I get tongue tied
"THERE'S GOING TO BE NO FUCKING AROUND LONDON" - Kele, quote of the night.
I could've given you everything you wanted..
These are the only videos I could find that had been filmed by people on the night!
So yeah, you get the gist of it, right?
Basically I saw Kele on Friday at the Electric Ballroom with sister of mine and Sparish.
The venue itself is amazing! When I'm 'of the age' I am so going to go there 'clubbing', it's incredible! I think it's because the venue is in the heart of Camden and is ridiculously punky/rocky/dark/dingy etc. There's pictures of Mick Jagger and the gang all over the shop, so you could say it's my sort of scene.
So the actual gig itself exceeded my expectations ten fold. Summer Camp rolled up to support which was a pleasant surprise because me and sister of mine had previously seen them at Camp Bestival. Their music is very very very pop orientated with a girl and a guy tapping constantly on their synth boards (musical instruments ((if that's what you can call them)) which I usually detest).
Then came on the main act, Kele. He's ability to get the crowd pogoing and dancing is amazing. I love him. Don't get me wrong, Bloc party are better and the songs that he intergrated into his set list from his predeccsor band went down a lot better, however, his solo stuff is flawless live. Absolutely awesome!
SHALLOWNESS TIME!
It's that time again ladies & gentleman, brace yourselves. But yes, oh yes, I GRABBED KELE MULTIPLE TIMES THAT NIGHT. I even stroked his stubble, which I am quite proud of. I could've stolen his hat, but then I thought that would of been mean, Kele's way to cool to have his hat taken away. In summary, no sexual innuendos intended: why are all the good guys gay?
Food for thought:
“It was amazing when Jack White said it wasn’t his job to be critical about foreign policy because he was being paid to be an entertainer. I thought that was treacherous because it’s complicit with the capitalist society... Selling more records is the only thing that’s important to him, not provoking debate.” - Kele on Jack White.
I can remember when this first came out. At the time I was pissed off because he'd offended Mr.White, plus I was a less intelligent thirteen year old. But now I read it and think, too true Kele, too true.
