New Favourite Band


I recently went to see the Editors live in concert and what a great show it was. Watch out for this band cuz i think they may be next hottest thing. Their music is fast paced, infectous and combines a raw and distinct sound with a rock edge. Tom's voice can be compared to the likes of Peter Murphy and Ian Curtis of Bauhaus and Joy Division, a couple of goth bands prevalent in the 80s.

Standing at the front of the stage was one of the highlights. And of course the experience wouldn't be complete without a horribly misplaced tall person getting in the way. This one woman standing in front of me was tall, had big hair & was snapping 10 photos/second. Maybe its my moshpit conditioning or aggressive side coming out but i had this urge to elbow her sooo badly. Yes, the tension between us was pretty intense. (haha! jess)

At the end we snagged the set list off the floor of the stage so for those of us who want to create an Editors concert playlist for the iPod go right ahead cuz here it is!


oh, and above is a picture of me and my date. haha i'm kidding...no that's Tom Smith, lead singer of the Editors. We met him in a dark alley and he was nice enough to sign all our cds, posters, and take pictures.

Stay tuned for photos and videos from the concert.
