Bis – The Lexington, King’s Cross
I do realise that I went to see Bis at the Lexington a year ago (and wrote about it here) so I thought there might be a big bucketload of deja vu but I had such a good time last year I decided to do it all over again.
The Lexington was sold out again but I gave the support band a miss – it was the same one as last time. Manda Rin was still jumping around a bit considering she was about 28 weeks pregnant. She gave birth 16 days later, so the gigging might have had something to do with that … oh and she was live tweeting during the birth. THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is the world we live in, but I digress …
The set was very different to last year and it ended with a rare outing for the Powerpuff Girl Theme which I don’t think I’ve ever heard live before. Some guy put a playlist up on Youtube here with the whole concert recorded, which was nice of him! In case it disappears the set list was:
- Starbright Boy
- Burn The Suit
- Silverspoon
- Kill Yr Boyfriend
- Darkness
- Monstarr
- School Disco
- Theme From Tokyo (was shown as Lesbian Cat on the band’s setlist!)
- Rulers and The States (a Data Panik song)
- Eurodisco
- Boredom
- Secret Vampires
- Kandy Pop
- I’m A Slut
Encore:
- This Is Fake DIY
- Theme From Powerpuff Girls
