Travis at the Commodore
Some band from the UK everyone says is really popular but I have never heard of them before. I did not want to go, I tired to get out of it, and failedą
Place: Commodore. A nice little Intimate Interactive type place and it suited this band.
Phrase of the day:
ōHe was lucky, he never got a finger up his assąö
(Lead singer referring to his band mates being searched at the airport)
Opening Act: Unknown
I think the lead singers name was Fiona? DonĘt know, came in late. They were good enough and the crowd came out for them. One thing girl, you look good but tuck in that pot belly your getting.
Crowd Interaction:
I have to give it to them; this is where they really shined. Every second song had a story behind it and they were usually pretty funny. I was really impressed by the way he took the time to thank the crowd for coming out but was the first band to sound sincere about it, coming into the pit to shake hands when the show was done.
Music Quality:
Have you heard of Radiohead? These guys sure have sounded like ęem. This irked me at first but they really pulled it off and in some ways were better as they didnĘt sound as dreary as Radiohead can be. These guys actually looked like they were having fun.
Crowd Performance:
What? No ones going to surf? OK this wasnĘt really the band to do this for but they did get a bouncing on a few songs. I did see one member of the Jap squad so I thought we might have had at least one. But what was there best asset? The women, aw god the womeną so many lovely pairs of (ahem), never mind the point is itĘs a good thing no one did surf cause I was to busy looking at other thingsą
Overall rating:


I really really didnĘt want to give thisą I didnĘt want to be there at first, they had acted like Primadonnas to our staff, and they werenĘt starting to sound like a copycatą
Then they made me laugh,
and the women were incredible
and they sounded great.
I was still looking for an excuse to only give three kisses when they did a cover of Brittany Spears ōHit me one more Timeöą I was sold on someone IĘve never heard from before.
ą you bounce girlą you bounceą
