The Wombats

After much anticipation, we finally got to see one of our favourite bands, 'The Wombats', live in concert here in Prague. Jon had known about this concert long before we moved to Prague and we had been looking forward to it ever since we read "Prague, Lucerna Music Bar", on their list of tour dates. Needless to say, we were not disappointed! The music was first rate and the band put on a good show with plenty of interesting antics by the bass player. The concert was full of underage 'hipsters', flaunting their fluro colours and screaming madly for the band. We had prime position for the concert on the balcony overlooking the stage with a full view of all three band members as well as the crazy 'mosh pit'.

The band really was as good live as they are on their CD, which is always a good sign. Although their new music was fantastic, it was the older songs that stole the show, with 'Lets Dance to Joy Division' being my personal favourite of the night. 

Before the show, we went out for dinner to a popular cafe called Cafe Lourve. Franz Kafka and Albert Einstein used to be regulars at this cafe, making it all the more popular for people to visit these days. The coffee is delicious and they have a great range of yummy cakes too, but on this occasion we were there for dinner. Dinner was delicious and we followed it with a walk through the Christmas markets in Old Town Square. This was our first experience with the Prague Christmas markets and the beautiful traditional tree in Old town Square really took our breath away (pictures to follow). 

We had a great night out and really enjoyed being able to see one of our favourite bands here in Prague.
