Met up with Sam after work and we headed to North Greenwich to meet Toni and Aaron and head to the O2 Academy to see The 69 Eyes. Quick stop off at Boots en route and then we joined the queue for the gig. When we got inside we had a quick chat with Darren (DJ Angel).
One of my favourite signs in the world.... No crowd surfing:
Me with a very tired Toni:
And now onto the bands..........
MANDRAGORA SCREAM
I really enjoyed these guys. They had a very goth feel about them and wouldn't be out of place at something like Gotham or even Whitby Goth Weekend. Haunting melodies with brash guitar and bass over the top and some fantastic vocals from singer Morgan Lacroix. Lacroix was bouncing around like a maniac for the whole set and was so obviously enjoying her night. It was a short set but I will definitely be watching for them doing more dates in the future.

LACRIMAS PROFUNDERE
I can see why LACRIMAS PROFUNDERE were chosen to support The 69 Eyes as the music is very similar in many ways. Good upbeat goth rock/metal with very low range vocals. They put on a good show, had some good songs and got the crowd going which is what it is all about as a support band so job done!

THE 69 EYES
Wow! Jyrki and THE 69 EYES put on one hell of a show tonight. They were so much better than they were when we saw them supporting Buckcherry last year. Crazy thing is they were awesome then and tonight's show was just exceptional!
