I know a couple of posts ago, I made the Tokyo Police Club gig sound like a total disaster, but it 
wasn't all doom n' gloom. Of course, as it was after 1st July, the smoking ban was in full effect. I make no apologies for sounding like a do-gooder but I love the clean air. I don't think the novelty will ever wear off. I don't miss feeling suffocated by various noxious gases, nor waking up the following morning perfumed with tobacco. I'd also add that, and this is purely anecdotal, the room was of a much cooler temperate than what I usually experience. This does make sense when you consider that hundreds of smouldering cigarettes emitting a sultry haze, has suddenly vanished. It makes for a much more comfortable experience.
Another added bonus of the evening (and the main point of the post, although you wouldn't know it) was the support act, The Pistolas. They came recommended by a friend who'd received a promo CD. With an audacious glam punk sound coupled with an
infectiously uninhibited front man (an X-rated Will Young) they really did outshine T.P.C. If you do get the opportunity to see these guys play, please, please, don't let the chance pass you by.
While on the topic of support acts, I went to see Ghost on Monday. Preceding them were The Hoosiers, a band I know nothing about yet have achieved a top 5 single I believe. I must say I thoroughly enjoyed these guys. Again, a genuinely entertaining front man (who looked a hell of a lot like Ben Stiller) and brazen sound, stifling the main attraction.

I just thought I'd say this, in case nobody else has. Great blog, great music.......:)
Thanks buddy, much appreciated!
Agree with this.
I saw TPC in Camden Barfly and the Pistolas were a lot better...so good in fact that we went to see them again last night at Madame Jo-Jos.
Well worth checking out.
(I enjoyed the X-rated Will Young comment too - spot on!!)
I saw them support too, but i thought they are very, very over-rated. Indeed a dated sound.
