Yesterday we all drove to Birmingham to see Rizzle Kicks at a gig. So there was only one possible choice “Roaring 20’s“.
What a brilliant gig. These boys really put on a good high energy show; jumping around the stage like there was no tomorrow. They really got the crowd going and it was a fantastic atmosphere. The kids loved it. Played most of their Roaring 20’s album and a selection from their first. I’m still preferring the first album to the second one but seeing the songs live I’ve started to change my opinion.
The only drawback was it finished at eleven but took another two hours until we got home.
This late night didn’t help with my Sunday run. I had a new purchase in the shape of “The Next Day” by David Bowie.
I bought this on the back of all the publicity it has received. The turning point was his award at the Brits (although he wasn’t there). There aren’t many albums that have such a massive impact on their release as this. Quite amazing how Bowie managed to record this in secrecy.
I was feeling tired when out running but somehow managed a very fast time for 6 miles. No idea where I dug that one out from.
