Im buzzing right now.
I have just come back from seeing the courteeners at Southampton University.
I have to admit that i am a musical cynic and prior to the show i was greeted by a sea of "lads" clad in their newly purchased courteeners t-shirts. An image i was not best pleased about, being the ass hole that i am.
But how my opinion changed. I have not seen a wave of unity amongst band and crowd for a while...other than the music obviously...that moulded the masses together to one single profound body. It was quite special.
Liam Fray, despite the negative media, is infact a real romantic. His unshaven persona has produced negativity for far too long. The man is writing songs that will change peoples lives. He's a lover, he's a fighter and he's a fucking hero. He has the talent to pen incidents to paper in the most poetic and yet thuggish way. A spokesman for the masses perhaps? or it could be the drink talking....
Whatever the outcome...Tonight was a "moment" of real, revived rock music with Fray's very own whimsical angle on love, life and loss. Thankyou Courteeners for bringing pop music back to the front line.
