4th Feb ~ Paramore @ Birmingham

..yeh i've been really busy with band and stalking and work lately.
So i'm gonna spend my day off work catching up with my blogs.

First up would be when i kinda last minute when to Birmingham to see Paramore.

Plus gave me a change to hang out with some grooooooooooovy peoples!

I finished work and got straight in my car and drove to Tamworth Train Station. As there were no Trains from Nuneaton Running to Birmingham.
£5! to park my car there.. LIBERTIES!

I just about made it for the right train.
When i got to birmingham i sat around at the train station on my todd, as the otheres were still travelling.
And per usual when your on your own, scared, in a strange City..
What do you get??
Yes.. thats right.. the crazy 7ft black dude walking back and forth making loud noises and starring at you!

Time for some Kalms...

We walked to a Pub just round the corner from the venue.. where i had my one and only beer of the night. (driving)

Hannah purchased me the beer...
and kept trying to tempt me to the dark side..

"kat you sure you dont want another beer..??"
:'(

EVIL!

This is when i discovered Llovonne was a camera whore!
And just a tad drunk...

We'd already allowed the first two bands in favour of beer.

But i was really looking forward to New Found Glory.

They played a few songs i knew.. not a lot of the old stuff.

Great band though. Was really impressed with them

I ventured down as far as i could for Paramore.
Cos i remember the last time i went.. i had to leave the mosh pit about 1 min into Missery Business because it was so intence!

I think Nikki and the others took the pussy route.. and went upstairs to the balcony..
Where as some of the rest of us had crowd surfing and being knocked out fun.

Hehe i cant remember her name but one girl that was there was out cold in "For a Pessimist.."

yes.. their first song!

I didnt really get much goot shots as i was really far away.

Paramore did a lot of new stuff..

And it suprised me how many kids didnt know any of the Songs from All We Know Is Falling...

well apart from Pressure and Emergency!

They've never been shy about admiting their love for JimmyEat World..
So their cover of Sweetness went down really well!!!!!!

Probably the Highlight of my night was when they played DECOY!

Thats my favourite song!

i was singing and jumping about.. but not many people seemed to know it..

It was nice to see Hayley get out her Keyboard for songs like My Heart. It was kinda chilling...
i love the lower register of her voice.. and it filled the room.
But not as much as Josh's Scream during the end of the song!

The finished the night off with Misery Business..
Which made a change.. as all the other times i've seen them live, they've kicked off with it.

When i got outside the venue i had NO clue where anyone was..
eventually everyone found each other..
But as my last train left at 23:10.. and it was 23:00 when the show finished.. i was fucked!

Llovonne was moaning about loosing her phone in the mosh pit.. only to discover it was in her bag..

DURRRRRR

I had to catch a taxi back to Tamworth Train Station..

£33!!! LIBERTIES

but worth if for a great night out :)
