I'm From Barcelona - ULU

I wasn't too sure about this one before I went in, the album's got some nice pop songs on it but it does tend to get a bit cheesy at times. Luckily, 29 piece band I'm From Barcelona (actually from Sweden, details schmetails) are fantastic fun live. It was more like a big party than a concert with audience members helped onto the stage by the band more than once (including at one stage, a kazoo playing quintet) and the show ending with a dance version of We're From Barcelona playing over the PA, about 150 people from the audience on stage, the band mingling in the crowd and security not quite knowing what to do. Definitely one of the more fun gigs I've been to recently.

They're like The Flaming Lips and The Polyphonic Spree had a low budget baby.

I was an idiot and in my rush to get to the gig left my quick lens at home as I'd spent the morning running around taking pictures of snow (I'm Australian, it's allowed!). So these photos aren't as sharp as I'd like, but the lighting was pretty good, the crowd was friendly and a good time was had.
