jane and i went to see the kaiser chiefs on thursday night.  they were most excellent and it was great to see them in a smallish venue before they do their big stadium tour

at one point the singer managed to convince the crowd to part and make a pathway so he could run to the back of the hall.  he then ‘swam’ back along the top of the crowd.

as for the audience itself, it was made up of young people of all ages from about 5 up to 60+.  All singing along and punching the air. very bizarre.
