Hi everyone,
I'm going to blog about Kassidy, even though Miss
B has already done it I'm feeling unoriginal and she has a memory like a
goldfish, so I'm going to expand her ideas and correct her errors.
Well basically I received a phone call many, many
nights ago now. It was Miss B she was muttering on about some band called
Kassidy and in my daze of thinking about the hunger games (yes I'm obsessed,
any other obsessed readers? No?) I agreed to something I thought I would come
to regret but didn’t! This, unsurprisingly enough was Kassidy's gig in the
Perth Concert Hall.
My first dilemma was, 'What was I going to wear?'
well let me tell you this was not an easy choice. I've been to a gig before and
dear lord was I under dressed. What did I show up in? Jeans, flat shoes and a
t-shirt. What did everyone else show up in? 9" heels, tiny dresses and... little
else. So you can understand my concern. In the end I opted for an in-between
look, not to casual and not to dressy, I wore leggings and a floaty top (one of
Miss B's errors as I was not wearing jeans).
We arrived to the sight of a few hardcore leather
clad guys swaggering down the street looking rather warm in their attire,
considering it was 20 something degrees (many people in Scotland consider this
the kind of weather to wander around practically naked, resembling a lobster)
so when we saw them we felt slightly worried for their sanity. But not to
worry! We found out later that it was part of their 'look' for the band as they
were one of Kassidy's supporting acts called The Blindfolds (http://www.facebook.com/blindfoldsmusic
- their facebook page) I don’t normally like their kind of music but after they
had performed Miss B and I both agreed they were an extremely good exception to
our usual genre. Kassidy also had another amazing support act called Jamie and
his friend Shaun, but I can’t seem to find them anywhere! Anyway they were
truly amazing!
But drum roll please... (Imaginary drum roll
sounds in head) for the headline act KASSIDY! (http://www.kassidymusic.com/ - official
website) After a longgggg interval filled with endless Adele songs to which
Miss B and I were slightly confused considering Adele had nothing to do with
the concert, but yes after this we were feeling rather dubious as to whether
Kassidy could live up to their headline acts. When all of a sudden, the lights
went down and on swaggered the band themselves. Followed closely by cheering.
After a little introduction they were off! And wow. Seriously, wow. They
were good! They were incredible! (Even though I was temporarily blinded by
a series of strobe lights and momentarily fearing for my health and wondering
if it was possible to suddenly develop epilepsy.) They played many, many rather
amazing songs and any doubt I had about them living up to their supporting acts
vanished. They were so fantastic I wish I could go see them again. But, unfortunately
it was a one-night thing and in the morning they were on the road again.
All in all I'm thankful (for once) about my
Hunger Games obsession because without it dragging me into the black abyss of
my imagination and creating all to frequent daydreams I would never have
witnessed this act of sheer musical gold. Basically what I'm trying to say is,
watch out because this wont be the last you hear of Kassidy.
