arrived at about 11:30 to find that the american hermit (apparently
thrush hermit minus ian?) had already played (wow an early show at
birdland!:) the chinstraps were fantastic, kind of a purple
knight/bubaiskul screaming lyrics filled with dry humor ("i hate
get-togethers!") over HUGE drum sounds. and what was with that sign on
stage? (an eagle in flight with "the chinstraps" in xtra lrg letters)?
one of those "my what a massive sound for just 2 people" things...:)
jale were good but the sound was a little muddy. the new songs are very
sombre though the audience seemed to respond well (after the obligatory
mucheast audience shots had already been filmed duh:) to the older stuff
(they don't play much of that, i remember 3 days) & songs fr the closed
ep (double edge). oh yeah and shant drank champagne with eve while adam &
i were busy giving pieces of his birthday cake away:) to sloannetters &
local celebrities (matt clarke who'd just celebrated a b-day on wed
seemed esp happy to receive some, apparently he's helping peter rowan
(fellow cake recipient) with pop exp things & there will indeed be all
ages shows yayy! he's also practicing with a new band now
too!...superfriendz matt murphy & temp chris also recd cake as did jenny
pierce & not 1 person complained about hair :) (tho some1 did lick the knife)
