A short notice gig,
arranged on the Tuesday before, we had an hours practice before
travelling from our practice room in Lyneham to Chippenham for the
soundcheck. It's nice to play in a spacious area, where I'm not
avoiding Mark with my Bass every couple of seconds.
Midriff
were first on, at 8pm for there first gig with the new line-up. They
played an enjoyable 30 minute set which comprised mainly of covers, but
with two originals fitted in. I do hope they write more of their own stuff.www.myspace.com/midrifftheband
Room 101
took the stage at 9.10pm. We thought we'd start with Let's Dance, to try
and get the crowd going from the off, then immediately into New
Generation As it turned out, we probably could have started with
anything. By the end of the set, the majority were dancing, headbanging,
clapping and cheering. A first for our brief stint as undiscovered
rockstars. After the show, we had numerous comments of "That was F*cking
Brilliant man" and someone from Millennium Child was overheard saying
"How the f*ck do we follow that?" (Allegedly). We have also got people
trying to get us shows in Bath and Southampton. I think we may well try
and play Chippenham again very soon.....www.myspace.com/room101band
Millennium
Child hit the stage around 10.15pm and entertained the crowd with
their Guns n Roses-esque style of rock and roll. With local music press
headlines as " The brightest hope for British rock and roll" they didn't
disappoint. Hopefully the contrast of our punk show, and their rock
show, we could get together again sometime, and recreate this enjoyable
evening.www.myspace.com/millenniumchildrock
Thank You to Millennium Child for asking us along, and thank you to
everyone that made the evening so much fun.......
