Hmmm....
Well, I had been holding my blog-fire (yes, I think that works) in order not to steal Billiam's thunder (I was forewarned that a post was imminent) but probably should have just let rip...
Well I wanted to talk about a few things, Bill's covered Birmingham so I'll leave that apart from to say I... (deep breath) had 6 sausages in our fave Brum pub (whose threshold other bands fear to cross) the Vine in Harbourne, beat Bill 2-1 at pool, ran around in the rain and cold in a fruitless search for batteries so we'd have light on stage which it turned out we didn't need, was crap at table football, didn't listen to much of the second band on principle cos they didn't listen to the first band (and I was looking for batteries) but liked their last song and had it in my head on Tuesday afternoon, was glad we had a curry at 1 in the morning, wasn't too bothered about having to drive, still have Stu's drum kit in my house, kept Stu up til 7.30 in the morning talking bollocks, drank vodka for the first time in ages (is it healthier than beer?), haven't had a drink since (diet), and thought the bass player in the first band looked like Nick from that great sitcom 'My Family' who was also in Love Actually and apparently went to college with Stu.
I learnt a lot of interesting things about Stu... ;-)
Anyway, before all that was the Buzz gig on Saturday 11th. Popped down to the Bull & Gate to catch Jamie's debut with his new band, he was a bit apprehensive before showtime as he had a bad sound check (leading me to ponder whether it is better to have a bad sound check or no sound check at all?) but predictably enough the gig went really well, I was very impressed with the Buzz; I am a fan! They are excellent and had some good tunes, I think it's impressive when you see a punk band play for half an hour and they manage not to fall into the trap of every song sounding the same cos they didn't. There was one I particularly liked but I don't know the name of it. I shall be attending their gigs in future should I be able to do so, and should I be in a position to drag people along with me.
Actually, just noticed that there next gig is on the same day as our next gig; Saturday 15th of April. Rubbish! But wait, what's this? They're going on stage at 4.30 pm? In the W10 area? Well we're going on stage about 8.00 pm in the W10 area! What are the chances of that hey?
So it's all down to see the Buzz in the afternoon and then off to rock Subterranean (or Neighbourhood or whatever it's called) in the evening then! Magic.
Next big event on the horizon is the Happy Attack gig at 93 Feet East in Brick Lane on Thursday; I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS GIG IT WILL BE FUCKING AMAZING. I have got my ticket and have succeeded in bullying the rest of the band to join me, Stu has never seen Happy Attack! Unbelievable, I hope he's prepared for what could be a life-changing experience. I will have a break from my detox to drink at this gig, and will probably (Ok, definitely) be drinking on Saturday in Sheffield as well. Although that's not Happy Attack related.
I really want to go to see them play in Coventry on Sunday, I might buy tickets and try and drag people to it on the way home from Sheffield. I could make myself quite unpopular with my Happy Attack obsession I'm beginning to realise...
They don't know what they're missing!
Anyway, we do have one new photo on the website! Unfortunately it's not a very flattering one and it is on the front page so we are getting a bit of stick for it on the forum. Cheers Dan and anonymous guest! No doubt we shall have a brand spanking new website soon with all sorts of exciting things on like VIDEOS! At the moment though, you'll have to put up with the same old stuff that's been there for ages.
What else? I had a dream that Ireland would beat England in the Rugby 40-21 so I put a tenner on it at 33-1 but I lost. Ireland did win though, but it only goes to show that you can't trust dreams.
YOU CAN'T TRUST DREAMS! I'm sure that was in an eighties movie somewhere, any ideas Bruce 'eighties knowledge' Arnett?
Worked out the difference between Paul Newman and Richard Dreyfus yet Bruce?
I'll give you a clue, one of them was in Jaws.
