London Day 6

So they day finally came for the official Laissez Faire Club vs RethinkPopMusic showcase at The Legion.

The Vanguard kicked things off and despite the fact that Aaron could barely speak all day he was still able to play a terrific set… with a little help from his friends. Ambassadors took the stage next and had the crowd in hysterics despite the fact that Casey’s keyboard lost power half way through the last song of the set. Despite technical difficulties he handled it like a pro and the crowd was none the wiser.

My Tiger My Timing closed the night and then the real party began…

Jeremy was kind enough to invite the bands back to Chelsea for some after-hours fun, but didn’t exactly realize that there were thirty of us. So the entire entourage marched down the street and got onto the double-decker bus. We immediately commandeered the entire top floor and a jam session ensued.

After the INSANE jam session on the bus, which we have video evidence of, we headed to Jeremy’s. This is where things got weird… in the best way possible.

A little Eastern Europe Dance Party!

Gymnastics time?

I was confused

And then it was “chill” time

Or pass out time depending on the tolerance

London Day 4

After an insane night with the boys in Right Turn Left, we were all relieved that we didn’t have to play a show today. However, we did need to travel to Camden where The Vanguard and Ambassadors were asked to film episodes on Balcony TV.

The Vanguard played an amazing acoustic rendition of “Both Sides”

and Ambassadors played a version of “Keys” that may overshadow the original.

Performances should be online relatively soon!

After the taping we hung about Camden for a bit before heading to the White Heat party in SoHo.

We roll up to Madam JoJos 12 dudes deep and there is a line down the block. FUCK! Nevertheless, with a few “don’t you know who we are”s we miraculously go straight in and catch the end of Yacht’s performance… which was pretty much just like this:

The party itself was a good time thanks to the Absinthe and cheap Stella.

Oh, CobraSnake was there and we ended up on his website. Couple pics:

We play The Windmill in Brixton tomorrow… where Yeasayer played their first London gig and then the MASSIVE Laissez Faire Club show on Thursday at The Legion.
