"They called us again ! The fools! At that short notice! " Was one of the band's members reaction to their new very short notice indeed gig at Metro where they seem to be liked a lot. Good for them! Handy location next to tube and good food close by.
We had a little japanese dinner at Itsu (managed by a French Corsican man and owned by the same chain as Pret A Manger, Itsu is a very nice conveyor belt type restaurant, with very tasty and good quality raw fish and other dishes. )
IT wasn't very filling and I had to have a snack afterwards of course.
We arrived at Metro s just before the last before band were playing. Very enthousiastic Plakka's band members greeted us, and Bobby explained we may like the next band as they were quite heavy.
They were called Arkham Razor and were a 4 piece band, with indeed a lot of glitter as Plakka also told us. A ver interesting band, I would call them.
Their music was calm but smooth and strong, powerful with raw lyrics and beautiful riffs. They have a very good stage presence. And a strong following which went away with them as they left the stage.

Then Plakka came onstage, in a very good shape and state of mind, so it seemed, and started the set very well, except for a bit of keyboard trouble (dodgy lead?) . I still get surprised at their Disco song to see the drummer stand up, quit drumming , and coming to sing with the trumpet player.
They finished with Whispers and invited some people to come and sing along with them on stage.
It was a very good set and very enjoyable music, I am taking to them more everytime I see them.
Oh this blogs are getting more and more personnal!
Ah well. Plakka during "Disco song"

A we forgot to mention the lighting was crap. But it usually is, at Metro's.
