Quasi at Norwich Arts Centre

On Thursday 12th December 2013 I attended the Quasi gig at Norwich Arts Centre with support from Girl in a Thunderbolt. This was the last Twee Off night after four years of amazing gigs and nearly one hundred different acts.

Girl in a Thunderbolt is Norwich singer Maria Uzor who gave us an amazing set of songs to warm us up for the main act. Tracks like War Cry, Dopamine and Runaway were very well received at the St. Benedict's Street venue.

Quasi are Ex-husband and wife Sam Coomes and Janet Weiss who were touring their latest album Mole City. They have an amazing history of being in acts as legendary as Sleater-Kinney, Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, Elliot Smith, John Doe, Pink Mountains, Wild Flag and Built To Spill. In addition they have played as Quasi for twenty years and released eight albums.

Quasi were brilliant and gave us a night of Visceral Trash Music. See You On Mars, Our Happiness Is Guaranteed and I Never Want to See You Again are all fantastic tracks. Quasi finished the gig with an encore of War Pigs and Let's Get It On covers. This was night when Norwich Arts Centre belonged to Portland, Oregon.

Prim Vintage Fashion putting the cool into Norwich!

Prim Vintage Fashion, St Benedict's Street, Norwich

If you want to know where the girl in the poem got her flowered vintage dress from that turned all the heads look no further then Prim Vintage Fashion on St Benedict's Street, Norwich.

There are vintage clothes from the 1930's to the 1980's. Don't shop anywhere else for your vintage clothing needs. For both gals and guys this is the place to go in Norwich if you want to look cool.

For gals there are vintage dresses, accessories and much more. For the guys there are shirts, knitwear and a 1970's style basement.

It's never dull on St Benedict's Street!

On St Benedict's Street you can drink and be merry at the Ten Bells. Wander down the street to Rumbling Tum for something to eat. Go to Soundclash for the latest cool tunes then cross the road to the Arts Centre and see the band live.

The Bicycle Shop is not what it seems. Drink wine as you remember when it was a bicycle shop with vintage cycling posters and bike-wheel lampshades decorating the walls.

Amaze your friends by hiring fancy dress from Top Hat. You can be a cowboy or an indian. Boats n Bits will help you get on the water.

If you are from Denton, Texas you will be amazed you might even see Roscoe walking along the street. It's a special place to celebrate with lots of character. It's never dull on St Benedict's Street. It's full of charm and variety.
