Gig: The Haunted, Needle Eye
Venue: Camden Underworld
Date: 1st November, 2006
Summary: Large crowd but not as packed as I thought it would be for The Haunted
The Haunted did a good set. There was a large and aggressive pit. I expected the underworld to be heaving with people but it was moderately packed I would say. The Haunted went through a good selected of songs from their back catalogue and a few from their new. The new songs seem very weak compared to the older songs from 'The Haunted' and 'Made Me Do it'. On the whole it was a good performance but nothing spectacular. The singer confessed to being ill that night so at least they put an effort in.I don't remember the other bands at all! Sorry, who ever they are.
On a more sour note. You may notice there is no ticket for this gig. Getting tickets for this gig sucked. I normally buy tickets for Underworld gigs at the pub above the Underworld (The End of the World). A month before the gig they didn't have tickets. Two weeks before the gig they didn't have tickets and two days before they informed me I needed to buy the tickets from the Ticket Master website. This meant I had to pay a £1.44 service charge for basically a web server to say... "yep here you go dazza got a ticket'. Then when I get to the gig and present my credit card they have the cheek to tell me there are no tickets and I should just walk through. Muppets.
