Cheers

They're a blues/rock band Kev. They can't be all that bad. Playing in the Viper Rooms in LA a few days after the Skins gig.

Woaw,
Sure there not extras from the Matrix?

**Jeid** · 30-Aug-06, 21:44

Bit cheesy innit?

**BigKev** · 31-Aug-06, 12:27

On first glance i must say i thought they were some sort of german rock band. But thats just based on hair and appearance.

The burning question is though, are they going to outshine the mighty AstroNot?

Jeid, Is the MK1 Tele-custom going to make an appearance on sunday?

**Jeid** · 31-Aug-06, 12:31

I'm sure they'll outshine Astronot without much effort.

The MK1 will be there yeah. I might actually use it for a song.

What time you wanting us in for a soundcheck? We're bringing our own drums it seems.

**BigKev** · 31-Aug-06, 12:56

Sound check eh,

Since two drum kits are getting used, organisation begins to get a bit dodgy.

We only have one set of drum mics so, only one sound check can be left on the desk. I dont really want to resort to writing down settings for Zhane. But it might come to that.

Ideally, for doors opening at 7:30, i should turn up at 2, our kit ready (rigged and EQ'd) for 3, Zhane in at 3- 3:30. Their check done at 4:30. You on and checked for around 6. Gives an hour and a bit to play with.

Unfortunately this is to be determined by the arrival of our german friends. And also im supposed to be at the pantomime auditions on sunday aswell. So i may be enlisting your bassist for a while.

It will be alright on the night, its the bit that leads up to it which will be interesting!!

**Jeid** · 31-Aug-06, 12:59

Don't worry about it. We haven't had a practise in a couple of weeks. Soundcheck could turn into band practise.

The problem with the drums is, that the Zhain drummer is left handed, so changing things over could be a real pain.

Let Stevie know what the craic is cos you'll more likely see him this weekend. Just give him a time and he can sort us out.... hrm... maybe that's a bit hopeful actually!

anyone else notice how the guy on the right of the poster looks like kev fae plastic food? is kev moonlighting as a german rockstar? he's got the long leather jacket!

**Jeid** · 31-Aug-06, 13:07

I thought the guy in the middle was a poor man's Toni Iommi

**moncur** · 31-Aug-06, 13:09

and has anyone told them not to bother wearing sunglasses in thurso?

**BigKev** · 31-Aug-06, 17:27

Cool, quite a band eh. tonni and kev and.... Whos the last guy?

BTW was my own speculation as to their nationality!!! (they might not be german!!)

Will let stevie know sometime np.

**Jeid** · 31-Aug-06, 17:32

Cheers dude.

Shouldn't take us long to get a sound.

**Gleber2** · 31-Aug-06, 19:01

No problem to a man of your calibre I'm sure.
