Belle & Sebastian – The Boy With The Arab Strap
Royal Albert Hall
London, UK
6/29/01
Belle & Sebastian are playing a unique show this evening at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. If you don’t live in Los Angeles, you may find it strange that a cemetery is hosting Belle & Sebastian, but Hollywood Forever is probably the only cemetery that has a “Cultural Events” section listed on their website. During the run of the summer, they show films on the lawn every weekend evening so tonight also includes a screening of Trainspotting. Seeing that it will be 50 degrees and rainy this evening, we’ll probably forgo the film but there’s no way we’ll be skipping our chance to see Belle & Sebastian in what I’m guessing is their first cemetery performance. And I’m sure there will be plenty of jokes about how audiences in Los Angeles stand around and looking dead.
