Buraka Som Sistema @ Scala tonight
Fucking incredible. Quite easily one of the best live bands I've ever seen. They're like the musical equivalent of the Berlin wall being knocked down. Endless amounts of energy, some fierce dance moves, some SICKKKKK MCing, a kuduro version of 'Smack My Bitch Up', Van Halen samples and FUCK loads of fun. A perfect gig, apart from 2 things:
- The sound at the Scala is a bit shit. They need to sort it out. I'm worried that when I see Dirty Projectors/Polar Bear the sound's gonna be shite.
-A fair few member of the audience. Do NOT tell me that I am standing in your space, I paid the same amount for a ticket as you did, if I decide to squeeze forward because you're about 7 inches taller than me then don't call me a cunt. Also, DO NOT use the excuse 'my girlfriend can't see', she is also taller than me and you're both cunts. So fuck off. Also, FAO: the girl in front of me- if you'd have elbowed me one more time I would have grabbed the drumstick from your hand and striked it over your head. If you stand at the front of the gig expect a bit of pushing. Tutting only makes you out to be a bigger bitch than you probably are. Sort it out.
8.5/10- would do it all over again right now.
