A long day including a gig in London (and photos)
Got to work nice and early and it wasn't too bad today, either.
Off to the station, train to KingsX, early dinner at Tokyo Diner (yummy ton katsu). Wandered over to the Marquee at 7:30 but it wasn't open yet because they were still soundchecking (somebody got delayed in traffic). There was some confusion because the bloke at the door couldn't find my name on the guest list (which was sorted by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
djpsyche, though) and I eventually got in.
The venue was tiny, more wide than long, had a very low stage and two(!) bins for lighting. Great, I thought, this is going to be fun for taking photos.
Chatted tosimonsatori for a bit while the rest of the band were setting up and soundchecking and then they started.
It was a good set and sounded good, too.toripink is a fantastic addition to the band, all they need now is a drummer and I think they could really take off. Well done, guys!
Next up was Eva O, who I hadn't heard of before and turned out to be quite fun death rock type stuff but a bit boring after a while. Very cheesy was the thing with the bloody apples (I would have a great shot of her biting into one with stuff oozing all over her but it's utterly out of focus *cries*). Bloody goths. *shakes head*.
Due to the delay, I had to leave before The Last Dance got on stage so I could catch the 11:15 train (I really didn't fancy the 0:06 and getting home at 1:30)
As always, I can't just go to bed after a gig because everything's buzzing, so here's a photo preview:

Either the lights weren't that bad after all or I'm getting better at this thing, it's got to be one of the two.
