the hot hot maccabees
i need to warn you early, there maybe some comments in this entry that some people find hard to take - nah find offensive. so please be warned.
upon entering the astoria the beetroot red faced indie kids coming out of the main room gave an excellent indication of the sauna like temps that were awaiting us for the gig. and my god - it was stupidly hot inside.
insert obvious and horrible link - but the temps were not as hot as the band (sorry, this is the first offensive comment - but there is more). no seriously the band nailed it. their new tracks live destroying the more then up for it london crowd.
the most amazing and... well endearing part of the gig was the reaction of the lads at having made it to play in front of a sold out astoria (going to get a little offensive again).
the whole band were just so charming and sweet, and genuinely amazed to be playing at such a historic venue. a summer of success awaits the maccabees.
