My camerawork went extremely strange a few minutes in - I'm not sure exactly why - but hang in there as it gets a lot saner afterwards. I had only been using it for a couple of weeks, so I'm very much learning as I go.

And any chance you get to see Helsinki live in any form, you should take it.

Helsinki - batterieswerentdead and Ampersand, Dingwalls 13.03.08 from nearer dark on Vimeo.

Helsinki's set was beautiful, batterieswerentdead was epic, my film doesn't really do it justice.

I did temporarily know the full name of Matt's wah pedal, but I forgot to do the writing things down thing. It's the one he's using on Ampersand.

If you're reading this before Sunday 27 April, get yourself down to Victoria Park, Hackney, for the Love Music Hate Racism Carnival that day - Helsinki are playing, there's tons of other great music too, it's going to be a very special day. And also a very important day - find out more here: LMHR Carnival 2008.
