How rock-n-roll are we?...

So first we get the plug pulled on us by environment health for being too loud in rehearsals, and then we set off smoke alarms in The Mill Tavern at the weekend...Rock & Roll! I know - a pub with smoke alarms!?...how were we to know?

We still had a great night though. A bit quieter than our last 2 gigs (we've probably been quite spoilt there) but it just meant there was more room for the dancing that went on - especially during songs like Sit Down, Human (the second time...without the smoke alarm!), and the new one we stuck on at the end of the night.

[What do you mean, you want to know what new one we did? I already told you in an earlier blog post...you just weren't paying attention! Read it again, and look closely this time!] ;-)

Anyway, we really enjoyed playing at The Mill and we're looking forward to going back sometime.

Finally, I just want to say a HUGE thank you to Michael at the Oxhill Central WMC for his tireless efforts in promoting our gig there last Thursday. Apparently, our faces were posted all over the town - from community centres to doctors surgeries. Well worth the effort, Michael, and much appreciated - the turnout was amazing!

New Tunes?

We spent quite a long time putting together our initial set and I think it was well worth it. Even if I do say so myself - it seems a pretty good set...a good balance between old & new songs, and the older ones we chose are well known and appreciated today.

The challenge now is to keep the set fresh (so we're not just playing the same things over & over) and still keep that good balance - and that's going to be tricky!?

We've also been toying with a couple "tongue-in-cheek" numbers - maybe cover something you might not expect us to do, you know, a bit "Radio 1 Live Lounge" stylee? It's either going to be totally amazing or absolutely rediculous...who knows?

Not sure if we'll be trying any new tunes in any of the gigs this week - depends on how brave we're feeling...and, of course, I can't give anything away about them - the rest of the band would never forgive me... ;-)
