Vangelico

 What did you lot get up to on Wednesday evening?
I had quite the exciting night. My good friends (!!!), Sydney pop act Van She, played a nice intimate gig in the back room of a pub in Geelong, and I went along to show my support. Of course it wasn't long before I needed the boys support ME. Shockingly, I was not placed on the door list as promised by someone who should know better who now has quite an interesting message on their answering service courtesy of myself, which almost spelt the end to my evening with the boys before it even began. Of course, literally a phone call later to those crazy Sydney friends of mine (!!) and I was escorted in.
Hurrah.
Lucky I did go to such lengths to attend the gig, otherwise lead vocalist Nick may not have realized he was singing the second verse when he should have been singing the first during "Kelly". (Puzzled looks were beamed from our end as I was pretty much right up the front absolutely in the poor guys face. I gave him "the look" whilst singing the correct lyrics to him, you see.) Some riotous sung-laughter caused an almost frenzy-like (not really, it was actually only one girl who looked at me with hatred in her eyes for making Nick laugh) confusion amongst the crowd, and of course I took all of this on board as if sharing private jokes with ridiculously awesome bands whilst they're on stage was an everyday thing. Not surprisingly, I haven't shut up about it since.
I took photos. Probably a bit too many to be honest. I lay the blame on about 3 glasses of Frangelico and being so close to the front. I got a bit 'swept away' in the moment, but luckily enough, nothing like the movie of the same title. I'll post them some time next week, the digi-cam is all the way in the car right now and I simply cannot be bothered leaving the office to get it.
The boys did REALLY well, and the new material is ferociously superb. I'm told the debut album is due to 'drop' later on in the year. In the mean time, I sincerely urge you to go out and purchase their self titled E.P which is being sold for quite the bargain price of $9.95 over on the Sanity website.
It's really quite good you know.
Regular readers will know that Van She are pretty much my favourite pop act going around at the moment. The boys are about to take over the world (the United Kingdom is on the cards we're told) and, quite frankly, are going to become YOUR favourite pop act going around very soon too.
So go on, hop to it.
