Part 93
June is here and it ain't looking pretty so
far... You'd think I got used to this by now after sixteen years in
the country... Anyway. Last Friday we played at the Sweeneys basement
once again. We were happy that Foad musick asked us to take part in
their night. There had been some changes in the basement room! To our
delight the cursed pillar right on front of the stage had been
removed. This opens up the stage straight away. They also had moved the bar on the opposite side it used to be and now the room is
starting to look like proper venue. I also heard rumours about new
equipment, and to be honest with you, this is the last thing that
needs to be fixed and then Sweeneys would have pretty sweet venue in
the basement as well. On the night there was four bands, Corrosive
machine, JPKALLIO.COM, Jobseekers and The Freebooters. All of the
bands on the night played great energetic sets, It was like every
band just fueled the next one even more. It was really great to see
such a high standard of punk rock bands and an enthusiastic crowd.
This was one of our better gigs in a long while. Once again big thanks
to Foad musick for having us.
We will be back in the Sweeney's on the 6th
of July, but part from that we made a decision on taking it bit
easier with the gigs and concentrate rehearsing a lot and working on
some new material with out the pressure of getting it done for the
next gig. I suppose what we want to do is jam the stuff for a while
before we commit to a structure. Very often once you play song a live,
it seems to be set in stone and even if you think to change
something, you never get around to it. Another reason for the break
is the European championships. I have made the mistake of booking gigs
during big events like this in the past and lets just say I have learned my lesson:-D
Anyway, I only have five weeks
in Dublin before I am on the road again with Sliotar and this is bit
longer tour... And the preparations for that will keep me extremely busy.
Now in the mean time, Patryk is been busy
playing bass with his old band Pimps & Gimps, he is a man of many talents;-). The Pimps & Gimps are playing with other friends of
ours the Joyful Noiz in the Harbour Bar in Bray. So if you are
looking for some good music this Friday, why wont you hop on the Dart
and head over.
For now, enjoy the early summer
days;-)
