To all of you who came down on Saturday night at The Cluny, thankyou so much. I don’t know about anyone else but I thought it was a great night, with awesome support from The Vegas Fame Index (all the way from Norwich!) and local boys The Pilots. Blinding set by The Soviets, if I wasn’t already wet from the rank weather, I was by the end of the night from the typical throw- your -fist -in –the-air-but-shit-there’s-a-pint-in-my-hand Soviets manner. They had a tight re-jigged set and the tunes are getting more polished than Jade Goody’s head .
I included a few new bits and bobs to my set…a couple of new tunes ‘Sun’ ,‘All good time’ and ‘Factories’ putting in an appearance. I think it’s getting there…I’m still new to this band thing, but we’re working on it good and proper. Still so desperate to get in to the bloody studios..yep haven’t been in yet!!! After making a wee bit of profit on the door from Saturday, I hope it’s my turn to get a few tracks down. I’m ready to start layering up a few of my songs, getting some piano and various bits of hand percussion involved…which unfortunately I cant really do in the gigs because I don’t have enough hands! (and I cant afford a loop pedal……rubbish…anyone got one they fancy lending us for a few weeks?!?..worth a try!)
The choice of title for today’s blog is inspired by Iain Crummies uncanny ability to joyfully insult Elliot. I think we all do pretty well at it, but Iain always impresses us by his original and witty retorts.
Better get back to wanting to poke my eyes out at work or jumping out the window.
Bye for now
