Friendly Fires Rule

Heya ChellShock Here.

Just this second came back from te Friendly Fires gig and wow. What can I say.

There were some strange acts that preceded the band. Like a just a drummer to a backing tune.
Quite odd.But none the less quite good.
A band called the Magistrates, Which the drums where good the Guitar was very good.

But unfortunately there there lyrics and there vocals were not something to be desired.
I just thought that the main singer just lacked any kind of emotion at all. Just very mono tonal. Which I agree sometimes work.

But in all there songs, they would have this massive build up and it would be at the peak of it and you are expecting it drop like crazy.
Your waiting there.. the anticipation is building. The peak is nearly at its full and you are ready to go nuts. You close you eyes thinking wow Yes this is it.
And than really what really happens is that it doesnt go nuts, it just falls down a peg. And you are left there confused and yearning with this need of fulfillment.

But than the main acts comes on. The claps the lights start flashing..Screams and cheers feel the air.

"hello We are Friendly Fires"

The antispation starts to build. Straight away they start playing and the crowd goes nuts!.

Everyone starts jumping up and down with the rhythm..

Everyones, hands up in Union.

The lights flicking on and off... quickly reminds me of childhood games of switching the lights off and on, whilst dancing.

Jump in the. POOL
jump im the. POOL!

Looking around everyone is in complete awe. waiting, clapping them on. egging them to play the next song.

Jumping up and down, No one seemed to care. Bodies crashing into each other.
All that mattered was the music.

Everyone Shouting along to the music .

I closed my eyes, took a deep breath. And than I heard it!

One day.... I promise.... I'll take you to paris.

Hands up, Everyone sway in time. And than it came he lights dimmed and than all of a sudden Like a shock to the brain. There was an explosion of light. Boom, confetti filled the air and cascaded through there air around me.

Everything seemed to go in slow motion as I stared up into the sky.

And than as quickly as it started.... it was over.

Here I lay just wanting more, Left in my memories for ever more.

Go see them you wont be dissapointed.

Still now I think and smile.

In just two words Fucking Amazing.
