As you
may know I went to Room 94's final stop on their Loud Noises tour last Saturday
31st March 2012), and of course it was brilliant. I have so much that I want
to say about this gig but I know I won't remember everything that I could
possibly put in.
The
London gig took place at Kings College student union. I went with my friend
Georgia (who is the randomer with the big smile in the majority of the videos),
so when we were walking around to the venue after thinking we were lost we then
saw The Famous Class and having heard that they were going to see the gig we
decided it would be a good choice to speed up and follow them to hope that we
were going the right direction. We had only followed them about 10 metres
before going around the corner and seeing a gigantic queue of girls. It was
pretty clear to us that we were there; I was really surprised with the amount
of people that were there because I had heard that the tour hadn't sold as well
as the boys were hoping it to but the London gig was packed! I was actually
scared to move at points because I didn't want to stand on anyone. The whole
night was honestly amazing and I can't tell you how much everyone seemed to
enjoy it.
Show it
Off
If you
know me then you will know how much I've been looking forward to seeing Show it
Off, when we finally got into the venue there was a massive queue for the lift
so we decided we would take the stairs. But we stupidly didn't realise that we
were on -2 and had to get to floor 4, so after running up 6 flights of stairs we
finally made it up to the gig completely breathless but we were welcomed to the
sweet sounds of Show it Off already playing.
The guys
had the challenging task of opening the gig so really had to get everyone in
the partying mood but they seemed to do such a great job. The guys had so much
energy on stage and seemed to be really enjoying it. They did such an awesome
job and they just played really well, okay there may have been a few mess ups
on some songs but you really wouldn't have known it.

Destine
When they
first spoke you knew it was going to be a good set from them. I'll be honest, I
didn't really know much of their stuff before the gig but I know a lot more
now. But they were really awesome, I had heard loads of praise about them and
they really did live up to it. They put on such a brilliant show and just got
everyone really into their music. They did a cover of "Down" which
everyone loved, the whole venue was singing and dancing along to it.

The
Ocean's Eyes
I
honestly wasn't sure what I was going to make of this, I don't know why I had
that opinion originally because I love TOE's music, they are such a good band
and I love their EP but they were on a whole new level when performing live.
This was the band that got everyone completely pumped and pushing to get closer
to the front. It was crazy to think that these young guys could be so popular
but I can assure you that people were in love with them and there were a lot of
fan girl screaming going on around me. They performed really well and had the entire
crowd playing in their hands by this time. Luke even jumped off the stage into
the audience and began singing a song from there, it really did get everyone
involved and people were getting so pumped and running from an adrenalin rush
by this time.

8th Time
Luckie
This band
was AMAZING! I wasn't sure what to expect from them originally because you
don't get many good rock bands with only three members but these guys honestly
didn't need anyone else to help them out. They had the whole crowd jumping at
one point; it felt like the venue was starting to shake because of how much
everyone was really going for it.

Room 94
They really did smash it big style. They had the
entire audience playing in the palms of their hands and everyone was really
enjoying their set. I could tell how amazing it was because it felt like they
were hardly on stage. Their new material sounded beautiful live and it was
great to see them really interacting with the audience and getting everyone
going for the gig. I was super happy to get to meet them all afterwards
although it was only for a brief moment but I’m glad that it still happened.
This was the second time I had seen them and although the first time was a much
smaller gig so it was nice in a sense that it was more personal but this one
was the best out of the two because the guys seemed like they were really
enjoying it and were able to get really into performing.

There was
so much more that happened such as a naked Destine guy running across the
stage, I got my name sang around the streets of London, the tour documentary,
being in an elevator with a band member, an awesome chat with a Twenty Twenty
member, the release that The Famous Class will be supporting Room 94 on their
August tour and so so much more. It was such an amazing night and it was great
to meet so many of the band members but also meet so many fans in the audience.
Everyone was so cheery and lovely, so it was great to get to share that
experience with so many other people.
But I do
apologise now for the lack of real words used in this post, it seems that I am
just repeating the same positive adjectives throughout the entire post. But it
was honestly an amazing gig, I can't decide if it was the best one I've been to
or not.

These videos were all recorded on
my phone and were live at the time of the event. I apologise for the poor audio
quality but for some reason unknown to me, my phone cannot cope well with loud
noises. And if the song has no name then it means I couldn't work out which one it was.
