I just woke up from the night of the Cage The Elephant gig at the Glasgow Queen Margaret Union, it was possibly the best gig of my life so far, if not a tie breaker with Gogol Bordello, but stil reaaaaaally close! Well I went around 5pm in the car with my dad and Danielle and we had a good car banter, eventually getting lost but making it to the venue with like 45 mins to spare. After realising cage was probably going to be a bit crap, for our love of them was dwindiling we got straight in the the centre of the barrier. It wasn't long before the support band Boycotts came on who were actually pretty good and I reckon will be famous one day, the front woman has this cool dancey thing going about and they have a good sound. Then The Shermans came on who, were a bit iffy really. The frontman seemed to love himself a bit, they sounded ok, but sorta like every other band. They got the crowd warmed up though and soon folk were jumping (partially through drunkeness?) Eventually cage came on and it was complete carnage from start to end, The frontman didn't stop moving and jumping once they kept coming out to the audience and make everyone reach to try touch them, I successfully did and Danielle practically took him hostage and refused to let go of his hand and stop hugging him LOL. But no, they were sooo good at working an audience and ive never done soo many foolish like headbang movements in my life. Highlight songs were obviously Tiny Little Robots and In One Ear because everyone knows them and they just have a beat that make people go crazy. At the end I caught a setlist which im really frickin happy about and I bought a badge set, Danielle got a tshirt. We never got to meet them but im past caring it was soo soo good. I definitly left a fan. Now im in total pain haha and I'm late to school (yeah, im actually going).
