Decided to post in reverse, so Cobra is first up on the recap.

On Friday I travelled down to London yet again - this time to see Cobra Starship at ULU. A total bonus was meeting up with lady_razzle there; at the last minute she'd been able to get hold of a ticket. :D I had no idea she liked CS, but it turns out we have v. similar musical tastes (Girls Aloud aside!).

We got into the venue really early and proceeded to skip the three (yes, THREE) support acts in favour of sitting and talking haha. At this point I'm going to complain about the lack of alcohol at the venue. A gig at a student union and no bloody beer? What is this fuckery?! The support bands certainly had access to beer, if not food (most of them were so skinny it was frightening).

FINALLY, Cobra came on. We stood pretty much at the back but because the venue was tiny we had a great view. The stage was of course rather on the small side and it was amusing to watch Gabe trying to bounce about and sling his microphone stand around in the cramped conditions. Dude never stands still. The crowd were practically on the stage too, which really fed the energy.
