It'll be carnage just wait and see 8)
It was. It was tanned before I even officially started drinking last night. So I was basically 1 full bottle of Buckfast ahead of everyone else. Memory is very hazy, I was fucking ruined.
I can remember both gigs being quality though, my mate's instrumental band were excellent, really interested to see how they progress (last night was their first gig) & my other mate's band fucking wrecked the place at Flat 0/1, there was a wee dude holding one of the speaker stacks up as it was attempting to fall over ever 30 seconds due to the entire place going fucking tonto. Cunts stage diving off the bar & shit lol.
It was totally sold out, I had a ticket which I could have punted for a healthy profit but decided not to as I'd rather go to the gig, then I didn't even need the fucking thing! Strolled straight in past the bouncers etc without even being asked for it, everyone else had bands round their wrists so they could get in & out for a fag, they never asked to see mine (which I obviously didn't have due to never handing over a ticket) once. I guess getting to know bouncers (so that they at least recognise your face) without ever trashing their bar pays off. They must have just assumed I'd already been in & didn't bother to stop me.
Outstanding night overall, although this kind of hazy memory normally means I have horribly offended one or more people at some point during the night (usually someone I barely know haha) so I'll find out over the next few days if I was a total prick or just a wee bit of an arse.
Woke up on my mate's couch, I was sure I was in my own bed, I was raging when I realised I still had to mission it home but then he offered me a run home in exchange for a McD's breakfast - DEAL!
I don't even feel rough at all now. Belting out a wee bit of Nas & about to skin up. Heavy recovery time then an all day (ie, 8am kick off) "get-absolutely-fucking-wasted" mission on Saturday
Fuckin' hell. I need to stop writing essays when I meant to write a short reply lol.
I've heard a few of your mixes on here before and they're pretty fucking good. What kind of places would you be playing if they decided they like them?
I dunno man. Pretty shit places I think. O'Couture was the last place they were advertising a night for (& asking for funky-house DJs haha - I didn't reply to that!) so I'm guessing places like that. I don't give a fuck though, I just want to play to people as oppose to my bedroom wall lol. Like I said, I think I'd be playing more background music (as in, the crowd wouldn't all be standing facing me, paying solid attention), so probably pretty pishy clubs but anything will do tbh. I'm tempted to send the dude a message & let him know that I don't actually want any money for it.
The drummer from my mate's band was DJing till 3am last night, well not really, he was literally just playing tunes (probably off iTunes) after they'd finished their set last night. Belting out California Love & shit haha. I'd be far too tempted to do shit like in the middle of a techno set. Just drop a Wu-Tang tune & not give a fuck if the crowd start throwing pints at me lol.
Edit - Clocked a couple of photos. That's what you call a sweaty gig!!!! This was gig #2 (Drive-By Argument).
My mate using a beer bottle to play his guitar??? Lol, wtf? I'll need to ask him what that's all about.
