The thought that in the space of, roughly, two months, my all-time favourite band played London four times and I was lucky enough to attend every single one of these shows is one of the best things that happened in 2016. I didn't even think a new album would come out this year. Four shows? It's even better than my birthday and Christmas rolled into one.
I really wanted to write separate reviews for those gigs, but it turns out I can't, really.So, once again, going to an Architects gig (or three) is going to turn into a tribute to one of my favourite bands in the entire world.
Here's the deal. It's me watching The Xcerts live. Of course I'm excited. They are one of my favourite bands and knowing I get to see them live gives me something to look forward to. They're a little ray of sunshine in my life - always have, and I intend to always keep it that way.
I used to like starting gig reviews with little catchphrases, but it's too much effort trying to turn my feelings into a catchy couple of words, and it's not real enough, and I just want this to be feelings and nothing else.
