weekender

Sunday night, knackered.. happy. that was a really good weekend.

thursday night I went to Eric's new monthly event, for Leafcutter John's performance of his new album. It was a great wee venue, the Flea Pit, and very intimate performance space, separated from the bar, for a really good listening experience. I had to leave tho, as Like A Stuntman had arrived off the plane from Germany, and were heading to my house. We stayed up smoking and drinking and catching up for a while. Friday eve, they had a show at Silver Rocket upstairs at the Garage with Rainer Maria, Blood Red Shows, and October All Over. Both opening bands were pretty good. Like A Stuntman started off a bit ropey, but pulled it together by half way through, and ended with one of their best performances of The Fuck Concert song. I got some early versions of their new songs they are working on, and they sound ace!

Saturday night, the Marcia Blaine School For Girls were down from Glasgow, Dave and Ruaridh were DJing at Werk, or at least thats what i had thought, but they actually did a Village Unit live set, which is their ragga dancehall mashup project, in full costumed regalia! Absolute genius!
