I went to the Models reunion gig at the Prince of Wales tonight.
Ive been a mega fan since a kid so i was way excited.
It turned out to be The James Freud Show, and im not a fan of FrankenFreud.
1. he had his kid in the band.
2. he had his kid's bands singer on as a special guest for no reason at all.
3. he clearly wrote to the setlist because all songs bar Two Cabs To The Toucan were from his era of the band PLUS he had his solo stuff, and Teenage Radiostars song
I prefer Alphabravocharliedeltaechofoxtrotgolf to Out of Mind Out of Sight. Sure OOMOOS had Big on Love and King of Kings on it but it also had Barbados and the title Track. blurgh.
Sean Kelly led Models was a much more interesting band.
So tonight was a bit of a let down as they played all later stuff and i sort of, stupidly expected i hear a bit of each album.
They even did all three singles from Media. come on….
i wanted to hear MAN O' ACTION! being yelled but Two Cabs To The Toucan was awesome. You could almost even understand the lyrics.
Im still glad i went despite the less than ideal setlist. I couldnt wipe the smile off my face even though it was clear they were only doing this gig for the money.
