Gigs of 2008

A few of us Play4me-sters went to see Band Of Horses last week. We all had a ball, and I have to admit to being a little chuffed that two different people told me separately that Ben Bridwell, the lead singer is like a male version of me (that comment was made because he says "WOO!" in exactly the same was as I do).

Band Of Horses played oodles of favourites off their albums Cease To Begin and Everything All The Time, plus we were treated to a few newies. Mr Bridewell was absolutely LOVELY to watch, he was so happy to be there! And even during the more melancholy numbers, he kept the little twinkle in his eye.

I kept watching the crowd as well, it was amazing watching a sea of people nodding their head in exactly the same way at exactly the same times.

Lauren (who works in marketing here at Play4me) said that Band Of Horses may well be her Gig Of 2008. Which has made me think about who the main contenders are for me...

Band of Horses are definitely up amongst the best gigs of the year so far. They're sitting pretty close to Ween and PJ Harvey on my list.
