Last time at the Standard it was to see Spit Like This, and the headline band were a Kiss tribute act. Tonight almost ends before it has begun as the Victoria Line is suspended past Seven Sisters. I have little knowledge of bus routes in the area and TFL are recommending going to Liverpool Street to catch the overland. Fortunately Slummin Angels are headlining so there is time for the service to resume.
The Standard is quite a decent venue with stage and lights, and guiness at less than £3 per pint.On the negative side there seems to be a trainee lighting person who is practising on Slummin Angels. The first band are allowed plain (yellow) lights that light the band. Unfortunately the trainee lighting person seems to have no talent at all. This lighting reminds me of Space Invaders (an early cpmputer game played in pubs in the late 80s). As he doesn't know the bands songs his flashing of the lights is essentially random.The band are good anyway.
