We Are Rockstars

Right...seeing DIOYY last wednesday was mega!
I actually made it!
Though when I arrived at the venue, there was no one there and I began to worry, but I stuck it out, enjoyed the amazing DJ who spun some ace tunes including Pulp, MGMT, Lou Reed and others, and had to stand through some SHITE band that I don't even remember the name of. But then DI played an immense show!
Before everything started, I picked up a shirt and the album, which I had planned on getting for the low price that they sell it for.
It was a triumphant moment, since I have been trying to get it since the 24th March!
But that is an entirely different story...

Anyway, I saw Morgan, one of the lads out the band during that time I spent by the merchandise, and earlier outside the front door when I asked him if the venue was open.
I fort it was him, but he had used an American accent, and that threw me.
I also saw James, the bassist walk right through the miniscule crowd just before the gig began.
I find it humourous that no one recognised the people they were meant to see.

I placed myself in front as it were, and since this venue is so small, I was basically two feet from the band and almost eye-to-eye with them.
It's sort of a really immense feeling when you're that close and intimate with the band, and somewhat intimidating to those who aren't prepared and shy away.
It's really powerful.

They began to play and I was watching Morgan play guitar with utmost pleasure, but unbeknownst to me he was watching my expressions of delight!
He kept singing suggestive lyrics to my face also.
^-^
That's the intense and intimate feeling I'm talking about, when that's happening and you're making eye contact the entire time!

The band get really messy on stage, flying about and going mad.
There were mic stands flinging around, James got up on one of the amps and was hanging over me whilst clinging to the rafters and Morgan almost threw his guitar.
I was fucking having it!
I let loose to the point of where I didn't know where I was!

As the band said that they were to play their last tune of the night, a resounding protest caused them to play a cover of Whip It, and for them, the SUPPORT act to play an encore!
How fucking amazing!
Not to mention that they played Dawn of the Dead by request, and said that they hadn't played it in ages.

All in all, it was a memorable gig!

Though since then I have been doing things non-stop and haven't fully recovered.

More later, and mucho mucho lovo.
