The Black Keys (again...)

Here are some of the pictures from The Black Keys! The ones of the band are kinda crap, but oh well, it's my little piece of amazingness...

Yes, I got a little bit excited

The Black Keys live

As I mentioned in the previous post, The Black Keys one of my favourite bands. Understatement: they're my favourite band of all time. And on 12/12/12, I was lucky enough to go and see them live at the O2 arena in North Greenwich. OH my god, you have no idea how excited I was, I almost spontaneously combusted at several points during the weeks leading up to it...!

To start off, as a taster to the amazing night ahead of us, The Maccabees opened with a fantastic set, including Love You Better, Pelican, Feel To Follow and Can You Give It. Aaaaaaaah, SO GOOD!!

Then they went off, and we waited half an hour for The Black Keys to come on, although it only felt like 5 minutes to me (the adrenaline slightly got the better of me from 7:00 onwards...) And then they came on, and I nearly cried, I was so happy. They opened with Howlin' For You, from their 2010 album Brothers. It only got better from there! They included some oldies (Thickfreakness and Strange Times) as well as the majority of El Camino. So far, so incredible.

They "finished" with Lonely Boy, which was just electric. Then, when they came back on for the encore, a giant glittery disco ball came down from the ceiling and they played Everlasting Light... Just watch this and you'll see what I mean.

Altogether it was an incredible evening. I've become a complete concert addict now, and will angle to see anyone and everyone I possibly can! I'll post some pictures when I've had them developed, so godspeed, folks!

Introductions

Well, hello there! My name is Jemima and yes, I am a self-confessed musicophile. I adore music.

It's the typical thing of my dad getting me into all of the music he likes. At the age of 11, having been reared on a healthy musical diet of AC/DC, Led Zeppelin and School of Rock, I was a complete rock chick, so needless to say, I stood out amongst the pop lovers of my generation. I got told at a very early age that if I so much as brought a pop CD near the house it would be chucked out of the window and stamped on very, very violently...

So, my favourite artists? The Black Keys, Laura Marling, David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Noah and The Whale, the list goes on. And on. And on...!

Right, so the introductions are over and done with, awkward first post is at an end, and I can get on with listening to some music. All hunky dory! See ya next time, folks!
