The Face Bar and other stories
Hello. I'm back from my holiday. I've actually been back for a week or so but haven't had much to say. There seems to have been some confusion about where I went, mainly because I didn't know myself. As far as I can work out it was a county in England beginning with H (probably).
What a great night it was at the Face Bar last night. It was an Access All Areas gig featuring Rebus, My Luminaries, Polar Remote and Morning Runner. The place seemed to be pretty packed. Rebus were described to me as "a breath of fresh air" by two completely independent people which was odd. I mean the choice of words and the coincidence of it was odd, not the sentiment. Also odd was seeing Rob, the Sonic Undermind drummer, playing drums for Rebus. I'm used to him being behind me (ooh er) not in front of me.
I don't want to give too much away about the night as I'm supposed to be writing a full review (when I have recovered a bit more!).
I did get a text from AK saying that the Yankee Nine-Niner gig at the Borderline had been flooded out so they'd been moved to the Astoria instead. Which must have been nice! I expect a full report here at some point, but might not get it.
Anyway, in the future I intend to follow AK's lead and start posting more general musical things and not just "what I did at the weekend" type things. I might see if I can automate "got drunk and went to The After Dark" to post every Saturday... but maybe not.
