EuroTrip 09 in pictures - Part 2 - LONDON MUSIC

One of the great things I miss of living in London is the wide variety and high frequency of music gigs available all year round. So I took the opportunity to catch as many gigs as i possibly could during this trip. Gigs don't just cover LIVE performances by artist and bands but going to watch DJs play too.


The Ed Banger 6 and a half birthday party at The Coronet in Elephant & Castle was definitely one of the highlights of the club gigs I went to. The line-up for the main room included the head honcho himself Busy P, DJ Mehdi, SebastiAn, Feadz, Krazy Baldhead, So_Me and brand new signing Breakbot. Two other rooms had DJ sets hosted by familiar acts such as Friendly Fires and Mystery Jets.

Inside the Coronet

Despite buying the tickets in advance we still had to line-up outside for a good 40 minutes. The crowd were the usual Ed Banger lot (I guess our nearest would be Lap-Sap or BarSonic look). Most were well wasted and some were generous too - we were not allowed to bring drinks in and those who were came prepared to line-up who still had left-over tinnies and bottles, very generously passed them on to people, including me!



The Ed Banger Crew

As expected the crowd were seriously UP FOR IT and sweating like Beeyatches in there... check this out :



Seeing as the night/morning at the Ed Banger party ended at 6am (and that was DESPITE turning down various invitations to private house parties) most of the next day was spent recouperating in bed because I had tix to see BabyFace play at the O2.

This is what the tube looks like at 6am and you're the FIRST soul on the platform...

BabyFace really is uber-talented... and the women were literally SWOONING. I noticed lots of metro-sexual men there and by the way... i was more or less the only asian person there!

I was a wreck at the Babyface gig by the way... so very wrecked....
