Woman, booze, songs, the usual…

  • September 6, 2007
  • Popjustice

Here is a visual clue to lead you into a descrip­tion of what we did last night.

What a nice sign. We went to see Roisin Murphy a) sing some songs from her new album and b) prove that she is the most ter­ri­fy­ing, amazing, unhinged woman making music on the planet today.

The important points of the evening were:

There were costumes.
There was a costume change for every song. Some of these involved a different hat or a little cape. One involved wearing a chair and attacking backing dancers. 

There were songs.
She sang most of her new album and we enjoyed 'Cry Baby', 'Movie Star' and 'Overpowered' quite a lot. 

There was shouting. 
There were a lot of people shouting for an encore but that didn't happen. She had probably run out of outfits. 

Here are some pho­to­graphs from Popjustice's pro­fes­sional pho­to­grapher, who also attended. 

Roisin fiddling with her gloves.

Roisin having a look through her costume cupboard.

Roisin having a little dance.

Roisin wearing a big hat. 

Here is a video we made of Roisin singing 'Overpowered'.

And here is a video we made of Roisin singing her next single 'Movie Star' although to be honest it is mostly clapping.

Very good.
