British Wow Power

Last Thursday, I saw one of my favorite bands, British Sea Power, at my favorite venue, The Loft.

Opening for British Sea Power were the Colourmusic. They were okay.

After the Colourmusic, were A Classic Education. I saw them at SXSW. I enjoyed them a lot at SXSW and at The Loft

And then British Sea Power took the stage

It was a killer set

If you’re down with the BSP, you know the track “All In It”/”We Close Our Eyes” from Do You Like Rock Music? It’s a building chant

We’re all in it
and We’re all in it
and We’re all in it
and we close our eyes

It works excellent as both an opener or closer. That night, they decided to use it as a closer. It was great. A Classic Education joined in. And I also decided to join them on stage. Along with a few members of the audience, including the couple who had their first date at a British Sea Power show and were now engaged (Awwwwww).

I was in the front, and Noble, the guitarist, was gesturing like he wanted me to get on stage. I assumed he wanted the girl to the left of me. So she went up first. But he was still making motions, so I went up too. And then most of the front row. Here’s proof
