Never In A Month Of Sundays Pt 2
Word up!
Ok, I had the second of my four Sunday gigs last night at The Abbey in Kentish Town. To thoroughly prepare myself, I went out the night before, got absolutely hammered, and finally got to bed at 8am Sunday morning. Yeah, I felt like a pig shat in my head. Not good. I didn't need to worry too much because everyone was in the beer garden and I only had an audience of three. Fair play, I wouldn't have gone in to watch me either. A friend of mine persuaded four of her mates to come along but even they couldn't be arsed, and stayed outside for the whole night, as did most of the pub funnily enough.
Here's an arty shot of me through a beer glass...
I played quite well. I had a few technical problems but I was so hungover I just went with it. The guitar cutting out through the whole first three songs of my set gave it a certain minimalist edge. Apparently my voice sounded better than it's ever done! If that means I have to go and get w*nkered every night before a show, who am I to argue?
There was a decent act on the bill. They were a french duo, one boy and one girl, both quite cute, and they did an indie/electro/French/dreamy sort of set. It really suited my mood. When the set was over, he lent over and kissed her and you could hear all the guys in the room (all 6 of them) give a little sigh of disappointment! The guy had some Converse Starlon on though so fair play to him. They are high-tops that I'd never seen before. Remember Hi-Tec Manhattans? A bit like those. Anyway, to hear them, go to www.myspace.com/telegrammeaJane
Here's areally sh*t photo of them..
Finally, big up to my number one fan Jellyfish. He comes to every North London gig I play the crazy fool. He always get's the beers in and although he compares my stuff to some really dodgy bands, he keeps me going! We even got a veggie burger on the way home together as he helped carry my stuff up Kentish Town Rd! Here's a photo of him doing what he does best!...
Bless him!
Ok, so this Sunday's gig is in a basement bar. Chances of me getting an audience? Probably the same as Spurs qualifying for the Champion's League next season. Why do I bother I hear you ask? I do it for you dear reader! My blog would be dull otherwise wouldn't it?!!
In a bit yeah?
