How cool to see your Idol and good friends. I really love going to see new bands and some new bands are really great performers but there is nothing like seeing good seasoned musicians. I love watching Steve Stevens play guitar – you really feel like he and his guitar are one. It’s like a master class in old school rock ‘n’ roll. You know they could just walk their way through their set but they’re major league and give you 110%, and of course Billy Idol has a better body then most 20 years!

Merchant of Bollywood & De Wayne

Posted by Rebekah Roy on December 30th, 2006

Met up with De Wayne, we met a couple of years ago working together on the Billy Idol tour. He was in London this week working on Merchants of Bollywood at the HammerSmith Apollo (where The Feeling will be playing Feb 2nd & 3rd!!!). Anyway it was a great show. I have never seen so many sequince costumes! And tons of costume changes, thank god for Velcro.

I could take any good pics of the show, too much white light for my mobile. Anyway the pictures in the pub were better!

B Rude Boy George

Posted by Rebekah Roy on September 23rd, 2006

I was going to see the show Victim, it wasn’t going to start until B Rude finished, so I went to see what all the excitement was about.

“You have to hand it to Boy George. Although the karma chameleon has a
court case looming (for drug possession and filing a false police
report), he still managed to fly to London to stage the debut of
B-Rude. The label, which has shown twice in New York already.” www.fuk.co.uk

More cool shoes. Eddyfink,
this is one of my favourite bands, or to be more precise favourite group of
people who is a band. I think when I came back from my Billy Idol tour I was
“band sick”, ok, so most people get home sick – which since I love
hotels I’m never home sick. But I did miss hanging out with musicians and not
in a groupie infatuation kind of way. Hmmm a stylist without a band, I felt a
bit like “six characters in search of an author” – stylist in search
of a band. Well since I met this band I feel a bit more at home. You can see
them on Saturday September 9th at the Bar Fly near Camden.

Brian Tichy & Toast videoing

I’ve been trying to get a good picture of Brian, but I get lots of motion blur partially beacuse of my camera but also beacuse he’s moving so blood fast.

And the word "Exit" for the Exit Festival, even the security guards were labeled exit on the back of their shirts. Good branding!

This is Matt Young aka Toast, he plays drums during Mony Mony. He’s also security/Tour assistant to Mr Idol and plays drums with his own band. He’s great to work with, I totally adore him.

This is me and — who gave us all a ride back to our hotel as we were unable to hail a taxi. He love the show. It really is a cool experience to watch it from on stage. Of course it’s great fun to be in the audience and just have a great night out dancing way, watching your Idol and hanging out with friends.
