Simple Plan : Camden takeover : forhåndslytt : musikk
Some bands struggle to play two gigs in a day, let alone three. US Rockers, Simple Plan however, laughed in the face of Camden yesterday, when they played a duo of venues in North London. After an afternoon spent recovering from Australia Day celebrations, my head wasn’t ready for the onslaught ahead. Two Seatwave reviewers covered the lunchtime acoustic gig at the tiny Camden Barfly, and the marginally bigger Underworld gig at 3:30
pm. Hell, if I was tired… what state was the band in?
As the day progressed, the reports hitting my mobile phone were frenzied and positive. “You’re going to love the gig tonight – they were amazing this morning!”.
Anticipation wasn’t just rife in my corner of the train… the streets of Camden were heaving too. Some eager punters had been queuing outside the Electric Ballroom since 6am and others had trekked over Europe to be there.
The line that snaked its way up Camden High Road throbbed with an eclectic mix of fans. Girls in tutus, journos, pierced bits aplenty, dads escorting minors, empty vodka bottles and painfully fashionable boys rearranging their side swept locks. It was the liquorish allsorts of line-ups – each punter ready for the mother of all gigs.
