The NME awards launch party was last night (26.11.08) and a mate had managed to win tickets. Expecting some kind of bash it was clear when I got there it was a competition winners thing- lots of kids and Enemy followers, not to brand fans but, well they can't be described anything but a touch chavvy.
We were there pretty earlier to soak up the erm, atmosphere. I just took it as an excuse to perv. summit to do aint it? Didn't last long though, nothing to look at. nice Chandeliers though.
NME editor, whatshisface, introduced the band "that write real anthems and we've been following them since day one" Good for you. They came out to a bit of a roar - took me suprise, was near the front so didnt' notice that many people in there. Still, to be honest The Enemy do have some good tracks. Very Jam and Paul Wellar-esque. I like. Good set list to get the crowd going, of course dedicating (my favourite) We'll Live and Die in these Towns, to Coventry- lucky for them i'm sure.
Still a pleasant evening bumping in to friends and sporting a new haircut. not bad. tucked up in bed by 11pm.
Oh, and the free can o' red stripe was a nice gesture. Reluctantly paid £4 for my a second beverage though...bastards, did they not know there's a credit crunch!
Set list:
Away From Here -40 Days And 40 Nights' -Pressure' -Technodanceaphobic' -Had Enough' -Aggro' -We'll Live And Die In These Towns' -This Song' -It's Not OK' -You're Not Alone'
