[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1361703695' post='1989366'] Doncaster with Dick Venom & The Terrortones last night. First gig since NYE, and as we've been spending the past two months auditioning drummers our first rehearsal with the current one in the afternoon before the gig. Surprisingly few mistakes in the rehearsal and similarly in the gig itself. Doncaster's a bit of strange place (apologies to anyone from there). Saturday night in what looks like the town centre and we appear to be the only people on the streets. The satnav couldn't find a usable route to the venue so we spent 30 minutes driving around trying to find non-pedestrian streets going in the right direction. Must have gone round "the big church" at least 4 times before we found the way... Not a bad little venue, and a friendly promoter (who's also the PA engineer). Free beers (and shots) for the band. It looks a little empty during the first band's set, but when we start playing I can see plenty of people and they are all down at the front! They don't even flinch when Mr Venom vaults over the monitors to join them on RockinRollin' VampireMan, Sounds pretty good on stage and considering that we haven't played together with this line-up for 8 weeks it's remarkably tight - something that both of the other bands on the bill compliment us on. The band playing after us look absolutely devastated that they are expected to follow what we've just done, so all-in-all pretty much a result as they say. Sold a decent amount of CDs and the promoter has asked us back for Halloween. [/quote]
Excellent gig Mr St. Clair It was a mix of good songs with a tight performance, not just from a sound point of view but visually too. I'm sure we were all wondering what Mr Venom was going to do next? Doncaster town centre did seem like a ghost town..very strange. Anyway, nice to meet a fellow basschatter and thanks for your advice !!
