The other night we played at the historic market town that is Saffron Walden. Saffron Walden is the only town in the country to be associated with the precious crop, saffron. Saffron was in great demand for the woollen industry and brought wealth to the town. (I thought you'd like to know) Mixed feelings about this gig everyone used my bass amp without even asking which annoyed me! Then my amp broke during your demise so I spent most of it "twiddling" with my amp and it didn't cut out on any other band… Very annoying. It was good as yet again the Judges ranked us as the best but then lost, as we didn't bring any friends to vote for us (apart from parents) Rock on… It was quite a weird venue as it was so posh, it had grand paintings of the queen and the like and was quite strange.
Forgot to talk about the gig at the Palomino last weds, its was one to forget about really, 1st band went straight after their set taking all their fans with them which was annoying. 2nd band 'The Shadow Project" were really, really good! So we just thought how do we follow this? Luckily the venue was empty so no one noticed our 'unprofessionalism'
Next day we played at the Fidds again, this time for a band comp it was an experience. It totally kicked off before we even got on the stage with a little tension between Berralass and the other band I forgot the name of… When we got up to do our set we fully expected to get booed off after the happenings of the night, luckily the venue emptied for a fight outside so we could just 'thrash' through our set and now worry about anything. During our set the venue filled up a little and funnily enough we nearly went through with getting the same points on judges but losing to the audience. (where have I heard that before)
Then day after it was our prom where we played at went as well as it could've with everyone being in the party mood then the INDIE ANGST of Figure of Speech take to the stage to fill everyone at the joyous occasion not so joyous feelings. Apart from Ghostbusters of course, that went down well with everybody, Hurrah.
That's it for the summer now (until the rocking beer fest) in this little break we're going to be working hard in a shed recording and the malarkey. Hope you all have a good/nice summer.
