Live & Alive
Hi there
Been a while since my last post here. We had a long weekend this past week. First, me and Ham travelled to some village near Piacenza on Saturday to meet Carla & Fabrizio of Tea Kettle. We had a really good time with a dinner them, talking about future plans as regards the agency and the label that we hope we'll be part of. Then we celebrated Carla for getting gratuated. Ham performed a solo show voice+guitar which, despite problems with his vocals for being ill, turned out more than fine. He played some new tunes that still haven't been done at rehearsals. From what they sounded with the guitar only, I believe these will become really good ones.
Yesterday, after watching our football team Toro winning again and jumping straight to Europe cups on table, we had the show at Rock On Cicle. We were the last to play and went onstage around 00.30 am. Despite playing in front of just a few people (almost all of the six friends attending) we did a very good one. Ham had to face difficulties as the ampli stopped working in the middle of "Replacements", which me and Roy kept playing to the end. We played it again and this time we didn't suffer from any more problems. This was the first time we got to play a new song, currently called "shoegazer". Of course it's still a working title and it's called like that as it sounds shimmering like the early nineties' bands. It seemed to be an highlight of the set together with "Catch A Breath". We went out of the contest only getting 4 votes from the public (plus 20 from the judges), not enough to go close to the bands who had taken lots of friends with them. Are we feeling upset? Not at all. We only cared of playing at our best, no matter if we hadn't passed the turn. Turin isn't ready for loud pop tunes and we are not willing to wait.
Here we go with the setlist:
(Noise intro to)
POP DREAMS
SATAN
REPLACEMENTS
CATCH A BREATH
HIDE AWAY
SHOEGAZER
(fucking noisy end)
That will do it for 2006. Next year it will have to be a great one. We all think it's going to be like that so we keep fingers crossed. We wish you a Happy Christmas and Happy New Year and we'll keep this updated with news as we have them. Next show will be on 12th January at Zoo Bar for Torino Sotterranea. Then Glastonbury, Benicassim and All Tomorrow's Parties ;)
All the best
Cheers
