Live at Optimo January 4th 2009
The year got off to a pretty good start, with my first ever gig at the legendary Optimo. I was pretty nervous, but the audience reaction surpassed my expectations - in fact I'd say this is the best gig I've ever done! The crowd was pretty wild and there was lots of groping and pulling of my tie. Big up to the woman who knew all the words to Work It and joined in on backing vocals. The gig was so good in fact that I've been asked back to do another Optimo - this time at their annual Hogmanay party at the Old Fruitmarket. That promises to be pretty huge - also on the bill are Divorce, Hudson Mohawke, Drums of Death, Optimo DJs and a secret special guest tba - what a way to see out the decade!
The recording of my show at Optimo will be available as a limited free download on Little Rock on December 18th. In the meantime you can hear Work It in my myspace player: http://www.myspace.com/theNiallist
