After producing on of the top dance hits of 2009 with "Bulletproof" and a promising debut single "Quicksand", LA Roux has got on the festival and tour circuit.
With a three piece band of sorts La Roux burst onto then stage singing "Tigerlily" a fine cut from the album and went through the majority of tracks from her debut self titled disc.
A good performance, good hair and a hot crowd! Parklife on Saturday here she comes :)
La Roux rates a La Dance worthy 3 and half stars.

A Matinee @ the Theatre - Gethsme
FAB, one word, FAB
This play was simply terrific, the acting was amazing especially young Emily Barclay in her debut on the small stage.
The political drama that was Gethsme is well worth a look at this stylish, smart and clever cast & well written play by David Hare.
A top production and a much improved outing after the god awful FAME. 4 politically driven stars.

Film Frak - Fame (is LAME!!!)
WTF is all I can say!
Why remake everything? Is it really necessary, have we become that mundane we have to use only old ideas, cover old shit songs?
The movie in a few words is "a complete mess", we follow a few totally uninteresting characters have highly predictive outcomes.
Really if you want dance hire "Step Up 2 The Streets", if you want singing go check out a local band do a live gig, this film blows, half a star.

Film Freak - Up
Well I must say I usually hate kids films but this one struck a note, this film deals with the lonesome film of loss and loneliness,for the kids though the main theme maybe adventure, which is still in there.
I loved this film and even more so in 3D! The film was terrific with it's images, it's themes and it's characters, the two main characters were extremely delightful to watch and there interaction with each other reasonable the interaction between Clint Eastwood and the young kid next door in Gran Tarino.
Up is basically a children's version of Gran Tarino without the violence and swearing, and also all those racist remarks from Clint Eastwood.
The movie rates really high with me and gets a Up there 3 and half stars.

Little Birdy @ Enmore Theatre
I loved this band the first time I heard the opening 5 seconds of Relapse all those years ago now.
The Red Riders were the support for this one and I really thought there weren't that impressive live.
The difference between Little Birdy and the Red Riders was so great it was almost embarrassing for them. Little Birdy are one of the tightest live acts I have seen in a long time.
The started their set and just went for gold. The set (as most times I have seen them) was like a greatest hits gig, hits from all three albums and a tidy cover version in the encore were all present.
Little Birdy really rate and I predict three or four months out "Brother" will be a top 10 hit in the Hottest 100 of the year.
