wearing a dodgy jumper and did have a tasty female percussionist in his band wearing a skimpy dress. There was a strange encore with the Reverend saying he would play more outside and leaping into the crowd, leading a procession of people into the streets. Cars were trampled on to get a view of him danicng moronically in front of a building site. As it was a capella you couldn't really here him, so we left them to it in order to get a tube home.
Prior to the gig, we had a couple of pints, the first in the Good Mixer, which was empty, and losing some of it's Britpop history. The Lock Tavern was next, a pub formerly owned by DJ Sarah Cox. Here we frequented the very nice roof terrace and admired some of the attractive clientiele. We also had a quick look at the damage caused by the recent fire of Camden which gutted the highly annoying, over-rated and supposedley trendy Hawley Arms.
