(acoustic)

I could go on for ages, but I have to wake up in 3 hours and a half, and I'm still packing. Do NOT sell your ticket!! Go to the show, I'm sure you'll love it!! Which show are you talking about, btw?

 

Waahh, I forgot all about this thread! I'm going tomorrow -- well, technically today It's in Perth - Australia :bleh:

 

*watches youtubes* They are pretty good, huh? I do like them. And I do know all the songs from the first album, but not the second I should get the second one, hmm.

Oh sorry! I meant to double post my report right when I did it but then I got distracted by something or other and then I completely forgot about it. So anyway, this is from the Aussie thread, where I report everything I do by default

 

 

Bianca's Fantastic Fratellis Report

 

I brought my camera this time, and I am a photo whore soo ... I have a lot of photos.

*attempts to cut down to ... 14*

*couldn't, so has edited some together*

 

 

Okay, so I was late, as usual. My friends decided to not wait for me at the station, so I had to go to Perth on my own .. which would have been fine if a group of insane bogans hadn't decided to join me Anyway, I escaped them and found my friends waiting at the station in Perth anyway, so we went to the place and there was like ... (Please note: I am bad at estimating) 50-100 people or something in line, and we stood there for like ... 15-20 minutes (in which time like another 3 times the amount in front of us came behind us) and then went in and nobody went to stand at the stage, just a little group of people went sort of around the right side, so we went and stood close to the left side. Then a million (not a million, it was a really small place .. like 900 people total) people came in and stood behind us, but we were front row, slightly leftish, well, I think my centre-most friend was basically centre, and I was the left-most, but that meant I was directly in front of the lead-singing guy of the Fratellis and the interesting guy of the Silents

 

Okay, so the support act was the Silents, some Perth band I haven't heard of, but my friend Dani had, or something. The guy standing in front of me/us (who was basically the tallest/skinniest guy I have ever seen in my life) was some kind of maniacal musical genius. He was just like ... in his own world the whole time, at one stage he just kind of went behind a speaker and was still playing but we couldn't even see him. He played keyboard and guitar like he was in some kind of trance, once he was just shaking his guitar while making it make funny noises with his foot thingy and at the end he started spastically ripping his guitar strings off and played the very end on one guitar string. He was insane. I couldn't focus on anything else for the whole set He's obviously the lanky one on the left here:

 

 

Then the Fratellis came on like ... 15-20 minutes later, after their strange assortment of roadies set everything up (they had one that was a doppelganger for the manager guy from Love Actually, and one that was a doppelganger for Jesus). Yeah and it was awesome. Brilliant being at the front. You know how I didn't get the second album until yesterday? Yeah, it was okay because they only played like 3 songs from it, so I knew pretty much all the songs When the audience sings the da-da-da kind of bits is so much fun I took photos and some videos (only for the first half or so), but I've never brought my camera to a concert before, so I had no idea how well it would work, and the audio is ... pretty bad. The photos are relatively good though, if I might say so myself, but the ones of people other than the guy standing infront of us turned out a bit dodgy. The drummer-guy was pretty much hilarious, he looked like he was having fun at least There was an extremely angry-looking security guard standing near us and he just had a very angry look on his face, and every time he looked at me I got scared and turned off my camera One guy crowd-surfed to the front and landed in the bit between the stage and us, and angry-security-guard went mental and carried him out in a crazy head lock grip, basically beating him up, and he was pretty young. And after (still during the song) the non-lead-guitar guy grabbed angry-security-guy extremely angry-like and told him off. And then angry-security-guy had a hilarious look on his face When the song finished non-lead-guitar guy went up to angry-security-guy and gave him a lecture. It was quite good. And then we didn't see angry-security-guy again There was a funny fangurl-type trying to push between me and my friend the whole time. She was kind of hilarious, like "omg, I'm so sorry about this, I'm sorry, it's not my fault, I'm sorry *rings someone on her phone* 'omg, listen to this!' -I'm so sorry, it's not my fault, I'm sorry *thrusts arm/phone between us and towards lead-guy*"

 

Uuummm, yeah that's it. We didn't meet them after or anything. There were some Scottish-or-whatever guys on the train that had been there too, and apparently a ridiculously large amount of people asked them if they were related or something I guess people aren't really that bright.

Oh yeah! I went to check out the merchandise and there was a step up to where it was and being the uncoordinated person that I am, I didn't see it and completely fell up it and into a stranger. And someone sitting there BURST into the most amazingly boisterous laughter I have ever heard (and I have heard some extremely boisterous laughter in my time .. mostly from myself), she was, I think, crying with laughter, and attempting through the tears to explain that she had done the same thing such a large amount of times that I wouldn't believe it.

 

Now I shall spam you with pictures.

Barry??? wow, I think I've always took him in the wrong way, cause he looked kinda annoyed but in Rome he was the one who gave his water to a few guys in the crowd and he even asked some more to give it to them again. That was nice.

And those security guys, I know they're just doing their job, but they should learn to be more polite.

Hehe, I saw your comment and I was really pleased!

Which album are you listening to? HWS?

 

 

Now the Apple store session is on the Uk iTunes store: I REALLY want it so bad! I hope it will be put on the italian store as well....

[MegPL]

Hehe, I saw your comment and I was really pleased!

Which album are you listening to? HWS?

 

yup! HWS... really good one! my fav is "Shameless"

I need to look for previous albums... how many albums they relesed?

 

*I know I am a bad fan *

[Mirtilla]

Haha, don't worry, you're just starting!

They only released one album before HWS, and it's called "Costello Music". Brilliant, let me say!
