Mathew Street Festival - Monday

The Mathew Street Festival on Monday was amazing. 

We got there just in time for Kaiser Thiefs. This band were absolutely amazing. They sound just like the real thing. Unfortunately they don't look like the real thing. But hey, its free!





Here is Ricky-a-like acting like the real Ricky and climbing up the scaffolding!





Next up were The Fillers. These were the best band by far. They look like The Killers and they sound like them. They are brilliant! I cant wait to see these again!

After The Fillers were the Antarctic Monkeys. These always sound amazing. I saw them last year. It is also at this point where people start throwing beer all over the place. I got out of the crowd here. My legs were aching from jumping around! They sounded brilliant though.

Next were Razorlike who sounded a bit like Razorlight but not brilliantly. The lead singer did not look like he'd made an effort to even look like them! But they were OK. I didn't manage to get any photos.

After this we went to another stage to listen to Elevation (U2). These are amazing every year and have quite a large fan base. Therefore, it was a shock that they had been put on a smaller stage. We could get nowhere near and the stewards were ridiculous. There were barriers up everywhere so nobody could get where they wanted. I was so angry. We had to miss Elevation this year but hopefully will see them next year (on a bigger stage!).

Then it was back to the main stage to see Kins Of Leon. These were amazing. They didn't look like the Kings Of Leon but they sounded fab! Everyone was singing along to Sex On Fire. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. I only got one photo and it was from quite far away.

So that was it for another year at the Mathew Street Festival! The weather was good on the Monday until Kins Of Leon finished and then it rained! I can't wait for next year.

Mathew Street Festival 2009 - Sunday

We went to the festival today and saw Guns 2 Roses. They weren't bad, Axl's voice was more croaky than it should have been I thought. We didn't get to see the Queen tribute band as the rain was terrible! Thankfully, the weather for tomorrow looks better! Here are some photos of Guns 2 Roses, I failed to get any closer so I had to take photos of the screen!

Mathew Street Festival

So this weekend it's the Mathew Street Festival! I'm very excited. I can't wait to see

• Dios Salve A La Reina (Queen tribute)
• Kaiser Thiefs (Kaiser Chiefs tribute)
• The Fillers (Killers tribute)
• Antarctic Monkeys (Arctic Monkeys tribute)
• Razorlike (Razorlight tribute)
• Elevation (U2 tribute)

I shall get lots of photos and may write some reviews of the bands. I have seen a few of them before, Elevation are on every year and are fab, as are Dios Salve A La Reina. I saw The Fillers, Kaiser Thiefs and Antarctic Monkeys last year and these were also fab. Especially The Fillers! (The Killers are my favourite band and these sound just like them!)
See you there! (30th-31st August - Liverpool City Centre)
