![]() ![]() We hastily retired to the car (well, the establishment that happened to be located immediately outside the car) for a wee dram before home. Again, it’s the first time I’ve heard them play that one and as a showstopper, they made a good choice. They rode the wave of the applause then started their encore – Tina Turner’s Simply The Best. The kittens didn’t bother with all the ‘going off and coming back on’ bit at the end. Transformers, Gummy Bears, The Mysterious Cities of Gold, Thundercats, Pokemon, Mask, Ulysses, Ghost Busters, Inspector Gadget, Chip ‘n’ Dale and the Turtles all got the kitten treatment in an epic few minutes of music, with every theme getting questioning, followed by realisation and then immense appreciation from the audience. #THUNDERCATS THEME SONG FOR UKULELE TV#The band shot to fame when their cover of Limp Bizkit’s Rollin’ went viral on YouTube, resulting in the Kittens opening for Limp Bizkit at Sonosphere the next year.Ī good mix of songs filled their set, with a couple of new (at least to me) tracks including Queen’s Fat Bottomed Girls / Bicycle Race and a great medley of kids’ TV theme tunes from the 80s and 90s which really brought back some memories. They do have an interesting repertoire, though… It’s mainly covers of rock and metal songs including a fair number with lyrics that aren’t that family friendly. For those of you unfamiliar with the trio, they are a vocal-based lounge act with some great harmonies, accompanied by piano / keyboard. To the left we have pink, to the right, blue, and in the middle, on keys, red. In matching blue sequined dresses, their immediate distinguishing factor is hair colour. The audience cheers in anticipation, as three ladies take the stage. ![]() It’s as well-kept as is possible using that method, and it’s definitely a joy to go to a venue when they’ve got something reasonable to drink. The last couple of times I’ve been to the Wedge, they have had two beers from Irving, Frigate and Invincible, on direct dispense from polypins behind the bar. There, he played an acoustic cover of Radiohead’s Creep accompanied by pretty much everyone else in the venue on backing vocals.Īfter a quick trip to the bar for another shandy for Luke and a pint of Irving & Co’s Invincible, a chestnut brown 4.6% bitter with a good rounded flavour and slightly hoppy finish.

This was all carefully timed due to the Lounge Kittens being one of those nice bands who tweet stage times, so we planned our arrival at the Wedge to coincide with the last couple of tracks of the support act, so the mad rush for the bar / outside for a fag didn’t coincide with our arrival. Luke was on the ubiquitous chauffeur’s pint of shandy. I was on a golden, hoppy five percenter of unremembered name. there was no queue at the bar and we were soon drinking our pre-gig pints. The space was there, right outside the door. None of this driving around looking for somewhere to park. An hour after I’d walked through the door at home, we were parking outside The Vaults in Albert Road. I had a mad dash home from work, quickly nuked some food, got changed, fell into Luke’s car and we were off to sunny Portsmouth.
