London Day 5

Day 5 was relatively mild compared to the others. Everyone slept in before making the hour long trip to Brixton to play The Windmill.

The temperature dropped about 20 degrees by the time we got off the tube and none of us were too prepared. The show went great and we met some amazing people. I found out that The Windmill was the very first venue Yeasayer played in London!

Needing to rest up for tomorrow’s Laissez Faire Club show we all headed back home relatively early. However, Jeremy and I did stay up until 4am arguing about music and drinking Jim Beam with the drummer from Hoodoo Scoundrels.

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.

RethinkPopMusic is crossing the pond…

Thanks to Jeremy Lloyd and Laissez Faire Club:

RethinkPopMusic will be taking The Vanguard and Ambassadors to London to play a slew of shows. Thanks to Virgin Atlantic Airlines for helping us out with the tickets and supporting independent musicians everywhere!
