Got to see Chris strutting her stuff with Mee Bar at the Duke of Windsor last night - very odd! She plays quite differently to how she does normally - still good, but more of a lead-breaky power chord goddess. After Mee Bar were the paeon to mediocrity, Second Dan. I didn’t know who they were at first, which was fine by me, because they were so awesomely crap, but then I realised they were one of the winners of the JJJ Unearthed competition, an extremely depressing revelation. They were basically a cover band i.e. all their songs sounded like covers. The front bloke ponced around, sweated a bit and went through all his poses like he’d been practicing them in the mirror for days on end. Argh! I just saw they got ‘Single of the Week’ in Beat (though it did include some pondering on when they’d be gracing The Footy Show…which should give people some idea of where they’re coming from.) Anyway, the next band wiped the floor with them - Daughter Boy Jao - they were great, kind of White Stripes, but in a good way. There ends the Sunday whine…
