COOL! Is there some audio track or video online that we can listen to of your band? What do the girls play. :) I like seeing girls in bands. Yeah! More!! Us chicks aren't out there enough IMO.

Man that was an awesome night, it went really well :)

I was pretty nervous while we were waiting to go on but the nerves vanished as soon as we started playing and I really enjoyed it. Seemed to go down really well and we got lots of positive comments afterwards which was really cool. Can't wait for the next one now \o/

Jan, there should hopefully be some pics and video soon - I'll post links here when I get them. We were just playing a support slot - the band in the pic is [url=http://www.thebirthdaysuit.co.uk/]The Birthday Suit[/url] who were headlining. They played a cover of [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXa-QDvxacw]Rhythm Is A Dancer[/url] (a 90's club classic) at the end of their set which was absolute genius :D

Wow. High energy!

=D

Glad to hear it all went well!!

So ... booked for future gigs already? Best time to snag more gigs at the same venue is right after a successful night! That's what the bands Felix plays in try to do. Get a future date right then and there! :)

We've got another gig lined up for the 3rd August which should be really good. We were supposed to be playing a slot at a festival this afternoon too but it's been cancelled due to the recent bad weather - apparently the site is flooded which is a shame as there must have been 40 bands booked for it :(
