Los Campesinos! and Adam Green supported, and I guess the drawback to writing this a couple of weeks later is that I can't remember a thing about Los Campesinos! Adam Green did stick in my mind though, he was hypnotic to watch and his music was great, not the most original but performed to perfection. He danced like Ian Curtis, but with way more cheeky confidence, and since seeing him I've started following his blog which is just as crazy, I especially love his little notes and poetry - such a great way to do a blog.
Anyway, the Cribs were brilliant, wired and maybe with a little extra gusto because they were playing in Marr's hometown. Ross Jarman reminded us of Dennis Wilson, a very simple unfussy drumming style that worked perfectly. Johnny Marr was way too cool, and fitted in so well that you almost forgot he was new to the band. Loved this gig, I think that some of their songs have that 'perfect' something about them, sort of a 'Teenage Kicks' feeling that you get once in a blue moon, especially 'Men's Needs'. It must be the honesty, there's not a drop of pretension in Ryan and Gary Jarman.
