By your command
Ok Kevin, as requested here's an update for today.
Highlight of the weekend was the Self Preservation Society gig at the Rising Sun Arts Center. In many ways it could have been a Club Velocity gig looking at the line-up, location and crowd. If I get time later in the week I'm hoping to write one of those conversational reviews with Jo from Caged Baby again.
Pete and the Pirates were really, really good. Lead guitarist Dave Thorpe played so hard he covered his guitar in his own blood. They got a massive shout for an encore despite being the first band on, Rebus were good, Jim Bowes as soundman nearly deafened everyone with the synth on Clone A though, I didn't know that PA went that loud! I also got my hands on a Caged Baby CD which I haven't heard yet but I'm sure will be very interesting. Didn't bother watching The Fades, had more fun chatting about music and 'the local scene' with various members of Caged Baby, Pete and the Pirates, Rebus and Sonic Undermind.
Tonight it's the National Music Network demo play thing at the BBBs. If I can somehow get hold of a copy of the CD Rob's making for it. The play at the BBBs is going to be the first I've heard of the final mixes!
