Blind and Delirious

Hi everybody (the few people reading this blog yet I'd say)

As you can see from the "gigs" section next to this, we now have the first confirmed date for the "Torino Sotterranea" contest. It'll be on the 12nd of January so it's still pretty far away. Rules of this competition are quite simple: 20-minutes set for each band, no volume limits (well, they really didn't say anything about it). We really hope we'll do some more shows before anyway. We are waiting for another contest ("Rock On Circle") to tell us the start and hopefully a closer date.

Yesterday at the reharsals it was really a mess. The band playing before us left the place fifteen minutes later and the room really looked terrible. Roy was late as he always is. Our songs sounded far more speedy than usual. Well they didn't really "sound" like that, WE DID THEM LIKE THAT. We were completely in the mood and just didn't want to do things peacefully. Ham turned his amplifier at maximum volume on my request.. it didn't sound loud at all before! Are we damaging out ears already? It could be. Anyway, after a killing cover of Who's "My Generation", things fell apart and Ham threw the microphone away. Myself, trying to follow what was happening but keeping on playing, accidentally let my drumstick hit my eye. Fuck knows how it happened.. My left-eye lens died shortly after it. Rest In Peace.

Tonight, me and Ham will be watching the great Radio Birdman playing the Live Club in Trezzo, a village not too far from Milan. The unlucky Roy won't be able to join us instead. I wish you all a great weekend as the one we're getting close to. See you soon.

Cheers, Jody
