COMANECHI UK TOUR

So tonight I'm packing my bag for Edinburgh, setting off tomorrow morning to see Comanechi on the 3rd date of their 2013 UK tour supporting the release of their 2nd album 'You Owe Me Nothing But Love' which was released on 14th February 2013 Valentines Day. The band have already been touring with the album in Japan in February. The album is excellent and a must for fans of the band. 

I first saw them live back in Manchester @ The Tiger Lounge in September 2010, I was already a big fan of theirs but had never seen them live, they did not disappoint! It was a gig to support their then new split single with Divorce on Metrok Records. I remember that there wasn't a stage as such but rather a corner in the bar with a rug down which formed the stage, after way too much Guinness in the opening set by Divorce I ran to the front to rock out to Comanechi, at one point yelping Death Of You down the microphone which keex thrust in my face ha ha, I think she probably noticed I was a diehard fan by the disastrous combination of dancing and singing I was doing (much to my then girlfriends amusment and probably embarrassment). 

After the Manchester experience left a lasting impression on me I travelled to Liverpool in February 2012 to see them support The Drums at the O2 Academy, taking with me a hand drawn 'Revenge Of My Pussy' T-Shirt which I gave to Keex's upon her request ha ha. I was then hooked, after hearing new songs and old favourites I had to see more. 

I headed London bound for the Major Move single release gig at The Lexington in July 2012.

I got there early and again managed to drink rather a lot however I was thankful for my being on time as I caught 'Skinny Girl Diet''s rip roaring set to which I was mesmerised (this is the excuse I am going to use for my strange dancing/rocking out whilst photographing the band) I later purchased their demo and was blown away, still a hardcore Skinny Girl Diet fan today I am heading down to London next week to see them play along side Art TripAnd The Static Sound. Comanechi again were amazing and with the addition of their new drummer Charlie they really had a chance to shine, keex again took up some guitar parts when she wasn't prancing around the stage and invading the crowd, Simons guitar tore through the venue distorted screams and thrashing chords!

And so tomorrow I embark on a trip, Edinburgh first to see Comanechi play at The Voodoo Rooms, then Glasgow to see them play once again with Divorce at Nice N Sleazy, then finally in Leeds at The Brudenell Social Club.
