Bat For Lashes, Anson Rooms Bristol 15.4.09
In between my trips to the O2 I ventured to Bristol for Bat For Lashes promoting their second album 'Two Suns'. The Anson Rooms is part of the University some way from Temple Meads station so this enabled a few pubs to be done. The Cornubia had Cheddar Valley Cider on draught which comes out the colour of the Dutch national football shirt. My cider drinking buddy somehow approved of this! Bank was more of a traditional pub with three types of Thatchers and we had something to eat in a Wetherspoons close to the venue.
At the Anson Rooms, the place where they play is a bit like a badminton court or gym area. It is an upstairs place where the entrance is to the right and a solid wall on the left meaning it can get a bit crowded and difficult to get to my favourite position! Still we got a resonable view fairly central. Jemima Khan was on good form, taking the mickey of a hiary bloke right at the front dancing all over the place and the songs from the first album went down a treat (sepcially show ender Karen). However, the new tracks obviously werent that familar with the crowd and fell a bit flat. Still an entertaining gig which lasted just over an hour.
