So... how did the gig go?
Hey, it's almost 2 weeks since the Joey Ultra debut gig. I should really have written about it earlier, but I didn't! Ha! It went really well in the end. Andrew Spiers took some great photos (link to his gallery from the shot below)
It all worked out surprisingly well on the night. Six Nation State who were supposed to be playing dropped out and were replaced by Damien A Passmore. He ended up going on first so we played second. I think all of us just wanted to get out there and play so it was a bit wierd hanging around waiting. When we did get on it went really well. Most of the songs we played spot on, there were only a couple of dodgy bits in Indy Disco and Single Boy (cover of Single Girl by Lush).
The other bands on the night were apparently really good too, but we spent most of the rest of the gig standing by the bar, getting very drunk and talking about how it went. I had calmed down by the time Rebus came on though, and they were very good. Another highlight was the Heartware Process' cover of one of Ben Marwood's tunes. Really can't wait until the next JU gig now! Also need to organise a recording session with Rob at Bleeding Ear so that people can hear us on myspace. Once that happens we'll probably be the next Arctic Monkeys or Lilly Allen I expect.
If anyone wants to give us a gig e-mail joey@joeyultra.com
BTW, we're apparently on a new version of this blog software, I don't think it makes any difference to what you see but maybe there'll be more options for me to play with.
