So you can still understand where the whinging's coming from, even though you've reached the point where just hitting the drums for tunes you like is enough. Devils advocate is not an easy job.
Nevertheless there's no point having an industry showcase without the industry being present, even if it is only in body. Congrats on getting P in the Dark but: Would you not be slightly miffed if a band who didn't submit a demo or go through the rest of the selection process got a slot and you didn't?
I knew I was right. Thanks Imprinted, Ive just about stopped laughing. I love the way they've managed to con a photographer into posing like that. Quality.
