that was the 14th.
a great time was had by all...to the mill underground at about 8ish, after we made detours to pick up games and energy. no problems getting in and we met the bands and folk from other such groups that we knew or had played with. we told everyone we met (including the barman) about our plans for a halloween gig, and they all loved it. then again, most of them were drunk. Rival state were on first, they seemed to have picked up the singer from pinwheel hearts. he screams like gay satan and is a great performer so it wasn't so bad. Random though, the singer of Mission gizzard was the dude from the vodafone ad. most odd. the last band was just so incredibly absolutley wonderfully amazing though that i ended up buying their ep. Falter were so into their music that the audience couldn't help but do the same, the crowd had thinned out by then cos it was getting sort of late, and luckily the mind-altering substances were wearing off the remaining folk so my ribs and feet were thankful...bastard.. but anywho, Falter. They are just the most into-the-music-band i've ever seen live. a total recomend... After that though, we (oh yeah, suz, jills, chrissy and myself) decided to cruise past the basement bar. jills saw some people she knew so we go out and said 'howdy'. it was a grand bogan crowd all there for chuganaut and agent..man it was jenny heaven i swear. we snuck into the bar, and (after several frantic foragings of spare change) bout the chuganaut ep too. fuck yes! outside we (you know who it was) were talking to clements (jills random buddy) and joey (also jills random buddy. he was very josh meets luke. freaked me out there. he helped me buy the ep which was helpdul) and this dude with a ginormous mowhawk and red beard walks up. "blimey." says I. "You could take an eye out with that thing!" he gave me a big grin and joey leaned over and said 'hey, thats the dude from that band you like right?" i said".....ohholygod, ohyouretheGUITARIST. maniLOVeyourband!" He shook my hand "I'm nail" he said. "I'm jenny." said I. "great to meet you jenny." he said. he patted his pockets looking for a cd but i said, 'don't worry man, i just bought it. it took a long time but i bought it.' so he was happy too.
it was a happy night. i stole some (rival state, falter gig) posters off various transformers and gave them to chrissy and then we had tiny donuts from burger king. practically everyone there was from the rival state gig. one very drunk group of odd people were standing by the counter and staring at my shoes. i winked at them and one of the girls went. "OH MY GOD YOU"RE IN A BAND! THAT BAND! YOU"RE IN THAT BAND!"
I said, "yes". She said "OH MY GOD YOU HAVE AN ACCENT! WHAT DO YOU SAY IN YOUR BAND??" I said, "say? you mean play?" She said "OH MY GOD YOU"RE FROM GOODTRASH." i tuned out because suz handed me donuts. we left.
that was that night. it needed writing. i lost emmas folder so i couldn't interview the bands, but she still wants me to write a report so heres to a working lunch.
