A very enjoyable evening had by all at 'The Good Ship' in Kilburn, North London last night. This is a really good venue run by actual music/arts lovers and puts on a truly eclectic mix of stuff.
Despite the horrendous journey, it felt like a homecoming of sorts (we used to live in Kilburn) and I think our bouncy set was appreciated by the indie-connoisseurs. It was an interesting night - all the music was pushing idiosyncratic buttons (in a good way) and none of the bands had a 'straight' line-up (check out: the whole schebang, wintergreen and snowy). Is this the return of 'real' indie? We were (possibly for the first time ever) the heaviest band on the bill, if only because we had no glockenspiel! If this is 1986 all over again, I'm glad. Maybe my hair will grow back...
Major thanks to Peter (from snowy) for putting the night on. Here's to more of the same...
