Can You Gig It?: The Chap / The Guillotines @ The Buffalo Bar, London, 21.2.08

chap_playground03.gifIsabelle O'Carroll, editor of men's fashion authority Brandish, went to a gig last night and set aside a few moments of her valuable time to tell us - and you - yes YOU - all about it. Watch out for her new adjective for gentlemen wearing inappropriately skinny jeans.

How did you rate the venue?

Last time I was at the Buffalo Bar I was so tired I had to watch The Chap with my eyes closed in one of their nice comfy banquettes. I love a good banquette.

What were the crowd like?

A few really horrible alcohol-bloated, parsnip-legged sub-Libertines wankers; but mostly a crowd of good-humoured, slightly geeky gorgeous people.

Was the support act any good or did it send you to the bar?

Support was The Guillotines and I love them but I'm biased cos I know them. Their drummer had finger probs unfortch, and had to go to hospital straight after the gig.

Bar โ€“ rip-off or value for money?

So-so.

Venue staff โ€“ nice or nasty?

They are nice and friendly.

Toilets โ€“ swilling with piss, or spick and span?

Fine but the toilet doors are really heavy and I always get fooled into thinking there's someone in the cubicle. Also, the men's toilets flooded and there were guys in the girls', so I had to take my first ever demure piss.

Highlight / lowlight of show?

Probably The Chap's dance routines and other onstage antics.

Any other comments?

I love the Chap, they're talented intelligent and funny musicians. That is all.
