no reviews of last night ?????????????

Aye!

It was great.

Robochrist was manning the merchandise stall, and then as I wandered into the venue I saw Jase, so had a word with him.

The God Damn Whores were God Damn marvellous, as was Robochrist.

Ginger played a good set, nice mix of new and old stuff and he seemed happy and enjoying himself.

I had a quick word with Hot Steve at the bar, and was stood next to CJ for a few minutes as well.

Oh, and I also met Trudi, which was nice!

Cracking night!

cheers mate nice to know somebody went
any stuff from yoni ?

[beerofthedark]

Still deaf, great set.
you want more? *sigh*
i am aching, you know. anyway, they opened with Black Windows, which sounds great live and finished with 29x, where i received many bruises. In between we were treated to an incredible array of gems from Valor, Silver Ginger 5 and the Wildhearts. Particular highlights for me were Drinking in the Daytime, newie Can't Drink You Pretty and Sonic Shake.
Ginger seemed in avery good mood, and the bans sounded together and looked like they were having a lot of fun.
i am paying for it now, but nothing's wiping this grin off my face - can't wait for the album!

Yes,

Erm. Black Windows, When She Comes, Why Can't you be normal all the time and maybe one other. I'm sure some other kind soul will tell you if I've got it wrong!

Last nights gig was sweet. GDW and Robochrist were good entertainment. Slightly weird seeing the main act support themselves in a different line-up, very weird seeing a man dressed as a gothic clown performing an industrial metal version of the Grange Hill theme! Robochrist may have confused a lot of people with his set, but for me it was great fun and the big surprise of the night. Ginger was amazing. He mentioned in the BBC6 Music interview that he finds it weird now he’s playing gigs sober, but the band were so tight last night I don’t think he has any cause for concern! We got new tracks (Black Windows and The Night I Was Born Again being the only ones I know the name of), some Sonic Circus (Yeah, Yeah, Yeah and Drinking In The Daytime amongst others), Supersonic Shake by Silverginger 5, and 29 Times the pain, So Into You and Eager To Leave Her by The Wildhearts. As always Ginger brought the banter between songs and was in fine singing voice throughout. My one gripe with the gig was that it seemed low on attendance. Maybe the venue was too large, but I thought there’d be more in – where were you Ginger fans?! Anyway, regardless of that it was an awesome show and I left with a very large and very drunk smile on my face!

I think the low attendance was probably due to the weather stopping people getting into London, and also getting out, pretty much all trains were cancelled yesterday.

i thought the gig last night was flippin ace. GDWs were excellent, i purchased the album and have been listening to it at my desk all day!

robochrist, i really enjoyed him, thought it was very funny and that thing with the 'wherthers original' dialogue at the end was absolute genius.

ginger was good, great to hear a few surprises - brain sugar and eager to leave 'er especially - and they all seemed in pretty chipper mood. jase's guitar was the coolest thing ever as well! was surprised not to hear mother city or drunken lord of everything, but hey ho. i also got bruises during 29 x the pain!!!

only gripes were that it seemed like a bit of a short main set, and the gap between doors opening and gdw's coming on-stage - that'll teach me to get there on time!!!

so - who was the guy down the front who was telling everyone to 'jump' while we were waiting for the encore? and then proceeded to get in every one of some girl's pictures that she was trying to take of ginger??? i think i probably crashed into you dude about 50 times durning 29 x the pain, it was a great singalong!

I think the low attendance was probably due to the weather stopping people getting into London, and also getting out, pretty much all trains were cancelled yesterday.

I only got there because I shared a cab from bleedin' Rochester! (which took three hours and 90 quid - there were three of us, but still - ouch!) Trees had inconsiderately had a lie down on virtually every train line from Kent to London, which buggered things up somewhat. Stage time was due to be 8 but slipped a bit possibly due to the bands being informed about the transport problems - i didn't think the turnout was terrible by any stretch!
