Sunday saw us take to the stage for the first time with our new drummer Harmony, with only a few rehearsals with our newest member who joined us in August, there was no pressure to show off our guns!
I was nervous for our first gig, thinking ahead on how to help our drummer during the set in case of something happens and she forgets the song or the set, but Harmony was very nervous herself, with this being her very first band and also her very first gig with a proper gigging band, we were keeping her calm and from talking her through the set and what would or could happen, i would say anything can happen so expect the unexpected!
So we took to the stage (carpet floor) in a very cramped layout with a huge PA system towering over us and a crowd of eagerly waiting punk fans and musicians waiting for us to kick it off.
We kicked off the set with UK SUBS CID making it a loud entrance to show we're back on the scene!
going through our set list of our original songs and the odd cover and a crowd being pushed back by the volume of the band, we were on top form, with Harmony being cheered and welcomed by the young punk crowd, and flying through the set, i wasn't expecting it but we all put in 100% of hard playing that day, even had to do a encore at the end to fill out our time limit, with that song being Pretty Vacant!
all in all the day was very successful with our newest member of Spitfire Bullets she showed some amazing drumming and performing on the day. Not to forget Symbient's amazing set with them releasing their very first EP, for their final encore i joined them on stage to play a few Ramones tracks "I believe in miracles" and "Blitzkreig bop" ending on the classic track Teenage kicks!
Both Bleach and Symbient played amazing sets on the day with Raish of Bleach performing twice by stepping in on the drums for Symbient as their main drummer Jay had broken his thumb.
we have alot more gigs coming up! so keep a look out on our facebook page
