    What did they play? I'm really jealous, I didn't find out about the gig until it was already sold out.

    At La Scala in Kings Cross...small venue, holds about 600-800 I reckon, I was right at the front :) They were amazing, far better than I thought they would be..Willam's vocals were class and he is a great frontman!

    WHAT did they play, not where!!! What songs? I have no doubt they were awesome, I saw them at the Astoria a couple of years back, they were brilliant.

    It was an amazing show :D ... got pushed out of the way by a huge guy when Jerry was handing out pics though :(
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    I think I mentioned to you that at the listening party the promo stuff mentioned a UK tour to be announced. Someone last night said it will be in November (don't know how reliable that is)

    They ended the night with Rooster? Radio absolutely destroyed that song for me, and they still play it more than any other AIC song. Such a shame, but it's good to see they played Angry Chair. They should have ended the night with What the Hell Have I, that would have made for a complete show for me, if I were there!!!

    They also played another new song ... the one Jerry said had never been played before. It was called Acid Bubble ... one of the photographers took a picture of the setlist before the show and let me read it until the roadie gave him 'the death stare' just as I reached 'Acid Bubble'
