review

You know that feeling when you’ve got completely trolleyed the night before, life feels a poor imitation of itself and all you want to do is hide under the duvet until it goes away, gripping to the thought that tomorrow will be a better day...? Now imagine if your job was to get up on stage in your pants and entertain people, and you feel that trashed but you really can’t throw a sickie cos it’s not exactly a 9 to 5 situation... Such was the unhappy circumstance that befell Mr. Sean Tillman aka Har Mar Superstar tonight. As he stepped up on stage he warned us: “It was my birthday last night. As you can imagine, a lotta shit went up my nose...”. Uh-oh...

It had kinda seemed a long wait between support the Ping Pong Bitches (twice in one week? Whatever I did in a previous life to deserve this, I repent, I repent!) and Har Mar coming on, and when he appeared his face had the ashen pallor and haunted look of a very chemical night before. He still danced like the coolest kid in the class, sung his caddish love-raps and gave forth a stream of lascivious disco banter, but he was in truth a shadow of his former self. With a couple of bursts of audience-snogging, a whizz through his set and a quick strip (“I wouldn’t let you guys down”), he scooted off a mere half hour or so after coming on. He was functioning on auto-pilot tonight but god knows we’ve all been there, and fortunately in Brighton we know and love Har Mar - he’s played here that often in the last 6 or 7 months and serenaded that many a holidaying clubber in Ibiza, why he’s as Brighton as the souped-up boy racers hurtling up and down outside. Doctor Bec recommends some vitamin C and a nice lie down...
