GIG - Rascals, Bangor

Inferno, Bad Dog, Braxton Hicks, Jed is Dead, I Fight Lions

Dinosaur Garden didn't show up, and were meant to provide a drumkit. It turned out to be a good thing really as 6 bands was far too many for one gig, and Inferno had their set cut short anyway as time was running out (1.20am).

This was the launch night of our new EP 'The Bench' - we sold 9 copies, which, by our standards is pretty impressive - was a good turn out too...

We were a bit worse for wear due to the evil drink. Gwion was out on the town on a HMV staff party, so he turned up 20 minutes before we were due on.

Sound was poor due to karaoke mics. Lots of good banter between songs lots of interaction between band and audience - good fun..., oh and Neil bit Joe's arm.

Set list.. Macho Man / I Don't Wanna Be You / Depression / I Won't Take The Blame / Depend On You / This Song Was Never Written / Never Kill Yourself / All In / Gone Fishin' / Poison By Rancid

We were supposed to open with a new track Belly's Gonna Getcha but because our rehearsal room had been double booked, we took the safe option and did Macho Man instead. Did play 2 new tracks Depend On You and  All In which we played ok. Funny not playing  Government To Be and  Get Outta My Head.

Neil and Joe went to a party in Tregarth afterwards where Slayer, Hendrix and AC/DC was played at maximum volume... Joe finished the evening hugging Neil's toilet...

Joe wrote this on our facebook page... 'Great gig last night in Bangor and fantastic audience (until you started chanting 'Weasley! Weasley! Weasley!' at me....bastards.) You know its been a good night when you wake up hugging the toilet bowl and lying on Neil Crud's bathroom floor completely unable to move! great times. We flogged 9 EPs last night, hope you enjoy it (its like hearing us play live but better.....) Hope the guys that lost their jobs at HMV get one soon, in the mean time Gwion says he'll share his wage packet with you all.'

 The Bench EP only came out today but its already making children violent..!!
