A night promoted by 'She Bop' ; they generally have bands I know. Last month I had every intention of going to the show even though I didn't know the bands, but having a little time to kill in Camden, I ended up spending the evening in the Dublin Castle instead.
Tonight it's good to see the Johnson again; and shockingly Somnambulist is here. I haven't seen him for over a year. Independently we are both friends of the Johnsons and Smatka. It's fun to catch up and and he has some friends with him whose names I have already forgotten even though I saw them written down when they bowled. I think in fact that they all began with C and one might have been called Charlotte. One, who wasn't called Charlotte, was visiting from Australia.
The first band on were called Death of the Elephant. Their lead singer announced that she had a cold and that when she blew her nose blood came out. I thought it wise to shoot in Black and White as I am squeemish.
The Johns haven't played for a while as Spoon the bassist has had a broken finger. Pussycat Johnson assures me that she isn't sober, so we are certain of a lively show. Everything finishes in good time and night buses are avoided tonight.
