Melbourne Cup. The race that stops a nation. It happened over a week ago but the hint of fancy hats is still in the air. I didn't quite make it to Flemington this year but I did remember to watch the race before heading to the pub. But I digress.
The night before the cup, it always feels a little strange to come home from work, change into funky night attire and hit the town. It's a Monday night after all and I haven't gone out on a Monday night with the intention of getting blotto and staying up past 10pm since my uni days.
Anyway, this year on cup eve, a few of us headed to the Birmingham to hear Foxx on Fire. I must admit I hadn't heard much (if anything) about said band. They were a treat, and launching their EP 'White Sands'. The sweaty back room of the pub was full of folks out for a good time and Foxx on Fire was the perfect band to play the soundtrack. Some of their songs reminded me of the latest Rapture album and many songs proved dance-able which is always a plus in my book. (Oh, and they are pretty easy on the eye too...) Have a listen to their stuff on myspace. Go on.
