The atmosphere in the place
was electric when the bands were on, it may have been packed
out but everyone was having a goodtime, the crowd behaved
perfectly, it was cool to watch, how they tolerated the heat I
will never know, I had to keep popping out for oxygen, it was
so hot just sittting down doing nothing, being upfront and
bouncing must have a nightmare.
Porcelain Roach made
their way onstage, they were well received by the crowd, the
people went crazy for them and in response to that Porcelain
Roach performed a full set, Nick pushing himself when others
could have turned back and quit.
It only got better, the
place seemed to swell even more when Miocene made their way
onstage, I was bit edgy since there was no barrier between the
band and crowd but the crowd again behaved perfectly, no
surges forward at all, the tightly packed room moved in time
with the music singing along.
Graham made the most of
the space he had, moving about as much as he could with that
look on his face, the look he gets when hes into the music and
enjoying it, Alex as well was enjoying it, he may have been
tucked away on the other side of the stage opposite me but he
was rocking out as was Leo tucked behind his drum kit,
pounding away pumping the blood around the bodies in the room.
I was perched on a
speaker attempting to take photos, Ben in front of me singing
away through his beautiful retro microphone, his voice
combined with the music taking me away to a beautiful place, a
place you would never want to leave, sounds cheesy and cliched
dont it but its true.
Despite cries for
Rivets from Porcelain Roach, Fits Like That was
going to be the final song tonight, past experience has taught
me not to be upfront unless I want bruises so I shuffled to
back to the saftey of the merch stall as the crowd for the
last time tonight fed off the energy radiated by the four men
onstage.
Tonight had been a great
night and the crowd applauded and cheered as they made their
offstage and outside for fresh air.
