Well we may haven't played for a while and the guys of Spitfire Bullets have been busy
but that doesn't stop us from getting together and playing a one off show in our local boozer!
Thursday arrived with excitement, stress and panic. Of course the odd gig has those little problems
but it happens, it happens to every band.
Spitfire Bullets loaded in to the corner flag at 6pm, not long after silence fiction had turned up.
We all chatted and had a laugh while we got to work setting up the stage, soon after the PA had arrived and work soon was under way setting up everything.
unfortunately the local rock band "Guilty" were unable to perform due to the singers illness and had to pull out, but this didn't stop us.
after Silence Fictions very loud and thunderous sound check and having to rearrange times for the bands to go on, we began the long wait for people to come down. And being a Thursday night in Sunderland which is Rock night, we hoped the misfits of the night will come crashing in hoping to hear some great music.
Silence Fiction kicked off their set with a collection of originals and covers, with some heavy screaming vocals from Shaun and clean high vocals from Emily their newest member of the band.
this band performed a great 45 min set with a small mosh pit consisting of one guy (whitey who we all know from Sunderland) be sure to check out silence fiction if you are a metal fan
Spitfire Bullets took to the stage kicking off with stepping stone and sliding into 5th gear with Spitfire, and being this year the 75 anniversary of the Battle of Britain Rob dedicated the song to those who fought in the air.
nearing to the end of the set a unusual event had occurred, the ex original bassist of Spitfire Bullets from 3 years ago was watching in the crowd, Rob and Michael hadn't spoken or seen each other since September 2013,a very long time if you think about it. Calling this as a sort of a reunion mike had joined rob for the first time in 3 years on stage as a one off performing Beat on the brat and Rock away beach. it was a short performance but was rare to see.
all in all the whole thing was a successful night.
we would like to thank the Corner Flag for putting up with us and also a big thank you to Riff Raff Guitars who hired out the PA system to make this gig possible
and of course thanks to Silence fiction to performing.
