Is there a supporting act? Right now the thing I wanna do is to go to bed, so I wouldn't mind if it finished early...

There were three support acts in London ...
I was at Dingwalls too, never having seen them before. I emailed a mate about it, which I'll just copy here:
"It was good but odd. I don't know how you imagined him, but I thought he would be thin and in his late 20s. He was portly and in his early 30s. There were lots of technical problems and so when he was talking to the crowd rather than singing this came across too much. Rather spoilt the mystique. When they got going this was less of a problem. He has a lovely voice and it kind of transforms him when he sings.
It actually worked really well live. There was him singing and playing guitar or bass (doing some of the bass bits that are electronic on the records), a keyboards/electronics/laptop guy and a drummer, who was doing lots of accents and hi-hat patterns and stuff, although the main beats were still electronic. But somehow the fact they were clearly a really good tight band in control of the material also detracted from the mystique. It was interesting, as you could see what was making each noise (this made me think of the New Order video to Perfect Kiss), but perhaps I wanted something more futuristic and seamless."
Bondo do Rolle WERE good!
I like Dingwalls, as well. But the crowd were a bit shit.

the crowd at junior boys gigs in ldn are always like that, it was just as bad at the luminaire (though i enjoyed that gig better - not on the verge of a cold, good venue, better sound, got drunk and headed to the front with a friend to rave to 'under the sun' at the end).
i'd totally imagined jeremy as a skinny wimpy indie boy, it was a bit like WOAH when i first saw him (portly, ginger, bearded, slightly ungainly, sweaty), but you're right, his voice does transform him.

they were fine last september. played songs from all their albums. i don't remember that much, but if you're a fan they're definitely worth seeing.
