First "gig"

[chriswareham]

Did a gig a bit like this. Club promoter wanted something "edgy" to try and make his club "alternative", so he booked us. Didn't tell us the support band would be using our equipment - first I knew of it was when our guitard wandered into the dressing room and told me some slappy,poppy Flea wannabe twunt was using my amp, having switched out the limiter. Went to find the promoter, who had disappeared. The doormen said it was par for the course. So we went on and played the most aggressive set I've ever done, finishing with both guitar amps howling out feedback and the singer berating the promoter. The student audience loved it, but we didn't get paid.A little addendum. The gig was at the Aquarium club in Old Street, London. Twelve years later I played at the Purple Turtle in Camden - different band - and one of the guys on security wandered up and reminded me of that night as he was the one the promoter had asked to try and eject us from the club (he'd refused on the grounds that the promoter was a knobhead).

70's porn soundtrack? Jeesh, that takes me back...

But lounge funk, astro slime mix, is making a welcome comeback. Where are you gigging next? I don't want to miss it
