It's Been A While...

I've been neglecting this blog for a while, but I have the best intentions to revive it. I have a free(ish) weekend coming up so I might try and put some interesting stuff up here. I do of course use 'interesting' in its loosest sense.

In the meantime here's (roughly) what i played at milkshake last night. We had Dan le Sac vs Scroobius Pip playing, and quite frankly it was an excellent night all round. i think I ended up playing from about 10.15 to 11.45.

It started kind of slowly, but it always does these days, however it didn't matter so much as at least it wasn't completely dead. The DJ booth was set up on the stage which made it a lot more fun than usual and I found myself taking it a lot more seriously than i normally would too. I guess that's because there were a lot of obviously new faces who'd come to see the band.

The band were good, but hampered a little by route's shoddy soundsystem and setup. The crowd didn't seem to mind though and it was the best audience I think we've ever had for a band.
