My Life Story live at Koko

Click here to listen to the interview

Britpop protagonists My Life Story may have "split up" nine years ago but they still get together every now and then for the fun of it. Getting eleven people together for a gig is easier than getting them together for a pint or a curry, apparently!

Former Phoenix FM presenter and My Life Story's lead singer and mainstay Jake Shillingford was on fine form, having a chat with us about his previous memories of Koko, releasing internet-only singles when other bands didn't even have websites, and Chøppersaurus! Come on, you have to be curious at that last one ...

Tonight was MLS's only live show of the year and their first for two years. In front of a packed house the band knocked out debut album Mornington Crescent ... rather appropriate since we were within a stone's throw of that very tube station. The sound at the venue was fantastic, definitely doing justice to the excellent orchestration. And there were plenty of high kicks and bah bah bahs, so a good night out really ...

The band's Myspace can be found here, Jake Shillingford's solo site is here and as for Chøppersaurus ...



Well someone's going to have to tell him how to dress ... pinstripes should do it



















There you go! Pinstripes!
