just wanted to give an update on what happened at the MA london show. first off, sorry to anyone who left after the show stopped initially- the audio interface (828) decided to die completely right in the middle of the first track. it was totally mysterious and obviously completely unexpected...about an hour later, standing outside the club, trying to figure out whether there was any way the show could still happen, darshan and some of the people who were putting on the night came trotting around the corner, 828 in tow- it turns out that lady miss keir of dee-lite fame(!), who happened to be close by, had one in her studio and was gracious enough to lend it. it was a miracle that one turned up close to 2am!
it was great to see such a receptive, vocal crowd and hopefully the people who stayed enjoyed the show in its entirety. let this be an example of all the work that still goes on behind a laptop live show...i honestly think organzing a small orchestra of dyslexic chimpanzees would have been easier than putting that set together. -ana Date: 06 May 2002 13:16 Subject: [313] Some new records, Metro Area live & football anthems Swimming". > >Went to see Metro Area at Plastic People but it didn't all go according to >plan.
