British Sea Power are playing the Anson Rooms on Weds April 6th - anyone up for going to this?
They were quite good at Glastonbury as I remember it - this is what the review said,
“As the conditions improved into the evening, next on the HMZ watching list were British Sea Power, a band whose name proved so hard to remember that some arrived believing they were about to witness a demonstration by Powergen. The set had for some reason been decorated with several small trees, whilst those in the front rows appeared to be waving branches, creating quite a bizarre scene. Having heard quite a lot about BSP before the festival, at times they lived up to expectations whilst occasionally dipping towards just ordinary guitar-rock. The highlight was definitely the chaos that ensued during their final song, as first a man dressed as a giant bear began molesting the band whilst they played, and then another bloke wandered around the stage randomly banging a drum to no obvious rhythm or purpose.”
There is also a photo of the above-described bizarre scene on the Saturday review page

I really like them, their first album is really good and very fresh sounding, they were great at T, but i cant remember seeing them at Glastonbury.
Sadly, i read the other day that the Bear has retired now. He is now apparently "70% gaffer tape and 30% bear". Maybe they will get a new animal for the gig tho? A baboon would be good.
