In Defense of The Genre

Its been nearly a month since i posted my first blog, id be lieing if i said i didnt intend to wait this long before i posted my next one. This weekend saw the band in Hythe, somewhere we had never actually been before however played so close to on numerous occassions.Once we had collected Ben from Southampton station we made our way over the river into foreign grounds, neglecting to ask anyone where Hythe actually was or to bring a sat nav we got to our destination by observing the indercating actions of a bus in my rear view mirror heading towards Hythe.

It was a wierd show for me, being in a place so similair to a "venue" back home that I feel, as much as we hate to admit it,to a small degree shaped me and alot of my friends into the performers/musicians we are today. I think its great to see kids coming to shows and showing intrest in music in their local scene cause at the end of the day thats what its about.

The gig itself was alot of fun, not exactly the tightest set we had ever played but it didnt really matter to any of us I dont think. We were having a good time with our friends and doing what we love most, cant complain about that.I found it was a way of easing out those post tour blues I so commonly find myself getting. Highlights for me included ripping the entire crotch of my jeans three songs into our set and a stage invasion from Pierre La Bear that left many a teary eye in the crowd.
