I've been listening to lamplighter for a while and really like his stuff.

I'd say that upstairs at the blue lamp is an odd venue, not bad by any means but might fox some people.

The choice of venue is pretty sweet in my eyes. It would be a pity if a non-usual location would prevent people from checking this out.

Yeah, you're right. It's a cool little area to do something. I used to work in the Blue lamp and did the bar up there from time to time for private parties. It's the kind of size that you don't need a huge number of people for it to be busy. What time is it on until? I would like to come but I've got a gig the same night (if it's late enough I'll come down afterwards).

Ha good some nice responses there!

It's not me who's organising it but I think we can do music till one?
Not sure, rockaustin might know better than me - do you know if they keep a strict curfew? :-)

It is definitely a great venue and I think it will work nicely with the music too.

Cheer released an great album "Static Traps" on Benbecula Records (Christ, Frogpocket etc) at the beginning of the year. Well worth checking out.
Lamplighter used to be called Cynical Letdown. I only saw him play one gig under that name but he was very good.
Great to see the Blue Lamp catering to a different type of music from usual. Perfect venue for it.

May I just allude quickly to a thread about flyering in the music discussion section of this website and say that had this poster not had small descriptions of each act, I would not be attending.

But it does. And I like what it says. So I am.

I have a Cheer CD, that would be my main reason for going. And the fact that it's something different, in a different space. If anybody wants to see what bar rooms looked like 30 years ago, this is the one for you.
