Monday 29th January saw The Shed at the Album Chart Show as Guest VIPs. We thought it would be a great opportunity to help fulfil the musical element of this blog whilst allowing us to post some nice, blurry photos of the bands (taken by Yours Truly). We got to applaud, scream and cheer at nothing while the cameras flew around, creating some lovely kinetic aerial shots. 
When the bands came on it was strictly business. Fallout Boy opened with their latest single, This Ain't A Scene, followed by another track from their forthcoming album. They then strolled off quickly, without a single word or gesture. Cheers, guys! 
Far more animated were The Klaxons who followed after another
20 minutes of sporadic clapping and whooping at the hype guy on stage. Belting out the first single from their debut album Myths Of The Near Future, the band managed to demonstrate why they're possibly one to watch this year and in-yes-the near future.
Next up was Lady Sovereign whose album isn't out over here yet, so the crowd reaction was pretty subdued. Despite this, her performance was pretty good, justifying her recent Stateside signing with Def Jam records.
Rounding off the evening were headliners, The Feeling. Predictably, the performance wasn't overwhelming, but then this was only a recording for a Channel 4 music show, not an all out gig.
Still, the band jumped around the stage like they were enjoying themselves and were the only group to actually engage with the audience.
So, all in all a good night, especially for presenter Joe Mace, who we think might just have the easiest job in the world since we barely saw him for the entirety of the evening. Keep it real, Mace!!The last in the current series of The Album Chart Show will be on Channel 4, 2pm this Saturday. Look out for us!
