Rhythm Factory - Drummer's Perspective
First and foremost, thanks to everyone who came along to support us at Rhythm Factory, we really appreciate it and hope you enjoyed it.
I personally found the whole night quite strange, although ultimately fun. The strangeness included conversations about hip hop in which I had no frame of reference, struggles to make an amp work, a guitar lead falling out, a sample so quiet I had absolutely no idea whether I was even remotely close to keeping time, a "top heavy" Russian woman, and three Portuguese women all called Anna-something in a chippy with a box of condoms.
As we came off stage I was expecting commiserations; the classic "don't worry about it, I thought it was good". As it turned out, it was only me who had bad sound. Everyone I spoke to from the crowd said the sound was great, and I was suprised to hear those who had attended the previous gig at The Windmill say that this was better.
Massive relief, got a drink. Then another. Then another...
As per usual I ended up pissed and moving from one bizarre situation to another, before eventually getting the night bus home. Next I knew I was cruelly woken by my alarm for work.
Favourite post show compliment: "I was mesmorised".
Roll on August.
Upcoming Shows

Not as fun as it should have been.
Some people think I’m bonkers
But I just think I’m free

There's nothing crazy about me
Some people pay for thrills but I get mine for free
