About Me

Clever Sleazoid
DIR EN GREY 2nd August 2007 - Islington Carling Academy.
As soon as these gigs were announced, the buzz on all the regular fansites built the expectation to ridiculous levels.. But what is even more shocking is that Dir en grey stripped us of those, and gave us a gig that went beyond what any of us could imagine. The band seemed to thrive on the anticipation and excitement that had built in us all over the long wait for them to visit our fair isle. With each cheer, and chant of their name they played harder, bounced higher and screamed beyond all human limits. This in effect made the whole audience sing louder, clap harder, and thrash their heads until people were being pulled out from exhaustion. The energy that night was incredible. I have been to so many gigs, I'm practically a veteran (no tormenting me about my age either (#^.^#) But this had so much more than any.. the offspring, Guns n roses, pearl jam, chili's .. none compared to what happened here in August. Both nights were the best of my life. Thanks Dir en grey.
Dir en grey have an official on demand video, from the London Carling Academy August 2nd show. Please support the band and go watch.
