I know I've already posted on this, but I can't find the damn thread on it
Anyone fancy meeting up for a drink there? I'm gonna be on my own, or possibly with Melz if he ever gets in touch......
I finish work in Leeds at 6 and aim to be getting there for 8. Hope I wont miss any BC or Blue States!

On me own then
If anyone see's a lonely looking lad wearing a deep blue hoody with "LOST" emblazened across the front, nursing a shandy, take pity on the poor boy and go say hello to him

I went to this. Piney Gir was incredible. after that I don't remember anything because it started an hour and a half late so I got stupidly drunk. |

Yep, due to bc's van breaking down all we got to see was 20 mins of genius
Still well worth it though, and I got to chat to the great man for a while, which was nice
I would have bought that Piney Gir CD if it wasn't for Martin ordering me to buy ten of his instead!
Will write more when I get time

So anyway I got to Nottingham Social at 7:50 only to be turned away "until at least nine".
Sat downstairs and thankfully got to chat to a very warm and lovely girl called Rebecca for an hour (thanks... you saved me from a very lonely evening ).
When the doors finally opened I was first in and, thinking I should have the courage (rather than the last bc gig where I bottled it), decided to walk straight over and say hello to Martin. He explained about the breakdown and apologised that all bands were having 30 minutes cut from their playing time. Shame, but hey, in the end I saw a bc laptop gig with a fantastic drummer, and it's whetted my appetite for more!
Piney Gir was fantastic.... Just the lead singer with an iPod (she kept trying to convince us she wasn't cheating and had a band that couldn't come )
After bc finished I decided to hang around to see Blue States. They were frankly, boring as fuck, but luckily Martin had come over by then so we talked over the top of them heheh.
Just to echo everyone else's comments on here, Martin is one of the warmest and friendliest people you could ever hope to meet - he even endured my rant about how great C'Mon Kids was with a smile on his face. A true pleasure to meet my hero at last!
Oh and by the way Martin, I checked out the anticon website.... I'll let you know what I think once I've done a bit more listening

- Piney Gir with just an Ipod! ...you would've missed the song that was a duet with her keyboard player then, that was ace.
Mr Firesky
- I actually asked a few people at the 93 Feet Live gig if they were you but none of them were and so they all thought I was weird instead. _________________ http://www.facebook.com/thelostcavalry

I was sort of drunkenly leaning on a post at the front. I love the idea of you going up to people and saying are you mr firesky? sounds a bit like the sort of things that a spy would do!
When the gig finished I shouted some encouragement at martin ( sort of along the lines of GOAAAANNNNNNN THE FUCKIN' CAPTAIN!) then hastily made a sharp exit up some stairs which led to the mixing desk!
I then snuck out the venue hoping no one had seen me! |
