Last night I went to an exclusive intimate
gig for Original Penguin’s plugged in sessions. Showcasing grime rapper Devlin, and fifties
revivalist Willy Moon, (his single Yeah Yeah is currently the soundtrack to the
latest Apple iPod advert) the concert was filmed by Virgin Media and was hosted
at The Hospital Club in Covent Garden.
I went with my old friend Matt who I used to
work with at a Topshop. Matt now runs a men’s style guide website called
Mansnaps (check it out!) and was invited to the show. Lucky for me he chose me
as his plus one… Yippee!
Devlin performed some tracks from his new
album ‘A Moving Picture’ which is due for release at the beginning of
February.
(Yes, that's me with the blonde bun!)
Performing 'Rewind'
I really enjoyed ‘Rewind’, but ‘Off With
Their Heads’ is still one of my favs from Devlin! For those of you who aren’t familiar
with these singles I’ve uploaded the music vids below.
Rewind
Off With Their Heads
Devlin and Willy Moon both delivered an amazing performance; their energy rubbed off on the crowd and we were all swaying with our hands in the air throughout the whole concert.
Original Penguin also gave out some goody
bags, which had some cool little treats inside…
Free bar, free gear and a bit of UK hip-hop…. Not bad for a Monday night ay!
