Wednesday night saw the Jesus trio head to Korova Bar
in Liverpool. A catchment area for students, the Korova features the upstairs
industrial dinner / downstairs “I want to play a game” Saw dungeon kind of
vibe. Upon arrival we looked to see if there was any evidence of us playing the
venue on that particular night and after finding the only WWJD poster in the
vicinity, I was shocked and dismayed to find that someone had given me a Hitler
tash! I have my suspicions of who did this and I will not point fingers (maybe
a banana. THAT’S RIGHT!!!!) ....
We sound checked and headed out to grab our keys from
the Travelodge and initiate our 3 people in a two-person room plan (ask me for
details at any gig) ....
It was Tim’s turn to pick where we would eat dinner
and he decided on a quant little Indian restaurant “a passage to India”. I now
understand why the Scousers call southerners soft and it is all to do with the
strength of heat provided by ones local curry house. Whilst I can enjoy a Madrass
back home in Chatham, it actually burnt a hole in my face in Liverpool. Johnnie
was kind enough to taste the devils Madrass and will confirm my claims of fiery
hell in a tomato-based sauce. To counter the inferno I had to drink quite a few
glasses of red wine, this lead to a few on stage mishaps but I like to refer to
this as adding “flavour” to a gig.....
....
We played to a small but appreciative crowd and
although I referred to the onstage sound as “singing in a piss trough” we had a
good time and seemed to go down ok. ....
....
We met a lovely and very good band Lost City Radio who
have promised to come to our neck of the woods to play a show or two with us
and I got to catch up with an old mate Kaylee who kindly brought along a crowd
for us to play to (thank god someone was promoting the gig)....

Knocking over my mike stand through Casey clumsiness,
seeing Kaylee and Jonnie forging Jesus's autograph in the hotel room bible! ....
