Concert report - Flying Pickets
Jul. 31st, 2005 12:06 amToday, on the Nuremburger open-air free festival Bardentreffen, the british A Capella band The Flying Pickets had the lead slot on the main stage. Wonderful, simply wonderful.
Whenever they don't do their own songs, they do A capella-versions of top hits; with the pecularity that they mimic the original setting VERY closely. You can hear them sing every single guitar riff and solo. Simply lovely.
It doesn't get much worse when you realize what eyecandy they are. They made me droool and feel like a fangirl when they started gyrating their hips and singing Boyband top hits. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm butts!
And the voices - the voices! They are almost (not quite, but almost) better at sending spine-shivers than Sting when they launch into Roxane or Moon over Bourbon Street. Mmmmmmm.
In other news, I bought a flute for a pittance. It works well for quite a few of the more common medieval/LARP/bagpipe tunes. Now, all I want in addition is a LARP-ready tin whistle! And perhaps a drum...
