| Live: PWEI - Preaching to the Converted - Birmingham - 22nd January 2005
It's Saturday night and I've just driven over three hundred miles to Birmingham to see a band that split up over eight years ago. Have I lost the plot? Is this really worth the trek? Were they really as good as I remember? And even if they were, will they be even remotely as good now? Will I ruin the memory of those last gigs I went to see? It's time to find out.
It's with these memory and worries that I make my way into the Carling Academy in Birmingham to see Pop Will Eat Itself... who? It seems a generation has already grown up without PWEI; god, I feel old! So for those of you who don't know who PWEI are... well... er, you know what; I really haven't a clue how to describe them. "They're very much like scruffy pigs to look at.... they're very, very ugly indeed." You smiled, yes? Thats what PWEI are - they are a band that makes you smile. You can't help it. Their music never sits still; with its samples, pop, rhythm and rhyme you'll be pogoing along to...

No, he's older. And in the world's best band, whereas you're in Yer Maw.

My DVD of the Sunday night is here!
Gill, you're in full-on close-up, around the 10min50 mark. Grinning like an idiot in the middle of Get the Girl Kill the Baddies.
Only managed to watch through the first few songs in my lunch break - can't wait to get home tonight now. Beer and DVD round my gaff...
