Now as soon as I walked through the doors of Stiff Kitten everything got a little hazy (that was maybe something to do with the shots of jaeger we’d downed before we went out, but who knows? ) - so forgive me for the lack of any great detail in this review. However, anyone who knows me knows that Stiff is my all time favourite place to drink; it’s dark, it’s dingy and it’s filled with good times and last Friday 10th May was certainly no different.
Little Miss Stakes tore up the stage, with lots of UV lights and strobes, but BeeMickSee and Paul Denver really stole the show as far as support was concerned. There’s something heart warming about seeing a skinny white boy (in the most endearing way possible) strut around the stage with the audience in the palm of his hand – and that’s exactly what the Oregon born Belfast boy did. It was slightly surreal and very very entertaining (it’s not everyday that you see an artist end his set by slithering off stage on his belly).
Next up were the boys themselves,; pyjama bottomed, top hatted and all sequined up. There’s not really much point in even attempting to describe a Mental Def gig, but this one had it all – tons of energy, catchy songs, extravagant costumes and respect for women.
Mental Def are five years strong, and hopefully they'll be around for a hell of a lot longer. With them you'll be guaranteed a good night out. You may not remember it. But it'll be good nonetheless.

I'm 20 years old, studying Journalism with Photo-Imaging at the University of Ulster Coleraine Campus. I have an undying love for Belfast and all that it has to offer, an undying love for sleeping, Tegan and Sara, trashy tv shows, foreign snack-foods and being irresponsible with money. I also quite like origami, reading, hip-hop, dubstep, anything acoustic and Food Network TV.
