If you get a chance - and you arent feeling too down - go see the Editors. My friend Stefanie 
convinced me to see them - and on her good (hopefull) taste I said yes. I am glad I did - effectively combining The Smiths and Interpol sounds these guys make depression sound uplifting . The lead singer, Tom Smith, sounds a little like Morrisey from the Smiths era, and makes me think of what Cosmo Kramer would look like if he were making music - very herky jerky motions that definately keep you entertained. The guitarist was totally sporting the Han Solo look... quite amusing!

I mean I have nothing against metal, but these guys sound like noise. ok a few songs were better, but still a mismatched pairng. Ra Ra Riot was good from the 2 songs I heard from them. Mental note to make a better effort to see them - I thought they were the second act & thus did miss them.
The tally: Editors 4/5; Biffy Clyro: 2/5; Ra Ra Riot 3/5 (based on 2 songs heard outside the club)
