Saturday night looks bad to me

Oppenheimer @ Unit 22, Southampton. 14.04.07

Belfast's electro-indie-pop duo Oppenheimer played Southampton's (supposedly) best indie night yesterday. Stu's review for MintSouth will be up on their myspace sometime this week if he actually gets round to writing it up! Complete with a Q&A courtesy of Rocky Oppenheimer.


The crowd was small but appreciative, especially the more vocal group at the back. It's possible we were the only 4 people who had actually gone with the sole intention of seeing them! You should check them out here -

Have a wee listen to my mp3s at the bottom, they are pretty ace.

Hey look he's wearing my Saddle Creek t-shirt, what a clever boy.

The rest of the evening was a bit odd, a case of too many DJs (Soulwax anyone?) spoiling it. There were a few good tunes to dance to though -

• Sun hits the sky by Supergrass


• Patio song by Gorky's Zygotic Mynci


• Australia by The Shins


• Suedehead by Morrissey


• March into the sea and Dashboard by Modest Mouse


• Crystal lake by Grandaddy

Truth be told, Frank Turner did a better job a week last Thursday (5th) when he played Don't stop me now by Queen.

But on the way home we found a slightly dazed looking bloke leaning on a lampost and he gave me one of his sparkly hats. Hurrah for the second hat of fun!




As always here's a few mp3 recommendations. If you like, go buy. Stealing music is decidedly un- groovy and not deserving of the hat of fun.
