I was in Hamburg over the past few days and managed to catch a few gigs.

My girlfriend and I were wandering down the Repperbahn when we came across a group of emos hanging around outside a club in the afternoon. We took a wander over and discovered that the 1975 were playing that night. The box office was closed but we happened upon a ticket shop across from a bar we went for a pint in so we got tickets for 20 euros a piece - a mate from work paid over 90 quid for him and his girlfriend to see them less than 2 weeks ago over here

The night after that a friend who's living out there invited us to see the Allah Lah's at another club ont he Reeperbahn. I'd never heard of them (and to be honest I was pretty drunk by the time we got to see them so don't remember any of their tunes) but they were nice if a bit inoffensive musically.
