If you're afraid to listen to Babyshambles because Noel Gallagher might find out, The Me Exhibition are for you!
When you have the fortune of going to a Me Exhibition gig, you may mistake your whereabouts for a live sex show, Barfly? More like Barguy. Wielding an arsenal of songs so melodic they'll touch you in places even the school nurse hasn't laid her greasy mits of pleasure on. Think late night on the town, think ear splitting noise, think shagging your best mate’s bird whilst he sits in the next room playing solitaire with his mother.
With a host of Influences ranging from Blur to the Klaxons, The Me Exhibition could be said to leave no genre untouched, a frantic cover of "Hips Don't Lie" leaves the crowd feeling rather horny to say the least. When guitarist Kiyon screams "Shakira Shakira!" into the mic, you can almost feel the sexual tension, It certainly gives the boys at the front a reason to sit down that has nothing to do with the music if you know what I mean.
Ed White, a fairy princess at times, a hot vixen to young impressionable indie boys at others. As he struts his stuff on stage, caressing the guitar like a beautiful maiden, he is blissfully unaware that the entire crowd ARE mentally undressing him. Even this reviewer has tried to get a piece of Ed, but to no avail. All in all, this baby's got Back!
Josh Alford, the man behind the music, a secret hatred for Stefan and Kiyon may reveal a simple jealously, but maybe he just wants a threesome and is too shy to admit it. There's not a girl alive that hasn't thought of getting in this boys pants. And yes, the legend is true: "once you go Josh, you're gonna need a wheelchair".
The only possible way one could describe Stefan Filby and Kiyon Samavat, the two front men, is with this simple quote:
"Like Lennon and Mccartney, only better looking"
With Stefan on screaming vocals and bass, and Kiyon on trash guitar and providing shocking backing vocals, they make the perfect partnership. Whilst the rest of the band provide the relative normality to the band, Mr Filby and Mr Samavat provide the hardcore fairy-fo-shizzle that is needed in every band, with girls H&M hoody’s [size 8], kiyons Red skinny jeans from Primark [Women’s Section] and shoes made out of Jamie Reynold’s foreskin, they truly do get all the attention. Nevertheless, it always seems to be the sex machine that is Josh that gets all the ladies.
Kiyon is known for making sweet love to his Les Paul, whilst banging out barre chords in the wrong key, rolling around stage, getting down on his knees, sweating like a dehydrated pear and encouraging the crowd using only his sexual libido. Stefan however is a dynamo a little to the left of the stage. With forever wrong basslines, the mic’s never being loud enough and his pure womanliness, Stefan is the perfect frontman, and no-one can disagree otherwise. Whilst stamping down hard onto the stage, amazing the croud with the sheer tighness of his jeans, biting hard down on his bottem lip and both singing and screaming the words in his own world, stefan absolutely loves being fabulously fabulous.
All in all, The Me Exhibition are the band you should watch out for in 2007, they're like listening to Ocean Colour Scene, doing politically incorrect LSD and getting arse raped over and over again.....all at the same time...or something less disgusting, like a kitten?
Climate Change is something that will affect and is affecting everything on the Earth, be it Humans, Animals, Plants, Ecosystems etc. Living in one of the busiest cities in the world, London, we can really see how much damage our society is doing to the environment. It's hard to breathe in Central London due to all the pollution. All the pollution that is slowly being added to the environment.
Yeah, I appreciate that you may think that your actions won't have an effect and that Climate Change is something that we're too far along the line to stop. But every little bit that you do to make yourself, your home, your community greener will help. It's a tough thing to challenge, but if we all did our bit for the environment from early on, then we wouldn't be in the blazing heat of May at the moment.
