“We’re not really a support band; more an anti-depressant”
The support at last night’s Wannadies gig came courtesy of the utterly awful Mommy and Daddy, who may just be the worst band I have ever seen (and that’s saying something; I’ve seen Ian Brown live on more than one occasion, including the infamous final Roses “performance” at Reading 96). If you need any more evidence, have a look at some of Mommy and Daddy’s lyrics.
The Wannadies, though, were excellent. Possibly even better than when I saw them back in June. Obviously they win points for playing my two favourite songs (“String Song” and “That’s All”), but they also played an excellent (and allegedly unrehearsed) version of their cover of Lee Remick, apparently because someone emailed them and asked for it. I must remember that for the future. Maybe next time we see them I can get them to do Blister in The Sun.
