Post Underground Review - We Rocked
Words can't really describe the feeling of playing a good gig. But I'll try.
Last night we played Underground 36, Hong Kong's fortnightly original music night. There were five bands, we played fourth, and it all happened at the Edge nightclub in Lan Kwai Fong. The good thing about playing there is they have a decent PA which meant we could hear ourselves properly, we could be loud without being ear-splitting, and the audience could hear us properly as well. It was incredible - suddenly our sound was transformed from a vile, spitting, feral beast into a huge powerful monster. It was great!
We were all a bit nervous before the show, but as soon as we got up on stage and started setting up our instruments we all relaxed and then performed our best show yet.
For those who are interested, the setlist was as follows:
Musashi
Whichever Way the Wind Blows
In the Desert
Wash It Out of Sight
I'm Sorry
Punks in Yau Ma Tei
Taxi to Wanchai
Sugar Baby
Bulletproof Black Sedan
Afterwards in the post-performance euphoria I managed to chat to a few people who were very encouraging, and Rob actually sold(!) two copies of our demo CD.
Anyway, that will do for now - we're playing again next Friday, back at Joyce Is Not Here, where we're going to debut a few new songs, as well as play everything else we know. Stay tuned! And thanks to everyone who came along last night to see us - we really appreciate it.

Guys - you were fantastic. Sonic Youth and the Velvet Underground playing Mah Jong filmed by Woodie Guthrie. Can only say I'm gutted I missed the Dylan covers night - any chance of a repeat?
Hey thanks very much for coming to see the show! Don't know about the Dylan night being repreated - that's up to Rob, as he's the one who knows all the Dylan songs. But you never know...
