Really must keep this updated more...

Seriously.


I set aside some time to write this blog and fill it out with weird and wonderful stories but then I just get sidetracked and it ends up being quite short. I've been reading some other blogs lately just to get a better idea and hopefully it will show.


Northampton - Thursday 4th November


I'll start with last weeks shows with Lordaeron in Northampton and London. I really enjoy playing gigs on the bounce with Lordaeron as I feel we get a lot tighter by the 2nd gig and people actually "get" what we do. We are relaxed, a lot more in the pocket and it just fits.
     The first gig was at The Racehorse in Northampton with Cancerous Womb (lovely though!) and some other bands I can't remember the name of. I'm not being rude but I see that many I just don't pay attention unless they are a) awesome guys b) awesome music. This was the first time I've played The Racehorse and hopefully won't be the last as it had a nice and compact stage and a tight sound on and off stage.

If the gig was on a Friday or Saturday and with a bit more promotion it would of been even better. We played a good set, it was fast and brutal and from the reactions of the crowd (mostly the other bands!) we went down well. Sold a few copies of our new album too which is always a good feeling (to our pockets). We hung around until the last band but Mike was driving and we had to get back to our abodes before the stroke of dawn. 


London - Sunday 7th November


I think we were all really looking forward to this gig for a while. It was at a great venue, The Purple Turtle in Camden and normally gets packed, especially if your on 2nd. The first band on here rarely gets the crowd as they are on so early. Luckily for us we were on 2nd. Or so we thought :-( A few niggles with the first bands members being stuck in traffic and we were demoted to 1st. It wasn't the end of the world because our friends from Thursday were playing, Cancerous Womb and tonight was just about having fun and a good time.

Most important section of any venue.

The gig was quite a breakthrough for us. A lot of the crowd had seen us before in London but this was apparently the best they've seen/heard us and really got into the vibe of what we do. That topped the night off, along with Phil getting up to guest some vocals for Cancerous Womb! The drive back wasn't that bad although the first few miles getting out of London whilst everyone is still awake and buzzing can be a little bit "off putting" (Bastards!). 


Next gig is on November 27th, my birthday, and we are supporting Gorgoroth at Derby's newest  night club, Redemption. It should be a right good gig and I can't wait! 


Sack Sabbath


Tonight we play Yardbirds in Grimsby so no doubt a blog shalt follow. 


Until then...


Piss off.
