Rooz - by DP

2009-08-10T06:15:00.000-07:00

This was banter.
Rooz was arguably the hottest place on earth, and seemed to make me lose my ability to know how much I'd had to drink. My 2 pint limit before going on stage somehow turned into 4, with the 5th accompanying me on stage. Julie's theory of no limits before going on stage was in full practice, and made for some brilliant banter.

The show went well, I think.
Looking out from the back of the stage all I could see were the ear to ear smiles of my mates. This combined with shouts of Jones, J.E.W, Geek, I fucking love you, and a brief discussion about Gary Glitter's level of perspiration in a Vietnamese juvenile prison, turned my usually serious face into one big retarded smile.
Amazing.

Having lost 2 stone through sweating on stage it seemed like a good idea to go with the general concensus and dehydrate myself further through immeasurable levels of drinking. Double whiskey and coke please, as per usual. Plus a shot of tequila, and any beers I can get my hands on. Cheers.

Decided to skip the offer of a club in Hoxton and cab it back. It was a wise move; had I gone to the club I fear I would have missed out on the amazing 'fake sleeper'.
The event was rounded off nicely when I woke up in a pool of sweat and weighing only 6 stone.

More of the same on Friday 21st August at Spice of Life, Soho.

Rhythm Factory - Drummer's Perspective

2009-07-23T02:02:00.000-07:00

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.
