woohoo! first gig. proof in itself that there's something a bit spooky about this band. everything seems too easy. two days after an off-hand comment someone made about being ready to gig by the end of autumn, matt and arthur come in to see me at work to say we have a gig. and with hofman no less. no matter that we only have two songs, it'll be fine.
so by the next friday, we had written two new tunes and packed out the boat race, (well, actually, hofman did but that doesn't matter). no-one knew what to expect, we had been keeping the music to ourselves. so we surprised ourselves and others (especially anyone who had been to a DayCentre gig) by coming out with a well-formed, heartfelt and pretty tight set. i think the shock value as much as anything else helped this gig, but people keep saying it is the best we've played (even after 5). that's cool, it means we have to keep trying new things to better our first time. the honeymoon is over
