Great to get back on the Live track on Saturday night at the Lord Clyde in Byker through NEMIX Promotions. A slight alteration in the line up saw us headlining, so I for one wasnt complaining. Main support band Shinobi Fantobi warmed up well with their original alternative indie set scattered with a few covers including Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles. We hit the stage around 10:15pm with a good crowd of some new and familiar faces, including Mr Keith Newman from Radio Northumberland and Tony Houghton from Collision. We blasted through a tight slick 35 minute set which went down great and it felt good to be back in action. As we played set closer 'Mexicola' my lasting vision is of Mr Houghton punching the air outside singing along just as a Police car hastily pulled up to the venue. I must say, there were no arrests :) Thanks to a rather refreshed Mark from NEMIX for putting this event on and enjoying our set. With the bar closing at a frustratingly early time we celebrated a great gig with pre-bought Cider in the car park using 'borrowed' pint glasses and an empty vodka bottle. Nice.
So on to Sunday and a last minute stand in support slot down at The Doll at The Black Bull in Gateshead with Manchester Punk Folkers ROUGHNECK RIOT, on their Out Of Anger UK Tour. We got to meet the band during Soundcheck and they were a cool bunch and really appreciative and like minded in what we're doing. With the venue filling up nicely we took to the stage at 9.10pm. We blasted through the same 35 minute set as Saturday night but almost with a little more vigour as the vibe and reaction of the Doll brought out the best in us and our new friends and fans lapped it up. After the gig we sold out of PSYCHO RADIO CDs so the original run of those copies has now ended. But fear not, we've got some pretty cool news coming of whats happening next, so watch this space. So with the merchandise selling well we enjoyed a beer or 3 watching ROUGHNECK RIOT rip through their mandolin banjo guitar bass accordion political folk punk for the people! Also good of the band to give LoGOz a few shout outs from the stage too. Cheers guys. Another great night for the band and we ended it with a few photos and banter with the RIOT's as well as some unofficial after hours consumation. Thanks to Shev from The Doll for putting us on and also to everyone who came to see us over the weekend. We really appreciate the support, you know who you are :) Lots more to talk about in my next blog coming later this week. Stay tuned :)
