Last Friday we had a gig at Little Devil, in Tilburg (...homies..!!..) together with Forcefeed... another band (Discourse Avenue) was supposed to be playing too, but unfortunately one of their bandmembers got sick, so they had to cancel... We hope he's feeling better...
It's always somewhat of a hassle to play Friday night gigs, cuz us "rockstars" all have dayjobs as well (...hafta pay the bills, right..?..) so after work it's rushhour... pack up the gear, get to the venue, unload, set things up on stage, line-check, one-song soundcheck and after a small breather it's showtime.... phew... can get a little stressy, but once the intro starts rolling, the energy starts building up, and we're all ready to go....
Gig went great, very nice crowd, good response and our soundtech managed to yet again give us an awesome sound (thanx, Marco..!!!..)
For me personally it was quite an effort to hit the high notes, or to even sing, cuz i had a bad cold and managed to fall down some stairs before the gig, so i was pretty sore... but no time to whine when "duty" calls, huh..?.. We all had a few beers after the gig, while watching Forcefeed perform... very energetic and "in your face" band.... a pleasure to watch...
After a few hours of sleep and getting back to "normal" life (..yes, we do have to shop for groceries and vacuum the house n stuff, hihi...) it was time to get going again, for another gig, in Den Bosch this time, at W2...
NO rest for the wicked..!!!..
After a loooong wait (...made a little less long by the other performing bands...) it was time for us to get on stage, and what a great stage to be on... BIG..!!!.. no need to worry about bumping into eachother, enough space to move around without getting your eye poked out by the head of a guitar, which has been known to happen, hihi..... nice crowd, in numbers, a little hard to get them going, but after the first two songs they started to warm up to us, and we got great responses from there on...
Thanx to our merch-babes, we sold a couple of CD's and made a few interesting contacts for future happenings...
So, all n all, a great giggin' weekend....
