After the gig..

The BMI Showcase went pretty well.

Except for a few things obviously but that's always the case. 

We had a bit of a weird start to the evening though..we arrived at the Cobden Club in Notting Hill and there was a stage, a sound-guy, another band sound checking, so when the band before us were done we started to set our gear up...cables, amps, drum kit, the whole thing. Its not FUN...really, its hard work.

Anyway, just as we are about to start playing a song there's this guy coming up and asks if we're Foxtrot Bravo? -Yeah?..

-You're in the wrong place. You're playing upstairs in the big club

-Doooooh..

We had to take all our stuff down, carry it to the second floor and start all over again.

Luckily I got this picture of a funny fish..

TONIGHT!

We're on at 10pm!

Set list:

HEART IN A BOX

I know I was moaning about the very short set before...but hey, that was before I realised that Arsenal plays Man United tonight. I would have refused to do more than 4 songs if I knew that.

Now you know.

BMI Showcase

Hello!

Just found out that our set at the Cobden Club on Wednesday will be a rather short one..
We're playing 4 songs... That kinda sucks?!
So we're bringing all our gear, drums and bass amps to west London..and our gig will be approx 15 minutes. Oh the JOY!

I guess we could add a 'experimental new age' part to one of the songs and just..jam.. but theres nothing I dislike more than bands that jam ..ugh..I even dislike the word JAM.

If the Ramones or Guided by Voices were on the same bill their set would be 5-6 minutes so I guess if could be worse.

1-2-3-4

Hello!

At the moment we're going punkrock. Bass panned to the left speaker, guitars to the right, drums in the middle! Organ? You kidding.

Gig at the BMI place in West London on Wednesday!

The day after..

...the gig..

Headache, full of cold, tiered after lifting heavy amps etc etc.

It was good though. Perhaps not AS good as I mentioned in a previous post "An Epic gig" or something like that...but still a good start and I have a sneaky feeling that the NEXT gig, at the BMI showcase, will be ....EPIC!

GIG at Zigfrid Von Underbelly..

I got the flyer for our gig at Zigfrid Von Underbelly on Wednesday so thought I'd better post it here.. We will be on stage at 9pm...and I have a feeling that it will be our best gig ever. No, its true..an Epic gig!

LOST

So..while the KLAXONS were busy polishing their Mercury Award next door, we spent 9 hours eating nuts and drinking wine waiting for the lovely Ben to arrive.
He never did and we haven't heard from him since.
Should probably call the police but will leave it until tonight..

Where can he be I wonder?
Anyone with information of his whereabouts can you please contact the local animal rescue service in Hackney!
