FROM THE ASHES

Baby got back

Well, who’d have thought it, but we went back to the Barfly!

And it was a whole different experience. That’s not to say the gig we had at the Barfly back in October was bad, it was just dissapointing. This time, though, it was bang on! We had a proper sound check in good time, done by an engineer of absolute quality. That meant we had time to chill before the gig. One of the important things we’ve learnt is that its good to get away from the venue for a bit before the evening starts. Grab a bite to eat and a beer, before heading back to rock out.

Also, we feel that it’s really important to check out the other guys you’re playing with and show some solidarity. At this level, none of us are millionaires yet, so it’s good to offer support when possible. The other bands on the evening were all of a high standard, so everyone who came to the gig got more than their money’s worth!

When it was our time to play, we got up and just rocked out. It was our first gig of the year, and we’ve been told that it was one of the best sets we’ve played, period! It was also Steve’s first time trying out his new PRS guitar live. He was very pleased with how it sounded (his exact words being “Oooooh, GUITARMAKELOUDHEAVYROCKSOUND!!”).

So, that’s the first one of the year down. We’re gonna have a bit of a gig hiatus until April while we work on new material. But then we’re gonna be back, and ready to rock n’ roll!
