So we rocked up into Phantom last night only to discover that had we walked we would have got there quicker. John Caddell was rather calmly hanging around outside having a smoke while his show was continuing upstairs. We proceeded to invade the building with bicycles, electric guitars, acoustic guitars, boomboxes & a newly purchased mini-korg jobby type keyboard fandangly. This is us stripped. The deal is Cathal intros the show, plays a few tunes then calls us in to play a track, though we have a few minutes to set up. So going out live we begin our newest finished tune 'for no man', which must have been mentioned here more than anything else so far, only to be stopped about 10 seconds in due to a mysterious buzzing noise that is taking over everything. One by one plugging things out we trace the source of the disturbance to a Canadian transformer that is attached to a pedal board attached to a guitar attached to a Canadian. So Luke plugs out his effects & we're ready to go again. You learn something new every day ordinarily & in a band I think you learn 10 new things every day, I'm not sure it ever ends. So the one thing we've learned so far today is that being in a band adds 9 new things to learn each day, only 9 more to go so.
On another note our 7"s have arrived, we're all excited as they look like vinyl & smell & taste like vinyl, weird. Vinny got his picture taken with Steve Reddy receiving the first copy & if you're our friend on Facebook you can see the looks of sheer delight & excitement on both their little faces. Beautiful.
