Rex Orange County - Thursday 24th March - Pryzm, Kingston

Brief review:  Another Banquet Records show to celebrate the launch of Rex's new album. This sold out in seconds - and thanks to Colin's "fastest finger" on a dodgy WiFi connection in Freiburg Station, we were able to get a pair tickets (with CDs). Now this is not normally my type of music at all, but it was actually OK. Rex seems a little shy of the attention all in all and seems to have a mild obsession with Kermit The Frog - which is fine!

Very excitable audience who seemed to know every word of the songs and very shrill shrieking after each one finished, but everyone seemed to have a good time. Oh, and the bar had zero queues throughout!

Venue and View:  Early show of 2 that evening. Huge queue of largely teenage girls to get in. Got a spot at the front of the right hand side raised area leaning on shelf, so a decent view away from the crush.
