Gig
Saturday 21 February 2004
I knew it would happen.
With a name like ours, it was inevitable: an unfamiliar name; a hastily scribbled listing in block capitals in a dark corner of the bar, passed to an innocent signwriter… And so we arrived at the Cameron House last night to find ourselves billed as “Fuckershow”.
It was a good gig. The folks at the Cameron are very good to musicians, and the sound was excellent. David’s band rocked - they’ve made amazing strides since their first gig only a month or two ago. And the Peyote Kings were wild jam lunatics and nice guys. As for us… we’ve done better sets, but this one went quite well all the same. I’m increasingly aware that I like bass much better than guitar, and apparently it shows. Seeing Davy’s songs come alive with a full band sealed it for us: we have to find a lead guitarist, and soon. Not to mention a drummer.
I’m off tomorrow to try out with a new band, too, whom we met at an open stage a couple months ago. I’m really looking forward to it - I haven’t played with new musicians in far, far too long! And perhaps I can snag one or two of them into playing with us. We’ll see.
