A welcome break from our first week, which was filled with blurry nights at the student union, my birthday celebrations at sixties jam night Snobs and an evening dedicated to our new house crush, Kelis.
This involved a venture to the re-opening of Birmingham’s HMV institute, which in the last thirty years has made a significant impact on the city’s music scene. Hosting bands in the past like Pink Floyd, The Cure and Joni Mitchell, the former Methodist church now boasts a sleek, glitzy re-vamp. the multi-million pound refurbishment has restored the buildings period features and created three main rooms: The Library, The Institute and The Temple.
Cattishly clad in leopard print, outrageously studded platforms and hooped earrings the smoky-eyed girls of 250 went, saw and conquered. Kelis, looking stunning in a violet velvet mini dress and appropriate chunky bling, performed song after song, dancing all night long and left her audience screaming for more. The highlight for me had to be a mix of Madonna’s classic, ‘Holiday’ and ‘Milkshake’. Wow.
She will be hard to beat, performance wise though I am lucky enough to be gigging again this Saturday with the boyf and Australian band The Cat Empire (mix of Reggae, Ska, Jazz and Latin- soooo excited!) may give the booty-shaking sex siren a run for her money.
