So Tired
EDIT: Link should be working now
Christ, that was one helluva party. I'm sorry I couldn't spread the invitation far & wide... next time I promise.
And i'll try & make sure there will be a next time!
A ferocious soundsystem (i'm very sorry for anyone I deafened - from where I was I couldn't tell it was quite so loud!); great decor (200 meters of tin foil have rarely been put to better use!); an understanding bar manager (advertised finish time: 4:00am. Time I left: 7:30am. Cheers EJ!); cool bar staff; fantastic venue smack bang in the middle of Brixton; great tunes all night (good work Kwok, Chris, Matt & Jules!) and most importantly an amazing crowd. Woo!
And special thanks to Jules, Fin & Karen for organising it so well.
I wasn't all that pleased with my own set. As usual it sounded pretty good at home, but as soon as i'm faced with a load of unfamiliar equipment I start to lose it a bit. And that's despite for once attempting to stay (relatively) sober until I went on. I've not played out very often though, so things will only improve.
Fortunately, however, I recorded the practice I had on Friday night... which went pretty smoothly. This is pretty much what I played on Saturday, except I finished up differently and had to cut out a few from the middle for time reasons.
The Gorillaz & Tiga went down well... the other stuff less so!
Hope you enjoy it....
