Smashing Pumpkins at Birmingham NIA were great last night. We were stood as far back as you could get, but the sound was immense. No screens, but nice lights and shiny kit, all projecting well. Billy Corgan, insatiable bald man that he is had them play over 2 hours, breaking 11pm curfew
A proper poncy Swedish themed craft beer place with omnipollo insane pastry stouts on tap, Swedish metal bands on the speakers only, and door staff that rank how niche pretentious you are with questions about music taste and lower league football. I’ll be fine 😎 don’t fancy anyone else’s chances of getting in though
I agree with most of this but I don't remember everyone being grumpy . There was definitely a bit of that and I'm not claiming everyone was bouncing (you couldn't, your feet were stuck) but there seemed more a 'f**k it, this is what we've got, let's get on and enjoy it as much a we can' vibe. I think there was a lot of just laughing at the ridiculousness of it all.
