Big Gig... Hayseed Dixie etc..

Right, since I last updated the website with random ramblings, we've been busy... again!

We played the Big Gig up here in Thurso, had a fuckin great time! I think we covered everyone in that field in Astronot stickers. I've seen loads of them around Thurso since then. Good stuff. Despite the crappy weather, people turned out in force which was amazing. I'm pretty sure there was around 250-300 people there when we hit the stage.

We rattled through our set quite quickly. Stevie B must have harassed everyone in that field... even the people who I'd consider non-targets for abuse. "Stevie T is playing tomorrow... don't give him a fuckin wireless kit though" Well done Mr Bruce... we couldn't get you to shut up for almost an hour!

A week or so later, we played with bluegrass kings, Hayseed Dixie, over two nights. A bit of a bizarre support slot for us, but I think it worked. We played rock music to a rock crowd who were out to see an amazing band. They spoke some clever shit.. all above our mediocre public school educated heads, meeting them was like living in an episode of Dukes Of Hazzard. The mandolin player was the first member of Hayseed Dixie we met... "How y'all doing?"... anyone in Texas would've been proud of that... hell, I think even Fred Durst would've been so excited by the Y'all... he'd consider re-issuing the first Limp Bizkit album!! "What y'all eating? Chinese Food? Lord have mercy!!"

Darren was straight on the phone to his brother "he sounds like Dukes Of Hazzard!!!"

We didn't get to steal their moonshine however, which, as you can imagine, was slightly upsetting.

The quote of the weekend goes to the bass player(excuse my ignorance, but I forget his name)... Darren was speaking to him the day after the Thurso gig.

Bass player "we played in a town called Thurso last night..."
Darren "Yeah we were there..."
Bass player "you were there???"

Bass players... seriously...

All for now... I'll get some more stuff up soon. We've got Glasgow and Edinburgh on the 13th and 14th of September and then our first real festival appearance to prepare for...

Cheers
Jamie
