All better!
So, after my frankly miserable and tired post on Thursday I'm much more cheerful today.
The wedding on Saturday was absolutely fantastic. There was loads of live music. First Sam (Sonic Undermind and Müf bass player)'s brother played with My Two Toms. They did an excellent instrumental rendition of Zombie Wedding on acoustic guitar and banjo and then continued with more really cool instrumental stuff. As well as the guitar and banjo they also used a really tiny, and I when I say tiny I mean tiny, guitar which only had two strings. Very cool. Several gallons of sparkling wine and some food later and The Palestinians hit the wedding with some punky political rock. I'm not sure it was exactly what you normally expect from a wedding band but it was great fun and loads of people were dancing. Probably the best sounding I'd seen them and I really enjoyed it.
Sometime after that, and a few beers later Sonic Undermind hit the stage. We actually played really well, and had great fun with it. Especially considering how drunk we were (very). It was much better than the rehearsal! As well as the three songs we'd rehearsed we played Rock Cliché as an encore. We hadn't even run through that in the rehearsal but kind of came back to us. It was so much fun I didn't really want to stop, nor did the crowd but hey, leave them wanting more.
Anyway, as the guy we met in the pub before the wedding said - and who may have featured in a blog entry I wrote about a Nocturne Acoustic gig - Happy Days, Happy Days.
