Oh my god, Kaiser Chiefs were great last night. It was their second night at Paradiso and they were hyper active (especially Ricky, but that's a common fact.) They had two support acts: 1990s (no "the" and no ' ) and The Apples In Stereo. 1990s were great as well. The drummer was very handsome (Esmee does agree with me) and we recognized the guitarist as ex-member of the Yummy Fur. If you watch the only video of the Yummy Fur on YouTube, he's the one with the round glasses. We recognized him by his teeth. Whatever, not many people attended their show, but the ones who were there probably enjoyed it. At least I did. Even though I only knew the last song they played.
The second supporters, Apples in Stereo, were rubbish. They didn't play with the energy 1990s and Kaiser Chiefs had. The sound was way too loud and their music not very interesting. They had two keyboard players, but they played the tambourine more often than the keyboards. I was glad when they finished.
The Chiefs were fabulous. I saw them at Tivoli last november, but this show was really explosive. I was sandwiched a bit by a lot of Brits (they tend to be everywhere in Amsterdam) and turned sweaty all over in no time. And every song they played was chanted by the whole room. After they had left the stage, the audience started singing "The Angry Mob". They returned, and played Angry Mob and Oh My God. Just a great show, a spectacular light show as well! We left the building with a set list and two picks. After a long time the first Chiefs appeared outside. We bothered Nick and Whitey with requests for autographs. A lot of minutes later the remaining Chiefs came and signed as well. I've got two signed albums now.

The day after was a bit hard. With hardly five hours of sleep I dragged myself to school to go to Amsterdam again. We went to Shell for a workshop. It was a lot of fun, even the presentation of the subject. Even in ENGLISH. And even with my voice. I sound like someone who has smoked too much. And I can't say or sing anything above a certain frequency. And that frequency is quite low.
