Drugstore

Birmingham Flapper & Firkin

28 February 2001

As at most of the gigs on this tour, Isabel was positively glowing...

... and Daron was in great voice too, here playing his electric Gibson Les Paul.

Ian still does his usual great stuff on the cello.

Mike's in good form too. He's also now produced a solo EP under the name of Land Speed Record, and there's a lot more to that than just drumming!

Matt 'Matador' Aulich is now a familiar member of the lineup, here taking up the bass for El President.

Isabel and Daron singing in beautiful harmony, while Daron and Matt both play electric guitars.

I love your brown eyes - you can move closer to me anytime! :)

Here's Mike again, note the different drumsticks he's using on this number.

That bass gets around! Here's Ian pumping out the rhythm, which he now does to accompany Plastic Jesus as well as Say Hello.

Later, Daron sings as he plays his Marlin acoustic. Unlike Matt, he chooses to sit while playing this instrument...

... whereas Matt plays his Marlin standing up. Also note the lighter finish of Matt's model.

Isabel still plays the kazoo, while Daron grooves away by her side.

Matt takes up the Fender Jaguar as Mike strikes out the rhythm.

Drugstore have made much more use of keyboards on this tour. Several of the new songs have piano parts, many of these played by Ian as seen here.

In addition to the various types of drumstick he uses on different numbers, Mike plays these cymbals by hand on one of the songs.

Isabel attacks Pinochet with the shaker on El President.

Daron's still singing as he wields that axe.

Matt again plays electric while Ian plays keys. But is that a ghost by his side in the hat? :)

Finally Isabel again, passionate as ever. Thanks to everyone in the band, as well as tour stalwarts Bambino and Sam, for another great gig.
