So there was an unbeliveable amount of buzz around this years awards. I'm unsure if I noticed it all due to the fact I was attending this one, or if it's owed to genuine excitement being picked up by media from the likes of twitter and it's accompanying networks.
White Lies kicked off what was to be an epic NME week for me. This band are totally what i'm about..massive anthems, they really hit the nail on the head and get the audience (including slebs) in to the swing of things.
Comedian Mark Watson was the master of ceremonies this year and did a good enough job. From where i was standing, he kept the crowd focused as much as possible. tricky job for a bit of an unknown.
Further performances from Elbow, genius and teddy bear Guy Garvey looked like he had a good time. Franz ferdinand and la roux cover Blondie, Call me. Like sprinkles of sugar on my ears and eyes, very sweet indeed. Friendly Fires put on a floor stopping performance with brazillians, dancers not trims, and stealing a lot of the glory. that is apart from the unforgetable, historical, unbelievable, heart stopping, performance from coxon and damon albarn.
You could feel the whole room gulping and trying to find their missing heart beats when these fine princes were on stage. incredible.
Other fantastic performances from Glasvegas with Florence covering Suspicious minds.
Of course the performance of the night went to God like Geniuses, The Cure. Another world stoping performance, i love this band. they are so bloody wonderfully pretty. looking the part with the make up, voice and attire, Robert and the clang blew the place away.
A truly unforgetable night. An amazing set of an enchanted forest, free beer, one-off ridiculously good performances, lots of awards going to the well deserved winners. Oasis best band, Peter best male, MGMT best newbies...all spot on in my eyes. and it's not often I agree with the outcomes, but this year NME have done themselves proud.
A truly inspiring night, didn't want it to end. here's to next year and our own table.
key spotted slebs: sarah harding, ginger nicola, brandon flowers, the mighty boosh.
