Local Bands at the Summer Ball

At our Summer Ball on Tuesday there were two great local bands playing. The first one I saw were the Small Screen Light Show, who despite most of the audience being crap were brilliant. Ruth and I showed everyone how it was done and danced the whole way through the second half of their set. We even got given free badges by the band at the end (and Ruth knew the singer from school).

The other band (whose singer came and chatted to me and Christophe outside as they spread the word so people would come watch them) were the Little Comets. Now I'd heard of these guys before, by strange means. I was cycling home from lectures before lunch time one day and got a call from Scott as I approached town. He told me that he'd been in the café in the Calman Learning Centre (fancy name for a big biscuit tin full of lecture theatres) and a band had just wandered in and played a few songs. I pretty much forgot about it after he told me in more detail later that evening, but when he saw the name on the Summer Ball events line-up he recognised it and told me. So today I searched for them on Last.fm and found their YouTube link. They seem to love playing random gigs (even getting kicked off the Newcastle Metro for it) and here's a video of them doing just that for a day out in Durham.
