Living life in the slow lane: Everything seems more clear, here on the other side...

Hi Tonight Alive was amazing!! Just saying.

So my mum and I went to Koko, in Camden, on Wednesday. I love Koko, from the staff to the access to the venue, its just great. Its only ten minutes or so from kings cross station so a another short taxi ride. When we got there we had someone to show us to our spots and they even constructed a ramp so I could be higher than the railing, seeing over the railing. I didn't have that last time I went to koko so it was a bit of a nice surprise. We had someone stay near so that if we needed anything, he could help. Also they helped keep people who didn't need to be there stayed out.

So first there was a band called Captain chunk no chunk. They're french and to be honest they screamed a little too much for my liking. Although I liked their cover of 'all star', I knew that one, haha! Its really weird because the singer had a really nice voice when he wasn't screaming so I joked to my mum, its always the quiet ones you need to watch, haha.

Then we had a band called the summer set, I'd heard of them before. They were from America. I knew two of their songs, 'boomerang' and 'Lightening in a bottle'. I have been listening to them ever since as well haha. They also did a cover of Ed Sheerans 'Sing' which had everyone singing along- I love that song!

Then finally Tonight Alive came onstage and powered through their songs, I don't think my mum liked it that much as it was quite loud. But I loved it, I especially loved it when Jenna came and sang 'amelia' as that song has great significance for me I feel, As its about one of her friends passing away and well I know how that feels when suddenly someone you've spent a great deal of school time with is gone. Its probably the only time I've ever got choked up at a concert and nearly balled my eyes out.
When the concert was over, one of the staff at koko said 'did I want a setlist and pick?' and gave me a setlist and pick, which they had been throwing to the crowd. I felt that was lovely touch as there is no way I would have been able to get one of them.
We had someone escort us through the crowd to the foyer to wait while they booked us a taxi, and when the taxi arrived someone took us to the taxi, in the pouring rain! Thats why I love Koko because they really know how to help and cant do enough. I've been to lots of places for concerts but no where has quite beaten Koko.
