The Enterprise! – Round Up

So, the gig at The Enterprise?

It wasn’t looking too promising to begin with, unfortunately heavy traffic meant that Simon and JD didn’t get there until a little later and we could only get a line check. But everything made a noise and we looked all set.

Unfortunately Simon King’s amp wasn’t quite loud enough for a reason we haven’t been able to really work out. It was certainly a powerful enough amp and the band before us (The Dead Cannons, who’s amp it was) had enough volume coming from it. As it was, some of the songs didn’t quite have the same impact.

As if this wasn’t enough Simon King’s guitar decided to break a string halfway through “All Too Easy”. Ever the professional though he carried on singing while waiting for the appropriate time to dive and pick up the spare guitar before carrying on as if nothing had happened. 🙂

Despite these few hiccups, everything went well. The crowd were great, the engineer (Cliff) was great at giving us a great sound and the two new songs (“The Vice” and “Awake”) went down swimmingly.

Many thanks to Mark at BIG NOTE for the gig, Cliff, the guys from The Dead Cannons for lending us the guitar amp and the Hi-Hat stand, and to everyone who came along.

Cheers 🙂
