Taken from Edgar Wright's blog from http://www.shaunsquad.com:
Not only that but the boys from ace Scottish band Idlewild came too. With all the crazy cats and a packed house at the Arclight - this was all a bit too much....
Swearing that I would just go for 'one drink' back near the hotel, I ended up having a mini adventure that lasted til 5-45am. First I sped over to the Whiskey Bar to see Mr Godrich, who was there with David Holmes cohorts (all working on Oceans 12) and the Idlewild boys.
As soon as I got there it was last call at the bar. What? Was this like London or something? Did they not get the memo about me needing to get slaughtered?
Plan B was for me and Idlewild to head back to the party central that is the Standard. Joining us were Doomval, Richard 'Way Hot' Kelly and their good pal Chris 'Superhunk' Ogilvy. (God, L.A makes me feel out of shape. When in London I consider myself a little out of shape and make mental notes every five minutes to work on my Adam West. When I come to California I feel like one of the Klumps. Dang!)
Plan C involved heading back to Idlewild's hotel - The Renaissance, although this involved a half hour detour to get Vodka from Chris's and mixers from Ralphs. In our car was Gavin, the only non Scottish member of Idlewild. Irish sexpot Gavin is a shit hot / white hot and way hot bassist - who also plays with my girlfriends beat combo back in Blighty. He also looks like David Essex / Johnny Depp in From Hell and knows his Beat Takeshis from his Takeshi Miikes.
