So I blatantly skipped the two opening bands, the Postelles and the Static Jacks, and went to see The Wombats at The Varsity tonight. What a good way to spend my hard-earned money! I loved the youthful energy they sent out - and the rhythmic clapping was definitely a bonus. They made sure to play 1996, Techno Fan, Walking Disasters, and Let's Dance to Joy Division. After saying how the Varsity had a "very strict curfew" they continued to play a couple more songs...establishment be damned!
Aside from the assholes talking nonstop in front of me for the first half of the set, it was a totally enjoyable show. I even jumped up and down...at my age! Repeatedly! It was a great way to spend a Monday night. I regret nothing!! Plus, they played great music, and had English accents...yum. I guess I have to like Liverpool at least a little bit now.
