Boom-chucka-viiiibe!
I was at a gallery space in the Old Truman Brewery last night and after taking in all that I could of the up and coming artists (impressive and a bit confusing), a couple of us made our way to Vibe for a drink. The atmosphere was strangely quiet when we stepped in, but I soon realised that was because there was a young bloke on stage about to launch into an audience participation beat boxing activity. It is pretty unnerving to be asked to impersonate a snare before you've even got your first drink.
Once settled on some comfy seats, we listened to about an hour of AMAZING human beat-boxing by 3 different artists - one of them a girl with a crazily good voice. Again, a bit confusing but very impressive. There was a brilliant vibe in the place, laid back but funky. I don't know how the night progressed because we left when the entertainers did at about 10pm but I will definitely be going back.
