Really Impressive set from Bleech. I'm feeling a bit tired and the lights aren't as good as the soundcheck (this picture is from the soundcheck).

These bands are featured in Issue 2 of ‘Fashion Style Music’ and tonight is a launch party for the issue. Apparently the magazine can be obtained under the counter somewhere in Camden. It is not available in Borders in Oxford Street where I tried to buy it. It’s difficult to see how they can afford to produce it if it’s so difficult to buy. Whatever their commercial credentials, they do seem to have some musical taste; they have chosen Ana Calvi and Bleech who both perform top sets to good audience reaction. The third band tonight are called ‘European Lust’. I thought the might be French, but research reveals them to be Spanish. Their best songs remind me of the Libertines. I’m not sure whether they are very good or very bad; I am sure they are not mediocre. Their Myspace doesn’t really help. They have one really good song but some others seem less definite one way or another. It’s very uncommon for me to be undecided (about a band), maybe that makes them special anyway. It’s been an excellent evening , the lights are slightly better than last time I was here, but broadly useless.
