The Rifles
Wow, Sounds of London erm I mean The Rifles are playing at ULU.
There’s a bit of history you should know about. Back when I was a student, Thursday night was ULU night. We had an unsigned band. We had the strange stoner woman. We had lots of beer and (for the goths amongst us) snakebite and black. We saw Radiohead play before they were famous. We saw about a million other bands who were never meant to be famous.
I first saw the Sounds of London with my girlfriend back in (we think) 2002. Not sure but I think it was at the Falcon in Camden.
Anyhow, Sounds of London never made it, but they metamorphosed quite recently into the Rifles, and now they’re Big in Japan.
My girlfriend metamorphosed into a wife.
Now we pay 9 quid (plus booking fee) to see them.

By the way, virtually every photo that I post has been “‘shopped” using The Gimp – an excellent, free replacement for Photoshop.
Can you spot the missing finger in this photograph?
