Following a race against time across London incorporating 4 x transport changes, 1 x moment of getting horribly lost, and 1 x moment arguing with the bouncer over being let into the over-crowded sauna-like room, I finally made it to Frightened Rabbit just in time to catch them singing The Modern Leper.
It was an odd gig in the sense that myself and my friend were the only two going crazy to the music. Everybody else was standing still. They were awe-inspiring live and were able to silence the room with an acoustic version of 'Poke.' But my best song of the whole set was definately the cutting anti-ode to casual sex, 'Keep yourself warm' in which Scott Hutchinson venomously spat into the mike: 'Can you see the look on your face?/ The flashing white light's been turned off/ You don't know know who's in your bed / You find love in a /won't find love in a hole/ It takes more than fucking someone to keep yourself warm.'
We also saw Camera Obscura...who were grand. I officially love Scotland!
