UYE Hot Breath Karaoke @ The Legion

Seriously, what a fantastic karaōke find Hot Breath is. And making the karaōke experience even better was hanging out with you Unilocaling lot.
Even if I’m still a bit bummed out that the Hot Breath team picked my back-​up karaōke song choice — Weezer’s Say It Aint So — instead of the one I really WANTED to sing — Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean (which is, by far, the superior karaōke song) — at least I know what my ONE karaōke song will be next time!
Also, I promise to get drunker next time so that my karaōke crooning skillz are more fabulous and entertaining. No one likes a karaōke singer who sounds sober. Not even me. Plus, it’ll make my moonwalk extra special. Because my moonwalk is actually pretty rubbish. But hysterics will ensue if I attempt it whilst drunk. Especially if I’m wearing heels.
All this aside, what great venues are the Dragon Bar and the Legion? They were awesomely down-​to-​earth but classy at the same time!

What better way to spend a Tuesday evening than to be among Unilocal buddies discussing the best place to source nose rings with Lizzie G, sharing a kebab or 2 with Laura N, watching Leon C mix paracetamol with alcohol and live to tell the tale, amaze at Larissa D walk up and down and back up Old Street on her amazing heels with no problem and marvel at Sarah S’s dance moves.
Yup another great UYE, which started with drinks at Dragon Bar mark 2 (Lizzie!), a stroll up and down Old Street to find The Legion before getting up on the stage, belting some tunes and spinning the wheel! Sadly, the tardy service at Shish across the road cost me a chance to share my dulcet tones! But I had a blast supporting the others.
Come on, London Unilocalers, get down to the next UYE!

UYE Hot Breath Karaōke rocked!!! After a long day at work, I wasn’t sure I’d be able to muster the energy to sing my little heart out. Unilocalers really know how to motivate new friends. We may have been a small group in numbers but we were big in spirit. Laura brought back some stylin’ moves, Larissa serenaded us with Say it Ain’t So and Lizzie may as well have been Dolly herself. Last time I sang karaōke I was shaking in my boots, but Leon C. and I braved the stage and sang Alphabeat’s Fascination. Unilocalers had the front row and I have videos to prove it.
Looking forward to Unilocalers taking over the next Hot Breath Karaōke session, I vote Yee Gan be the first to the mic!

Workin’ 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin’… la la la…
I’m a little shy when it comes to karaōke (you’d never guess though) and going to Hot Breathe as a UYE made me feel a lot better. For one, it’s always good to sing in front of friends as you get more ‘whoops’ and secondly, Unilocalers do better on the nerves than a couple of Tom Collins.
We had some pre-​singing bravery drinks and Larissa D and Yee Gan O luckily found their way even though I posted it at the wrong address — d’oh, but hanging out and catching up was great. Sarah S and Leon C rocked hard on the dance floor and Laura N left a happy lady with here Hot Breathe poncho — score!
Until next time … And IIIIIIIIIII… IIIIIIIIIII will always love Yoooooooouuuuuuuuuu…

When else can you pretend to be 8-​year-​old Michael Jackson, get asked a creepy Michael Jackson trivia question (NO, MJ didn’t try to buy the bones of the world’s smallest man…) and win… drumrolllllllllllllllllll…
A SWEET HOT BREATH KARAOKE PONCHO?
Only at a Unilocal UYE folks. This is where the magic happens. Especially when Laura Jackson, Lizzie Parton, Larissa Wheez and Leon Alpha & Sarah Beat get down and dirty.
That poncho shook me all night long, I’ll tell you that for free.

Fear creeps over me at the thought of having to sing in public. Yet encouraged enthusiastically by screaming Unilocalamaniacs and fuelled by a bottle of wine, Sarah S and I sang our hearts out to Alphabeat’s Fascination at the Legions Hot Breath Karaōke. We even won a deck of animal playing cards to boot. I enjoyed it so much I wanted to continue singing, but unfortunately there was only time to sing once.
Not to be out done fellow Unilocalers Laura N, Lizzie G and Larissa D all sang solo and totally rocked the house. My only disappointment was not seeing Yee Gan strut his stuff. He supported us all vehemently, but had to leave before his opportunity to sing came. I have little doubt he’ll be first in the queue next time
Like all good Unilocalers, even out of the limelight we danced like dervishes and kicked it like a mule on the dance floor. I can say with absolute confidence, that all in attendance had a thoroughly good night.
