There is now a FB event: [url="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=212149442139740"]http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=212149442139740[/url] Come and see my new band and a couple of other great rock acts too. Promises to be a great night and hope to see some of you there!

We did have the one battle of the bands style gig, which was great fun, and a great crowd. Everything went fine, apart from me being about 15 16 and having braces, and a semi-broken mic that gave me an electric shock through my mouth whenever I went near it....

Had a friend's birthday party, she booked the town hall, and had a few friends' bands lined up to play on the stage, I was merely in attendance. My good friend's band's bass player no showed, I was thrust a bass (already semi-pissed) and asked to go on stage, to play a bunch of covers I didn't know, a large amount of guesswork and copying the guitarists hand movements ensued, they also tried happy birthday, that was bad, I do not know how to play happy birthday. It got worse after we'd mucked through 4 songs and they were like, next song is this one....guitarist, who was new also, thrusts me the guitar and says, I don't know this one, I muck along to Pinball Map by In Flames, solo and all, not knowing a single note in the song. Awful experience, but pulled the birthday girl, jackpot! Had a bad one at a gig I organised, got a touring band coming over from holland for it along with a few others from all over the uk. I thought my a string was feeling dodgy in practice so changed it last minute. 30s into a very e-oriented song of around 5 minutes, my e-string goes, oh the irony. With everyone else in completely miles off tunings, I run off stage post song, rip a string off the previous band's bass and replace mine, the band wait a coupla minutes, but then crack on with the next song. I'm part way through winding my string when the solo comes. This solo has a very high bass solo, with the one guitar harmonised with it. There was no bass, there was my guitarist playing a harmony part alone, sounded dreadful. I emerged for the rest of the set, which was fine, I just wish they had thought not to play that song of all of them, without me!

VENUE CHANGE TO HEROES BAR, 147 KENTISH TOWN ROAD, KENTISH TOWN, NW1 8PB Thanks, hope to see some of you there.

Welcome indeed. I assume the cat name is a reference to the Emperor frontman?

Welcome aboard, I've been in london for 18 months now but was in devon for a good 10 years before that, lovely part of the world to be in. Whereabouts in Devon are you from?

My first gig with Medusa, and the drummer's too. We're supporting L.U.V. (Americans, signed to realize records, with 4 very pretty girls as a backing band, playing rock'n'roll type stuff). It's at Heroes Bar, Kentish Town, which is brand new and up and coming. Only £5 entrance, not sure when we're on but get there from 7 and get pissed, it's not bad prices for London. Our stuff is a bit more like rock/grunge/softish metal than LUV, but always worth a listen, check us out via the link in my signature, or the album "Can't f***ing Win" on Spotify (not me on any of the recordings). Be good to see any of you down there, all support is welcome and it promises to be a good night, and a great club to be in too!
