Fresh Legs @ Lennons, Southampton
In my awards for 2007 I chose Fresh Legs for the "Best Band I saw but didn't photograph" award. I recently listened to them on myspace after seeing them on the same bill as Little Fish in Southampton. I have found their songs to be very catchy and thought it would be fun to try and capture their manic performance. Apart from a rather foggy drive, the evening turned out splendidly. Lennons is the sort of sweaty 'dive', so sadly lacking in London these days. There were 4 bands on and I arrived during the first. I didn't take any pics as I was enjoying a quick drink, and it wasn't easy to get to the front.
I did take a few of "Official Secrets Act" who I also saw in London at the Trepan Records show last week. I enjoyed their show and will check out their myspace.
Fresh Legs don't seem entirely relaxed. I think they have some issues with the sound (the drummer can't hear anything in his monitor). I'm not sure whether Ella may have been unwell, she grimaced alot, but she also flayed around like a dervish.
[they have since 'apologised' for having had too much to drink]
I thought the show well worth the trip, and the good old fashioned lights have made for some exciting pics.
