go art brut! go!

I saw Art Brut last night and they totally blew me away.
Some of the highlights:
- After the lyric “Stay off the crack” we were told to stay away from Pete Doherty because “he’s a bad man”.
- The bass amp caught on fire during the third song.
- Eddie led a Q&A session for 5 minutes while the smoke cleared.
- Eddie went out in to the audience for “Modern Art” walking around the Lee's Palace screaming “Modern art makes me want to rock out” without a mic.
- Everyone who attended has to form a band. Or Eddie will come back and be very disappointed in us.

- The band look like they're having incredible amounts of fun onstage and their enthousiasm is contagious.
- They're all very lovely people.
- At the end of the night I was coerced into having a picture of me and Eddie Argos and Ian from the band taken.
Anyway, the moral of the story is that Art Brut are fucking brilliant. If you have the chance, go see them.

Tonight’s the Arctic Monkeys show (so if you're going and you see me there say hello) and for those of you not going I’ll make sure you hear all about it tomorrow.
