Saturday 7 May 2011<\/div>\n

I’d heard good things about Holiday Murray and thought their video for <\/a>Jirey<\/a> <\/em>was pretty cool, but I was still undecided about checking out their album launch. Then I heard Bateleur would be playing too – because I liked them so much the last time I saw them<\/a>, I decided to go and am really glad I did.<\/p>\n

\"Holiday<\/a><\/p>\n

I love it when the themes of the events take over the decor at the Assembly – there were umbrellas and weird dangly-fabricked light-fittings hanging from the ceiling, a giant photo of ‘Murray’ – the stick figure thing that features at the end of the Jirey <\/em>video – and several rows of multi-coloured flags (and some beach chairs) decorating the stage; it was really cool (except maybe the beach chairs, they were a bit silly…). Plus the lights were really amazing the whole night through.<\/p>\n

\"flags\"<\/a>LA.VI were up first; I’d seen them just once before and wasn’t blown away. Watching them for the second time, they were pleasant enough but still didn’t really make an impression on me…<\/p>\n\n\t\t
