Am I the first to post a report? ;D
Despite having to wait nearly two hours to get inside the Scala and wait for the band to appear, this rocked so goddam hard.
Shirley was on top form, obviously enjoying herself a lot. Songs included Bad Boyfriend, Bleed Like Me, and Sex is Not the Enemy, along with old favourites like Push It, Stupid Girl, and Special.
I don't have any pics to post though (loads of people had cameras though, so no doubt there'l be plenty of other pics), as I decided not to risk taking my digital and only took a disposable one.

i can't WAIT till Philly-- do you remember what songs from each album they played? was it varied from the Paris setlist? I was just wondering if they're gonna mix it up on this tour like they did for BG... I'd appreciate some variety, since i'm going to 2 shows.

THe opening with queer was amazing, I was at the front of the venue, which I MUST add is tiny!!!!!! Bad boyfriend launched the crowd into a frenzy, the whole band was brill, and a special mention to eric who did so so well, good day good sir!

The gig was my first ever garbage live experience - wow! They were fantastic, and the venue was amazing. I recorded the whole thing on my newly bought MP3 stick thing, but it has come out sounding like I was underwater. Did anyone manage to record it?
I loved the free badges and will be wearing my t-shirt proudly today.
See you at Brixton!

O my god. It was amazing! Shirley was wearing a black sleeveless minidress (possibly same style as she wore in Paris?), it was very short and had a cut-out back. And she wore a wide dark brown belt, fishnets and a cool square red ring. On the ring-less hand she wore a stripey long glove thing. I couldn't see her shoes because I'm too short Her hair was the same as in Paris (half pony-tail with a long fringe) and her eyes were amazing, sparkly dark-purple/black eyeshadow WOW! She looked so hot. Edit - Ok so I've just noticed there's photos up already of her outfit. But I like my description so I'm leaving it it up. I haven't got a digital camera so I'm taking my film down to be processed today, hopefully I'll have some pics to post later. I gave my camera to my brother to take pics because he's tall but unfortunately he didnt get as close as I did. I hope there's at least a few good ones. As far as I can remember, the setlist was the same as Paris, but instead of playing Cherry Lips as part of the main set, they played it as an encore instead of #1 Crush. So we had one song less. I loved all the new BLM songs live, possibly my favourite was Right Between The Eyes because she sang it directly to the audience, like picking people out to sing different lines to. And I swear she was crying at the end of it, tears were welling in her eyes. Also before Bleed Like Me, she said it was for all the fans who'd stuck by them ;D. Bad Boyfriend was amazing too. Dammit I loved them all! Merchandise: there were 2 styles of t-shirt, plain black with grey 'garbage' on front and grey 'bleed like me' on back (this is what I got ;D) or black with a white design front and back (couldn't see what pic was though). They were £15. And there was one type of poster: That was £3 but I got it free ;D because I'm special. In the queue girls were handing out loads of badges (pink wdylm and red blm) and stickers (pink heart shaped wdylm) and flyers for blm. So fun stuff to collect. It was cool to meet you sparkll (for 30 secs before you had to go to vip!) you lucky bitch! Have a lovely birthday

Yeah, it was a fantastic gig, wasn't it?! The new songs ROCK!! And shirl completely fucked up Push It, that was hilarious!
Did anyone else manage to meet them after? There was a fairly large crowd round the back - shirl must have spent half an hour making sure eveyone got an autograph! I got a photo with her too!

That sucks....they didn't come out till about midnight, so I just managed it before I had to leave to get last tube home - will post pics as soon as they are developed! (took my crappy old camera as didn't want to risk my digital, but I was right at the front near Duke, so the pics should be ok!)

I had VIP Access so I met them before the show!! They were sooo nice! They shook my hand and gave me their autographs!!! It was so cool!!! I didn't take a picture with them though, which I regret now.
The gig was amazing!!! And shirley looked really pretty in her black short dress and long red hair!!! I agree, it was fun when she messed up Push It and laid down on the floor in shame until the song finished... haha!

Thank you garbagegirl, great to meet you too, you looked lovely I might add!!! It was brilliant at the aftershow party!!! I went to go get a tshirt and poster after the gig, I was sure the band wouldnt come to after so I askedthe roadies for a plectrum or something, the guy said it was all packed! I went back up to the bar and butch was standing on the stairs I was shaking so much, the others followed, but I didnt meet steve?? Happy Birthday to me!

I wanted to meet the band, but had to leave right after they left the stage as it's a weekday.
