Talking of gigs. If anyone is near Grays in Essex (Near Lakeside shopping centre) tonight. Pop down to the 'Fat Surfer' (Adjacent to the working mens club) at around 9 pm, and you can watch me in action with my band 'Designs of Chaos'.....Much metallic mayhem may occur!
How was it Chris? (I mean the gig last night, not your hangover this morning!)
Went really well. We'd planned a 35 minute set-list, but at the last moment we were told we had a 45 minute slot, so that was a good start (the more the merrier as far as I'm concerned).
There were probably about 50 people there (much less than when we played the same venue about 6 months ago). I guess the problems were.
a. People are away on holiday.
b. They stuck us on with an alternative band from Grays. A couple of kids told us when they found out who the other (headline) band were, the (other) metal kids stayed away.
But overall we were pleased with the performance (although I did drop a stick, the place was like a sauna and i think it slipped out of my hand due to the sweat!!). My Wife said it was the best gig we've done, and the venue has decent sound and a proper stage!! We'll definitely play there again.
Oh yeah. No hangover......Someone has to drive the kit home!
