This night will really speak for itself through the pictures I took - so much colour and cool going on I didn't know when to stop... But as I like to ramble I would like quickly to mention a few of my highlights from that evening.. and don't worry if all these pictures and words leave you feeling frustrated that you missed such an event; Pat and Trevor is back with a vengeance on the 12th of May to support Au Revoir Simone so it's all good, more musical mayhem this way a comin'...
I enjoyed meeting Jimmy Jules and Jack; the brains behind the Pat and Trevor phenomenon. Whether it was their enthusiasm, their musical and artistic talent or Jimmy's hair that got me most excited, it doesn't really matter.. these boys are in it to win it and provided a night to be proud of.. In a time when Pink Floyd covers pronounce again that 'we don't need no education' these boys take a newer, fresher approach where school is obviously doing something right.. They are all studying at the London College of Communication in Illustration or Interactive Design and it would be hard to ignore the influence that these passions take on their musical escapades. The Pat and Trevor night is as much about music as it is live arts - an interactive experience of sound and vision and all power to them for joining the two so well. While waiting for the venue to fill up, at no point did I drag my heels..
I was either caught investigating possibly the coolest toy/lighting piece/antique memorabilia I have ever seen. Not only a wonderful little piece in its own right, it created a cunning effect as it was projected onto the stage area window..The projected image changed depending on which on-toy camera was used for the live feed. Hard to describe, but visually entertaining on all accounts..
And just as you turned your head while marvelling at this, within a few feet of each other were two screens that not only projected an image of yourself as you walked by (a large scale re-creation of the experience you have when you enter into Curry's on the high street, seeing yourself but hunting for the how, where?..) Well this was that, but it also doubled up as a screen throwing out silhouettes of various performers as they stood behind it and danced and moved ..
There were shoes in the hall but not any old shoes, looooong shoes;
pink lights flooding the hallway,
wigwams and old school exercise bikes..And that's before we start on the music..
In the Dj booth we were graced with the mixed genre selections on The Holy Triangles. These boys refused to be musically labelled but I distinctly remember a Led Zep track playing alongside some hip hop and punk - eclecticism clearly key here.. I can't find their pictures! I'll have to post them with next one.. as a preview to...
the next chance you have to see these boys play. Their Crystal Vision night hits the ICA in the not too distant future.Keep up to pace with this lot through their myspace.com/theholytriangles..........
In the DJ box we also had the Coconut Twins giving it a little cha cha with their gold chains.. definitely respecting their style,
but visually my eyes were tiring after the spectacle that was Yoko Ohno! and Dandi Wind. Yoko and Dandi took full pride in making the most of the space flying here there and everywhere.. Dandi wearing feathers and Yoko dashing, darting, downright demolishing the space..he is representing 'all the colours of the rambo' after all..It was all quite the vision.. 
Couldn't resist to show you his take home outfit too - full brownie points for this universal number..
Dandi's entire act impressed me much - as it clearly did this promiscuous bystander,
So much fun...
I couldn't get enough of all the fabulous expressions Dandi pops out from somewhere deep in that big person little package gig.. but here are a few of my favourites..and hello? Hot outfits.
I think that's about it.. Just remember not to miss the next one ladies and gents - who knows what will be up next time.............
If you were one of the many beauties there that night - patience please my people's blog IS on it's way.. And it will be worth the wait. Full marks to much of the dressing from that night - when was the last time I saw a beehive this impressive? Outside of an ITV 50's drama, that's a negative.
