Helplines

hiiiiiiiiiiii.

okay, we didn’t end up playing the all day tav fest (cos russell had work) which worked out pretty well for me ‘cos i just got mega, mega drunk. but it was a real good day. dan’s other band noyfb played really well as did other locally ace bands boat to row,bronze medals and youves. also, my friend james drank for almost thirteen hours and ended up getting in the fountain. hero.

we played the tav wednesday with bronze medals who were great as always. as for us, i don’t feel we really excelled that much. dan said he felt like my guitar amp was just shouting at him and he couldn’t hear anything at all (even himself) and my ears just felt so fucked that i couldn’t tell pitch correctly. lame.

but thursday at the crew was a bit of a different story. we played again with bronze medals, plus curious jim, ruffcutts, flying kicks and fight of the pier. the sound was great and for some reason; i felt we really were too. i was in such a bad mood that i took every once of frustration out on my guitar and ended the set by plugging a mic into my loop station and screaming through a colossal amount of noise. but it was good, and i was sporting a right quiff which i think is dead cool. check out the pix. also have a look at the picture of me and russell that they stuck together really badly.

good times. even better than that; it was a battle of the bands and the prize was a cake. so we thought it would be funny to eat it before anyone won. but instead, in our infinite wisdom, we poured beer on it and stuck stuff in it. which turned out to be even funnier when the girl from fight of the pier started eating it after they won.

beer cake; yum.
