OK, so here we are again with another update on the "I see them tour", and this weekend, we found our selves in Wigan at the vanilla lounge. This was the 2nd time we have played at this venue, and it still has a slimy wall!! :(
Slimy wall aside, its a decent venue! You can buy buckets of beer and there's plenty of room to mosh ya little titties off on the dance floor! With a good amount of stage room, a good sound, and an experienced sound engineer, this made this venue less of a headache than certain other venues.
Synthetic ecstasy II, seems an ambitious beast to me, with 7 bands on the bill, Im amazed it went as smoothly as it did, mainly down to the actual bands themselves making changeovers as painless as possible! The only incident on the night was outside anyone's control, with our old friends Stormcorporation`s van breaking down on the way to the gig, causing them to have to pull out... gutted, hope you get it fixed and back on the road soon guys!!
All in all, it was quite a long night, with music styles ranging from rock to punk to metal and back again! check out the last blog entry, for a quick low-down on some of the bands we played with. I'm not going to review em all, because my mum taught me that if I cant say somethin nice about someone, don't say anything... with a mixture of out of tune instruments, off beat drummers, shades indoors and inferior equipment, (you gotta feel sorry for the sound engineer!!) it was a breath of fresh when Prototype Angel took to the stage, refreshingly competent in their style, with a nice bit of stage banter, these lads put on a good show, with songs taking you deep and thoughtfully down one road, only to kick the shit out of you with a sonic assault that you never saw coming, very enjoyable and a definite Sa-Da-Ko recommendation, we hope to share a stage with them again soon!
Look out for the next leg of the tour, Manchester on thursday, then Oldham on Friday, get yourselves down and come have a drink with us, it would be good to see ya!!
Just a quick note to end on, when we played, Jay fell on his arse. That was funny. Also, I deep fried a bacon sandwich today, my arteries hate me!!
Laters!
