You fat fingered twat!

That's the title of the forthcoming Deathboy live album. ladylilith and I made it for the gig, work-printed flyers at the ready. Given that half the audience were there for Deathboy, I think we can regard this as a gig where the headliner opened.

Deathboy were pretty good. I could tell the songs apart this time. There's a great contrast between Scott's songs of deep angst and his charm-laden personable stage presence - expect to see this man on daytime infomercials in twenty years. gashinryu grabbed the bag of Whitby rock from Scott and threw it to the crowd ... Liz got the first one, the second one actually landed in my jacket pocket. The Garage is a poxy hole - is this place typical of what London has to offer in live venues, or is it an especially bad case?

Deathboy kicked arse playing in their home ground - next is to see how they do at an away game.

Liz was ill so we departed after Deathboy (though the goodbye process was long enough to stretch into the Ju Ju Babies - girly pop, also pretty good). Stopped in Golders Green for a nice Indian meal, then home to sleep our brains out.

Tonight I go to marnameow and sbp's to look after the kitties. No Slimes tonight.

You obviously haven't been to the Camden Barfly for a gig!
Not bad room to see a band (for a pub back room), but the toilets are so dire, I dare not drink there for fear of having to use them.

The Borderline, the Underworld, the Forum and even the Astoria can be good. Ditto Shepherds Bush Empire. Cannot comment on Camden Palace or a few other places either due to not having been there.

Were you in the Garage or Upstairs at the Garage?

[reddragdiva]

Upstairs. No air and no readmittance. What a combination!

[diffrentcolours]

The easy way to get re-admittance is to tell the doorstaff you're going to the cashpoint down the road to get more money to spend on the over-priced bar...

I saw Project Pitchfork a while ago at The Garage, and the roof leaked all night. It is a shite venue, and I think it is one of the worst in London.

Next stop, Weston-Super-Mare :)

Weston? Christ.

Are you bringing your own smack-habit, or do you want one provided by the local council?

[jasontheknight.livejournal.com]

Hehehehehe, we live therefore we munt

First away gig, so it better not be too scary down there.

On a slightly different note, didn't I meet you at Whitby?

[hirez.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm planning on being there, but only if I can find a secure compound to park the car for the duration of the gig.

Whitby? Probably when I bought a shirt off yer man in the Elsi on the Sunday.

[jasontheknight.livejournal.com]

Yup yup, that was me! Teehee!

Hope to see you on Sat then! Tell all yer friends about us ;)

Weston that bad then eh?
