Yeah, I went to this gig. I've seen Stellastarr* in every London gig and that was definately there best performance. The 22s RULED in some places, and were noisy OK in others, but all round, pretty impressive. The Ordinary Boys should have (and probably were) ashamed to be there. Representing English music via the medium of cockney rock, vomit inducing sh*te that was so bad, dull, boring and plain ordinary I wanted to get to stage and chin the bowl headed cu*nt for merely playing that ear polluting cr*p in the same building as Stellastarr*. They should have personally apoligied to every single Stellastarr* fan for making any of us listen to such utter, rotten, stale music before disbanding and never touching another instrument again. I actually hate them for bringing down the whole night, humiliating us all for being English and actually producing such terrible music, which is only launched off the back of some Libertines movement, which in itself is disgusting. The Ordinary Boys should shut up and take their "gritty" cockney music scene with them. It's not wanted, apart from some half witted NME journos who wouldn't know good music if it slapped them in the face because their too busy hanging onto the coatails of other people's fame. It's a shame Stellastarr*, or their fans had to endure the 35 minutes of travesty.

I agree (in a way!). I thought the 22s were good and I liked the way some of the band stayed to cheer stellastarr* later on. It's just a shame that where I was standing (front left) how the vocals sounded too muffled. Not the fault of any of the bands that played that night though.
I did like the Ordinary Boys (unlike my two acquaintances who thought them rather too ordinary), but didn't quite think they fitted in with the other bands. I think The Jam comparisons are a little wide of the mark, but I wish them well.
Neither of the support bands have that wow factor that stellastarr* oozed as soon as they came on.
I was actually quite impressed with the new venue, although it's some way off being rough around the edges enough to give it that gritty atmosphere you yearn for. That floor REALLY is far too polished for my liking!
Geez... what was it with those drinks prices? (question mark). You'd think with the unashamed promotion of the name that Carling would be flowing out of the taps and they'd be paying us punters to drink the damned stuff (gassy is not the word for it!).
I was proud of my gf, Miriam, who despite being warned not to take photos, carried on regardless (well at least when the security guy wasn't looking!) and took some mighty fine shots of the 22s and stellastarr* (one in particular is bloody amazing!).

Events:
stellastarr* 7 Islington Academy 24 Nov 2003 plus The Ordinary Boys and The 22s. Looks like everyone was there to see the Ordinary Boys, but I thought they were a bit ordinary... stellastarr were OK, not quite as convincing as on record though.
Rate stellastarr*
Also there's an xml feed of the 22s, a JSON feed, and a KML feed of the 22s , search my the 22s venue info, the 22s on Your Folkestone.
