Incubus at the Astoria

Hello everyone! How you doing. I haven't been on here for a long time.. sorry.. I have just been so busy at work! Metal Hammer is going OK, but we have to put 2 issues together before Christmas - which is pretty tight! The new issue of Hammer goes on sale next week, will make a post about all the details of that soon!

Anyways, I went to see Incubus at the Astoria in London last night. The lovely Mr Daniel Carter was there as well with some of his chums, as was my buddy Arya who drums in Skindred. He had come all the way up from Exeter with a friend to watch the show, so he was expecting something special.

Was it special? Hmm. Not really. Not in my eyes. The band are obviously great musicians, and very talented.. but they have been doing this for years, and you would expect nothing less. I was just disappointed that they didn't move about the stage very much.. and Brandon (singer) almost seemed shy!! The place was packed full of squealing girls (that's not to say that I don't think he's rather handsome).. but the place was filled with sqeaks anytime he even glanced up at the audience! Ha ha.
I left after about one hour.. once I had noticed that they weren't gonna play much of their older/jazzier stuff that I love so much. Anyways.. it was still fun :)
And from today begins the best run of gigs in a long time..
Friday: Bullet and As I Lay Dying in Cambridge
Saturday: Cancer Bats and Alexisonfire at Brixton
Sunday: Exit Ten and Sylosis and Outcryfire in High Wycombe
Monday: Slayer and Lamb Of God in Brixton
Wednesday: Unearth and Hatebreed!!

Comeeee onnn!!!!!!

See you there xx
