There’s something so cool about loving a band when you’re 18 and still loving them at 34.
I’ve grown up with Supergrass and they’re one of the best bands I have ever seen live.
In fact, Supergrass at Rock City was our honeymoon. We got married when I was a 24. We were both at Uni, me doing English, Mr B Sociology. Being a mature student (snort), I worked as well as studying full time. We bought a house in my first year. Got married between my first and second year, and had Miss E at the beginning of my final year.
I know, mad.
No wonder my head is in need of chopping off, stirring around a bit, spraying with WD40 or something and fixing back on with extra strong gaffer tape.
So instead of a honeymoon we went to see Supergrass at Rock City and they were amazing.
I love them, love their attitude, love that they’re the same age as me and still cool, and love that they’re playing Clumberfest tonight, so I get to see them in the open air with some of my best mates in the whole world ever.
Lou, Pod, Tim, Nic, rock on dudes. We’re going to have a blast.
And OMG, what the blumming heck has happened to Youtube? We have been abandoned. How rude. I wanted to give you a few clips of the golden oldies as well as the erm, leass golden coloured newies.
Bugger.
So so rude.

Wow – some honeymoon!

So, you’re saying you need a belated honeymoon to a tropical locale?! Me, too! Let’s go.
And you can try Vimeo for clips – but I think Vimeo sucks. However, lots of people are using it.

I had one honeymoon to Palm Springs. Do you wanna go?

Ah Supergrass! Reminds me of my student days bounding around in nightclubs wearing a-line mini skirts, kids Fred Perry tops and Adidas Gazelles.
Have a fab time! Lucky moo…..

WD40 and gaffer tape. I’ve never thought of those, but you know what? You might be onto something.

I can’t get beyond the fact you had a baby at the beginning of your final year. I’m so impressed!
Supergrass rock. They don’t make bands like they used to….

Great – you’re going out and having some fun, lucky you! I’m home alone on a Saturday night feeling very unminxy…but it’s Notting Hill Carnival next week so I’ll be there with all my mates have a blast x

I want to wish you a fab time but I’m sure you’re going to have one regardless!

So how was it?

Well I guess Supergrass will always have fond memories for you. I don’t know them but I’ll take your word for their being great!!
