Katy Perry
London Camden Koko
26th February, 2009

To an intro of Killer Queen, Katy and her four-piece in glo-stick trimmed suits kicked off at 9:15 and belted out 15 songs in 75 minutes, sending the mostly teen crowd into a frenzy. Adorned in a spangly one-piece, the arch-minx laid out her stall with the Avril-like Fingerprints, engaging in tongue-in-cheek banter before a giant pussy (cat). One Of The Boys spoke volumes as she led a mass pogo, and Hot And Cold continued the perfect electropop vein. The new wave Self- Inflicted saw Katy atop the speakers and a singalong Waking Up In Vegas stood out from lesser-lauded tunes like the acoustic Lost (Katy on guitar) and latest single, Thinking Of You (thoughtful Alanis). The band returned for Mannequin and the arms-asway You’re So Gay, before giant plastic strawberries were tossed during If You Can Afford Me. An encore saw Katy don a leopardprint suit and rock out on Queen’s Don’t Stop Me Now, before a final chap-stick toting I Kissed A Girl.
