Not words you expect to hear everyday!

Four of us went to the Wonky Pop tour in Stoke the other night - primarily to see Alphabeat again. A couple of us had seen them in the very same venue a couple of months ago, just before Fascination was a massive hit. At that point there was about four people and us in the room as I guess nobody knew who they were. They absolutely blew us away - the songs, the energy...we came away reeling, our heads full of the hows and whys of making our live show just as dramatic. So when the opportunity came to see them again we jumped at it thinking it would be awesome for the whole band to see and be inspired. What a difference a top ten hit makes!! The place was rammed from wall to wall with adoring fans shouting the words back at the stage. Unfortunately the change in the band wasn't all for the better. The band looked tired (which is to be expected I suppose) but SG was absolutely wasted, the energy we so admired from him the first time around clearly now supplemented by other means. They were still amazing though and a good night was had by all, that is until the very last song when I got hit in the face by a crowd surfer! The next day saw me in A & E with concussion, whip lash and a fractured cheek bone...how very rock and roll. I'm just grateful not to have a broken nose (how vain!) and at least the feeling is coming back to my face now so a) I'm not drooling all the time and b) I should be alright for the gig on Monday night!

Hey everyone thank you so much for the support at my first Connect 4. I was such a success that we are doing Connect 4 #2 in Birmingham (The Cross in Moseley) on the 25th of January. So whats it all about?....

FOUR on CONNECT FOUR.

FOUR new electro bands from the Midlands and beyond play live at the Cross in Moseley, Birmingham.

THREE pounds is all that you’ll pay to enjoy the tracks that these acts deliver; complemented by beats from top DJs.

TWO thousand and seven’s sounds wrapped up in a retro synth vibe; accompanied by a compelling, unique mix of other contemporary arts.

ONE of a kind, CONNECT FOUR is the only night in Birmingham dedicated to raising the profile of new electronic music.

Whos playing at this one?
