Francesca managed to drag me out of the house last night for a gig at the Cat Club. Actually I was pleasantly surprised, the band she wanted to see, Purple Melon, was good! The first band, I can't say they impressed me as much. Their song Fat Kid pretty much sent me into a tizzy of giggles, and given how unbelievably small the Cat Club is, I'm pretty sure they could see me mocking them by the bar with Casey. Then again, it's entirely possibly I'm being a complete narcissist and that they in fact were not paying attention to the bitches by the bar. Despite the first band's total lack of talent, the second band, who I'll just refer to as Twinkle Butt (given the lead singers stars on his ass) actually were sorta fun...when they played covers...of songs I actually enjoyed. Seriously though, I was horrified by them upon first glance - the whole Marilyn Manson look? Really? Realllly? Finally those boy from Britain played and were fun, actually knew how to play their instruments (a rare find in LA) and managed to draw a small crowd, despite having only been in LA for a couple of weeks. I heard a little Doobie Brothers influence, crossed with from Zeppelin, Cream, Beatles, Queen and the Stones.
How about you judge them for yourselves... purplemelon.co.uk
