I was going to do a gig review for my Friday night's gig which was great fun, but the last few days have been a bit hectic, with school and car accidents (unrelated, I hasten to add).
All I will say is this: The Feeling are great live. They put on a show and have some excellent tunes. No, they aren't musical pioneers, but that's not the point (if you go along expecting this, then you are frankly an idiot). A show that left you feeling warm, and that the money had been well spent. Nobody got preachy, the band seemed to be enjoying themselves and no-one acted like arrogant fools. The Fray, as a support band, I'm afraid I found a bit dull...
Keep watching this space. There will be more music soon. I cannot see the madness evaporating, but it might subside. A bit. Hopefully...

I never liked The Feeling, but then I do like The Fratellis who are essentially the same thing. And I suppose, to a certain extent, Maximo Park, The Bravery and a few others. Bands don't have to be earth-shaking pioneers to be hugely enjoyable.
That said, The Feeling - still not my cup of tea, but I know what you mean.
If I had had time to write a full review, I suppose I might have spent time analysing why I might not be meant to like The Feeling. I like The Fratellis too - Chelsea Dagger is a great record.
One man's sonic pioneer is another's guilty pleasure!
