How was your gig last night?

[HeadlessBassist]

Lovely return to the Exchange Theatre at Sturminster Newton down in deepest Dorset. Drove past Stonehenge. 200 mile trip back home and in bed for 4am.

 

Awesome three tribute act gig and audience was a full house.

 

Played as house bass player today at a local Nottingham Jam while practically dead on my feet.

 

Currently eating Cherry Pie and Custard before I predictably fall asleep in an armchair.

Must admit i'd never  heard of them before joining the punk band but was pleasantly surprised how great the band were.

I saw them headline a punk festival in Bath in '95. I remember thinking how good the bass player was.

It was pre-internet and I didn't read the NME so I didn't know it was Bruce Foxton 😖

As much as i liked Bruce Foxton in The Jam i think Ali McMordie was the better player for me. His style suited SLP better.

Both great players tho.

200 mile trip home is a fair old jaunt. All credit to you on that one.

Thanks Dave. Yes, it seems to be a regular occurrence for me these days. Lytham St Annes on Thursday and Felixstowe on Saturday this week.

went to see a mate's band last night

Smallish pub. Bass player was using Ampeg SVT and a marshall 8x10

I got up to play a few Beatles numbers, wow the bass was a bit lively

Hurtsfall were upstairs at The Corporation in Sheffield on Saturday supporting Deviant, Zeitgeist Zero and Iamimperfect.

 

Really well run venue and evening with a proper stage manager making sure that everything ran smoothly. Also massive "backstage" area for the bands and gear plus refreshments. Only blip in the proceedings was that our backing was completely muted when we came to play and for some reason it took 3 goes for the sound engineer to find the right channel(s) and unmute them, which was a bit embarrassing and shouldn't be happening with digital programmable desks.

 

Despite the fact that we went on 10 minutes after the doors opened, there was a decent turn out to see us, and it didn't look as though that many additional people came in after we had finished. All the bands were great. I particularly liked Iamimperfect and will make an effort to see them again. We obviously went down well as we sold a load of merch afterwards, and with the gig ending at 10.30 was back home just after 12.00.

 

I believe some people like to see the empty stage set up, so here it is:

 

 

Amp and cabs and all the stuff in the middle of the stage at the back was for the other bands.

 

And here's a photo of us actually playing:

 

 

Next gig is the 25th April at The Crafty Cove in Whitby with Westenra and Social Youth Cult as part of the Whitby Goth Weekend. I believe that this is almost sold out already.

I’m not surprised the bass was lively - using an SVT /8x10 set up in a smallish

pub! Didn’t know people were still doing this, but strangely glad they are…..🙂

My first thought wasn't the volume, but the guys poor back humping that gear around 😂

Surely the definition of the word, in my understanding anyway. 
Nice to know young ‘uns still appreciate it.
