Arctik rocked!!! Well, actually, they didn't 'rock' at all, but they did something just as good. Extremely impressive for a first gig. They must have been practising for quite a while. Only one or two small criticisms.

-One of your songs kinda ripped off the Sigur Rós song that was doing the rounds on MTV2 a while ago. However, I can hardly blame you, as that is one of the best chord progressions I've heard in recent times.

-Biggest problem was that your songs dragged a little bit, because there wasn't quite enough variation from part to part. You often just repeated the same thing for ages, without changing. This works as background music (a lot of the music I listen to at home is very repetitive), but for a live band, you need more to interest hte audience.

Don't htink I'm being negative htough, that's jsut the best constructive criticism I could come up with. I was really impressed with you guys, and will definitely come see you again, if you announce your gigs on here somewhere, as I really enjoy the music that you guys play.

.....Oh, one more thing. Next time, please set up the piano so that I can see your pianist playing. I was quite upset that he was behind a wall the whole time.
Looking forward to your next gig!
