Just been to the instore at Pure Groove. I turned up halfway through Ready to Confess. Then Carina played Do You and Backseat. I think she joked before hand that we could be the shittest ever audience at singing along to backseat, but I think we did alright seeing as there were only about 20 of us and it was lunchtime! Quite looking forward to tonight.
ETA: Dan Whitehouse was playing too.

Ever get the feeling you`ve been treated, Brilliant night, my mate -the carina virgin one word to describe her FANTASTIC , just a shame run on late as we had to run to catch the tube and missed last song, what wicked support Anna Calvi can certainly play that guitar. Thank you Carina

Yep, brilliant -- utterly, utterly brilliant. Felt, in the hot, airless confines of the Water Rats, that I'd been swallowed whole, chewed up and spat out and was all the better for it. So euphoric that I bought a copy of the EP and, as Carina signed it for me, I even let her talk me into signing up for yet another bleedin' mailing list.
Loved the new stuff: I don't stream or download, so --- apart from the preview at the Borderline last year -- this has been the first real listen of some of it I've had.
Bitterly sorry I can't be there on Thursday, but I have an anniversary to honour and no idea how.
Best of luck.
Oh, and Anna Calvi was brilliant, too.

Set list:
For everything a reason Lacuna Do You Thief in the sky Please Don't stop Backseat Downslow Take the Money Into my blood Monument On leaving
And yes, it was fantastic. Four out of the five of us who went last night are going again on Thursday (and we're seeing who else we can get along).
Getting to hear On Leaving being played was probably the highlight.

I also thought Anna Calvi was superb too, will have to keep track of them, much more appropriate support than the previous acts.
I was on my own the whole night so even though the other supports acts ranged from naff to so-so at least the turnaround was relatively quick...
Anyway, I thought Carina's set was fantastic, it's a shame that there were a few technical difficulties and she didn't come out until almost 10:15 but we got a good mix of material and as ever Carina's voice was superb, that's what sets her apart from a lot of people. It's still all about her really and I'm not sure she needs a band but it was great to see the band format. I think Thief in the Sky is so much better live with all the layered vocals, the studio version is still good but doesn't quite have the same magic.
Soundwise the gig was good although I picked the wrong spot at the front, being right under the bassists amp, but overall it was well balanced apart from the sound problems.
I had a very brief chat with her after the show and she signed my CD (should have asked for a picture!) and told her I was one of her Gutter Twins converts, I always think of other things I want to say afterwards but that's how it always is. Would love to go on Thursday but it depends if I can get away from work early enough which I'm not sure I will. I was back home in Bicester at 1:15am. If I knew she'd be on earlier and play longer (she managed an hour) then I'd probably kill someone to be there, but it's a long way to go on your own and a lot of waiting around watching other bands even if that one great hour makes it worth it.
I took loads of photos and will post the best ones when I've filtered through them, it might take a few days.

Who was in the band? Im envious of Please don't stop and ON LEAVING!!!!! Dan Whitehouse was on guitar, and there was some discussion about the whether the other guitarist played with her at the borderline last year (he was wearing a vest which lead to the quote of the night 'I'm sure I've seen those biceps before') She did introduce them all, I just can't remember the names. The guy who co-wrote Please don't stop joined her on stage to help sing it. Again, my memory fails me on the name. She said On Leaving was a thank you to all the people who've stuck with her over the years.
