Ross

Firstborn: "Hi, We're Firstborn, an up and coming Rock band from Harpenden, Herts, and we'd appreciate a few minutes of your time. We've recently recorded two new songs for industry purposes after alot of interest from different walks of the industry, and are going to be heading back into the studio to record a further two, to complete our debut EP to shop to the labels. We've decided to put both of these tracks on the internet for your listening pleasure (we hope), and they can be streamed on http://www.purevolume.com/firstborn The tracks were produced by Dan Weller (guitarist - SikTh), with assistance from Justin Hill (vocalist - SikTh), and mixed by Tim Young (Iron Maiden - Dance Of Death) @ Alberts in London. Thanks for reading, any feedback or comments to firstbornmusic@hotmail.com would be greatly appreciated. Take care and thanks for reading (if you got this far!) Firstborn. www.firstbornmusic.com"

Mellissa Auf D`mar is the support..... there is a download on her site. Quite good actually. I`d purchase a ticket and go if it wasn`t a Friday

I can only assume that you mean Ross that works behind the bar unless I`ve suddenly rolled off the wagon into a pit of drunken forgetfulness.

Kris you are a comic genius... Write a sit-com and rule the world

I actually got HMV to take back some vouchers about 7/8 years ago.... I had a conversation with management and said that I will never buy anything in their shop..I was very polite about it and stated my case... I left the vouchers on the desk and walked out..... A security guard stopped me and the manager gave me 20 and said it was strange to see a kid sticking to his guns so much.

Yeah When Did Flight 19 split..... news to me..

I`ve not even voted or seen the votes until now.... Vote Air Guitar

Isn`t that the Dave Pearce show?

Only done one pic and this is it..... More shall follow eventually.... Sadly the black isn`t black and the white isn`t white but I`ll get it sorted..... I reckon Keilan will know what I`m talking abut but few others.. Ah well... Long night.....

My Pics are fucking ace.... Well Chuffed with them... Best ones I`ve done in a long time...... Currently trying to work out how to use Adobe Photoshop as I`ve just installed it......

Sorry.. couldn`t resist Quiz on Sunday...... 8pm Laaaavvvly

Ruckus.... Worth every penny!

I dislike BC Rich guitars and basses... Also Flying Vs and Strats should be played by Blues guitarists and Clapton wannabes.... [/soapbox]

Normal Service resumes: Friday 2nd - Bond*age - 2.50 B4 11.30 with Flyer or NUS Saturday 3rd - Air Guitar Wednesday 7th - Flying Circus Thursay 8th - Caged Etc Etc

True .... Personal favourite momment was watching the Upstarts once and the bass player handed his bass and pulled out a trumpet.... "What the fuck is he doing with that trumper?" was the utterance from Mr Christie..... Followed by a "For fucks sake, bloody kids bands!" and he ran through the crowd and set up a brass mic in a few momments.... Initially the trumpet sounded rank but heh got a decent sound out of it pretty promptly and thus it wasn`t too noticable for the crowd.. I just laughed my ass off.....

Wow..... 10 Easy wishes have come on so much in the past year..... Will venture out to see you live at the next available opertunity.

Damn skippy.... Sadly I don`t have any 10 Easy Wishes Tracks.... I`d rectify that if I knew how

I`ll give myself a big.."Duuuhhhh" for asking that... Apologies.... Blatant plug I know... Actually if you go to www.hubl.co.uk you can down load a very early recording of Evening Spread... It`s well over 16 months old...

Not a problem... Also why aren`t The 44s in your listening to ..... Hmm... The EP is delayed again at the pressing plant..... 5th January at the earliest now..... BOO... that`s a month late....

If it`s playing a gig then don`t rush into it.... If 200 peaople are watching you and you`re under-reheared then it`ll be hard to win them over when you get much better... Use your soundcheck time once you are ready to gig and also inform the sound man of all the instruments you are using and any effects that you may wish on vocals etc. Wear a watch and get one band member to keep an eye on the time and make sure you start and finish on time.. Best usually the bassist as they don`t usually do anything but play bass and stand at the back. If you do all of these things and both look and act the professional band then you`ll be asked back by the venue/promotor soon enough.... DON`T PISS OFF A SOUNDMAN....... ESPECIALLY IAN CHRISTIE

Well as it`s new year all the staff get paid double time..... Thus it costs a shit load of money.... It`s 3.50 all year round or 2.50 before 11.30..... So in a sence it should be either 7 or 5..... Hece the 5 cos it`s a better price to pay..... Don`t you think...?

I think Liquid are charging 8 qand a few are charging 10..... who ever has Fergie.... At New Year some places just charge a fucking fortune for the hell of it... Sadly...

Moshulu is open until 3am rather than 2am..... 10.30pm til 3am 5 Entry...... None of this 7 nonsence that it is for many other clubs...

Sometimes it`s ot the best idea to go bounding down the front of a gig to see a band... Especially when your first gig is The Exploited.... Ouch.. the pain!
