Play/Pause

Play/Pause is a mainstream alternative/indie/Britpop night, borrowing also from the XFM playlist.  

Where? The Albany, opposite Great Portland Street Tube. 

What we paid  £3 before 10pm, a fiver after   

Crowd?  Not an angular fringe in sight.  

Atmosphere?   Relaxed, where are all the pretentious ‘God made me indie’ types?   

What we heard   Pulp – Common People, Oasis – She’s Electric, Suede – Metal Mickey, Blur – Parklife, Kula Shaker – Hey Dude, Foo Fighters – Learn To Fly, The Killers – Mr Brightside, The Rakes – Retreat, Maximo Park – Our Velocity (er, twice); Kaiser Chiefs – Everyday I Love You Less And Less, Jack Penate – Spit At Stars  

What we liked Clipboard to scribble requests. But we’ll have to assume they’re not too fond of The Smiths.  

What we thought  Does what it says on that garish flyer: a reet proper indie night.
