Portland Arms, Cambridge, 20/02/2013
This gig was at a birthday party for my friend Steve, judging from the rider he gave us,
I think private events may be the way forward!
On our way to Cambridge in the van I decided it would be hilarious (to me) to pretend to confuse it with Oxford all night. Lots of mentions of gleaming spires and Inspector Morse. Luckily, I was right and it WAS hilarious (to me)
Rob was also playing bass in the headline band, the excellent Abdoujaparov, which contains two members of Carter U.S.M, and four members of my band. Look, here he is doing that.
A quick trip to the Wetherspoons over the road to reach P.L.D and it was time to play.
We were amazing!
Jokes about Oxford were still hilarious (to me)
The newest song we play, which lasts for 1 min 35 sec on the album, lasted for about 40 seconds after I decided to make new drummer, Ben L'ambert play it at double speed. For some reason.
Then it was drinking, dancing, some sort of bottled beer that comes pre mixed with Tequila, and the best disco based entirely around the year 1992 I can remember, before getting the van back for home.
It was great! I give it a thumbs up.
