Eating Humble Pie

[niceguyhomer]

I walked away from an original blues band in July frustrated at the lack of rehearsals - basically we were 3 weeks away from the first gig and had five songs ready when the keyboard player announced he was going away for two weeks and the red mist descended.

Anyway, I ate humble pie and went to their first gig last night and they were brilliant. Although to other musos they were a bit rough around the edges, there were moments of sheer brilliance and they went down a storm.

My legs are badly bruised this morning from kicking myself all night.

Ah well, I can look forward to my charity gig on the sea front at Blackpool on Sunday playing to chavs and seagulls with my new band who play songs twice 'round cos they don't the endings

Been there mate.
You can take comfort in the fact that they probably only got their act together because you stormed out.
It's all down to you.

Yep, the words Bloc Party ring a bell? F*CK!!!!!!

At the time, you probably made the right decision and as Oldgit said, you probably kicked them up the arse enough to get their act together so congratulate yourself that you've helped them out. "They'd be nothing without me..etc...etc"

I left Bloc Party before they got big.

I met them briefly once and they were a bunch of tossers.

Was that the case when you were with them?

Yes indeed, very hard not to throw punches, they advertised in the Loot as a Punk band.

Not long it all turned sour very fast. I remember a band practice with them on Millenium eve.
