Me and Alec went to see Muse at London Arena. Hundred Reasons supported and they were awesome, the whole of the band are really looking forward to their forthcoming album. Muse played through their whole catalogue of songs, including some newbies. Ended with Hyper Music, and giant balloons falling from the ceiling, amazing. Highlights had to be Citizen Erased and Plug in Baby.

February 2, 2002: Alien Ant Farm, Vex Red, Dredg

All of us went to Brixton Academy to see Alien Ant Farm. Vex Red and Dredg were in support. Vex Red had some good songs, Genie in a Bottle (yes the Christina Aguilera song) being a highlight. Dredg had some good riffs, but had a man with seven layers of clothes on and played trumpet as their singer. Obscenities were passed, and Dredg left the stage in shame. After the shambles of Dredg, AAF came on to huge support, and they rocked the academy with Courage, Whisper, and that old favourite Movies. They ended on Smooth Criminal, leaving everyone on a high. An awesome show.

Here's Mike (the drummers) view on AAF:

"Me (Mike, drummer) and Alec (Fatty Bass player) went into the pit at AAF. Now the pit at an AAF gig don't sound like much, but it was f**kin great, and we went crazy. I can't wait for S.O.A.D."

As Mike said, the next gig the gang are going to is System of a Down at Brixton Academy on the 20th of March, so tune in soon for a review of that gig.
