Finbrai (think thats what they were called) clashed with our 'pub time' so have no idea what they were like.
King Adora were actually on stage 5 minutes EARLY! Complete with new haircuts. Maxi seems to have invested in a pair of straightners, Dan's chopped most of his spikes off and is now sporting a mohican, while Robbie and Martyn seemed to have just opted for a trim!
While they got straight into the first song, Bionic, we popped our party poppers, shouted 'Nelstaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa' (in out sad little way!) everytime there was a pause in the music and annoyed the people infront of us by waving our arms around too much, but it’s a gig, what were we supposed to do with them? They played most of their singles; Smoulder, Suffocate, The Law, Big isn't Beautiful aswell as Scream and Shout and a few new songs including the Chaser. Maxi sang 'I Vibrate You', while pointing to us, (honeslty, he really did, he obviously appreciated our party poppers!!) then he moved closer to the crowd so we took the opportunity to have a quick grope!
There didn't appear to be many typical King Adora fans there tonight. Girls were actually wearing more make-up than the boys, (not a common sight at a KA gig!) and there was a serious lack of people with feather boas, fishnets, tiaras, and generally anthing of the pink, fluffy and sparkly variety (yet another unusual sight), and as for the mosh-pit, well, what mosh-pit?
According to a girl we were talking to in the toilets they were on stage for 28 minutes, (that’s 8 minutes longer than usual then) but everyone was still complaining that it was too short and a few people even thought they may have 'done a Britney' and just gone to get changed before continuing the set. Obviously they hadn't been to many KA gigs!
They hadn't been off the stage more than 30 seconds when a big crowd started to form at the bottom of the stairs waiting for them to come down. Maxi was the first, but only stayed around for about 2 minutes then disappeared off again. Martyn appeared next but only hung around for a few seconds. Dan and Robbie were the only ones to hang around for longer to talk to the fans and have photos taken. Maxi just sat on the stairs and seemed to ignore the fact that people wanted to talk to him, but i guess thats what fame does to you.
Rocking or Shocking?
Rocking. 5/5. They make us want to Scream and Shout!.
