It was just amazing... in the end 33 people showed up just to see us! We never imagined that we'd get those kind of number especially as we're unknown and we were so overwhelmed by how many people showed up! 2 of the 4 bands that were supposed to be there didn't show so in the end we ended up playing first followed by a thrash metal band called Upon Descent. What we were doing was totally different to that kind of thing but they were so lovely. In fact everyone was really nice which really helped with the pregig nerves! We soundechecked about 8 and after much schmoozing and mingling we hit the stage at 9.30. As soon as that first song started my brain starting screaming 'F****************CK!' at me as loud as it could but the adrenaline was amazing! Our first song was our own, followed straight in by slither by velvet revolver which went really well. Then Incubus' Wish you were here, Mr brownstone by G'N'R (again went really well other than Jam nearly breaking his voice :rotfl:). Them bones by alice in chains went well except for a couple of balls ups and then we went into Avenged sevenfold's Almost easy which Ste played faster than normla :eek:. Me and D were on backing vocals, and stepping up to the mic D managed to step on his tuner and cut his sound... followed by me playing COMPLETELY the wrong thing while singing... I've no idea what I was playing and all I know is it was on completely the wrong string and position :rotfl:. We finished with the 2nd of our tracks which was such a great ender. Really energetic and bouncey and everyone loved it. Finished on such a high it was great!!! I made soooooooooooo many mistakes I lost count and my hands were so sweaty they were sliding off the fretboard :rotfl: But it was SO much fun I wanted to do it again!!! In the end I gave up on trying to play 100% accurately and just went with the 'rocking out' method... ie... moving about and generally 'rocking out' whilst attempting to play something at least close to the original.. lol!
The funniest moment was when we finished and went to the bar... literally the whole room left with us!!! There were about 6 people who'd shown up for the other band. :shocked:.. the rest were for us and left, enmass... when we'd finished! lol
There was a proper band photographer there who was one of D's mates so we should get some really good shots.. and all manner of people were taking photos so there'll be loads up soon.. but for the moment I'll leave you with a taster pic that Ste took from behind his drumkit... me on the right, Jam in the middle and D on the left.



Want to do it again!! Now we're going to get our heads down and write all new material... ready for the next gig which will be all originals by us....
Rock ooooooooooon!

OH AND we got paid £45 for the privilege! Split nicely into beer money... shame I was driving!
