A taste of Lambchop...

We went out to see Lambchop perform at the Swan in High Wycombe this last Saturday.

We have friends out that way and so we organised to see them in the afternoon where we caught up, played with the baby and the dog, and ate a good meal, and drank a few cold ones. They are off soon back to South Africa, where they come from, for a holiday. Yendall had told us of the Swan as a good venue before, and he came with us to the gig. He is a bit of music enthusiast too, preferring the old school rock and blues, but like me he will give most things a spin.

The venue was great, very intimate but without feeling claustrophobic.

We liked the support band, The Clientele. Although some of the audience were a bit rude, disappearing back to the bar to wait for Lambchop. Lambchop were very good, as expected.

The piano player had a habit cracked terrible jokes as the band tuned up, like this;
Two guys were discussing the President and one described him as a post-turtle.
The other guy asked what he meant.
"Well" he says, "Its kinda like when you drive down a road and you see a turtle on a post and you think to yourself...
how did he get up there...
he has no right being there in the first place...
you just know he is not gonna get a damn thing done while he is up there...
and you just want to pull over and help the poor fella down"

Needless to say I bought a couple of CDs. One of the support band and one of Lambchop's tour disc.
