A great double-header, this, and a great venue as well, the ICA being very posh indeed with an impressive and ambient bar, where I spent much time - and money!
Both bands played superb sets; Tim Booth of James wore a massively vile boiler suit and jerked his way through a set of mainly new material, yet still fun, unorthodox and distinctly James. The Woodentops, by contrast, played all the old favourites in their 100mph set of mutant rockabilly. Grabbed both set-lists; Rolo's one for The Woodentops halfway through the set! Naughty, naughty...
I was there!! Fantastic gig. I was at Uni in Birmingham and met my mate from Portsmouth in London to go to this. Blew us away.
