In The City night 3 photos
I’m afraid by Friday I was getting a bit lazy over the photos I was taking. Pictures of Friday’s bands have been added to my In The City 2010 Flickr set.

They scared me. More Harry’s taste than mine, but they put on a hell of a show.

Synthtastic! A little bit Depeche Mode, a bigger bit Communards. Not bad.

Familiar sounding indie four piece.

I kept thinking "New Romantic". This is not necessarily a bad thing.

Bimey. I don’t know what they were singing about, but they made one hell of a sound. They even got Harry dancing.

Enjoyable bouncy modern folky sound.

A rather cool thing to stumble upon.

Lovely voice and simple but strong delivery. No, she’s not a giant, that’s a ukulele.
Chad Valley at Soup Kitchen #inthecity

Oddly intense geeky chap with an excess of electronics. Very odd after the bare bones simplicity of Misty Miller.

The singer’s a little tipsy.
Stealing Sheep at the Castle Hotel

Rather lovely sound, but a little self conscious. I’d like to see them after a few more performances, when they’re less scared of the audience. (Though I may not have helped matters, stood there in my "I’m your stalker" t-shirt right in the keyboard player’s line of sight.)

We’re actually here for Stealing Sheep, but were early. Not bad. Liked the end, where he just walked off through the crowd.

First of tonight’s bands at In The City. Far better than Shadows Chasing Ghosts in the other room.
