A few weeks ago, Kate Nash played at my University. As huge fans of her, me and my friends booked our tickets the very second they came on sale…..then I annoyed everyone for weeks on end by constantly saying ‘Have I told you I’m going to see Kate Nash??!’
Anyway, she was amazing live…and she really seemed like a pretty normal gal (yes, she had been to Toys ‘r Us that day)….but I only realised how ‘I fucking hate men ‘cos they’re shit’ she is when she performed a new song (which, I hope to God doesn’t get released because it’s A) Shit and B) Her mother will never look at her the same way again) called ‘You don’t have to suck dick to succeed’. I’ve included a little clip below…..it’s not very good quality…but believe me, the live version wasn’t much better.
Oh Kate, you used to be such a sweet girl!
Being a huge Kate fan, I usually love all the clobber she wears (I actually have a cardigan which has cute heart buttons on which I call my Kate Nash cardigan, absolutely ridiculous)
As you can see, she doesn’t usually scrub up too badly:
Fit hair: Check
Beauuuutiful clothes: Check
But at this concert she looked like she’d been dragged through a bush for about six miles, then came back to Lincoln and back combed it a bit more! And don’t get me started on the tribal make-up…
I don’t want to criticise Kate anymore because I love her, but she really let go that night in terms of the old outfit…..a bogey coloured floral dress and dirty leggings…it’s a gig, dress up woman!
But what she lacked in outfit and hair, she made up with visual props. Her set was stunning! It looked a bit like a living room, I felt like I wanted to pop my slippers on a get comfy. Given the ‘personal nature’ of her songs (as seen above!) the set suited her well. Lots of cosy lighting and the band stayed quite close together rather than spreading out on the stage.
And she also had a fantastic support band (which I wished I’d paid more attention to now instead of rearing my head above the crowds going ‘Can anyone see Kate?’, ‘Where is she!? What could she possibly be doing!?’ ) called The Black Kids.
Having downloaded them after the concert I can’t get enough of them. Jonathan Ross played their new single ‘I’m not gonna teach your boyfriend how to dance with you’ on his show on Saturday and when you’re played by JRoss, you’ve obviously hit the bigtime haha!
