Dan G Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Dear mods - please don't move this thread!This thread could possibly be in the music discussion, gig and announcement, feedback, My Minds Weapon, Point Of Origin, Quik or Henry J/Moshulu forums. That is 7 forums. I reckon no one will bother looking through all of them to start or find a thread about this. So for the benefit of everyone, if this could please bend the rules a little and stay here that would be lovely.Anyway, for the benefit of all the bands or people who want to tell us whether they liked it or not, feel free to express here!P.S. I did look through all mentioned forums and couldn't find anything on it, except that million year old Retract The Thorn 2 thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therandomblonde Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Indeed, as anticipated, the gig was ace! And, that's all i have to say! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scott 5FD Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 i was impressed with Femora, didn't know Crocker could sing like that. to think, i could have played bass for them aswell.......first time seeing MMW with a full line up, not my sorta thing but i thought they were good and have a great stage presence.PoO were ace again, i'm liking them i am.had to leave after that, buses and all. it was a good turn out considering the weather, me and Sarah were frozen by the time we got to Moshulu, but then we did have to walk form the hospital coz we missed the bus.would like to see more gigs like this at Moshulu, i fairly enjoyed what i saw.

Marty Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Big thanks to one and allhicheers to everyone for the support, twas much, muchly appreciated! if all gigs are as cool as that then things will be good...thanks again guysps extra thanks to the two dudes who spoke to me and sye after the gig didn't catch they're names but thankssee y'all on march 8th at drakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonie Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 well i thought it was an awesome night all round.femora were excellent for a first gig. like ben said, i thought it began to drag a bit because there were some pretty long songs, and there were a few little mistakes, but for a first gig, i was impressed. we were shite at our first gig. mind you. we're still shite now, but that's besides the point! anyway, i think that with a little bit of polishing and a few more gigs under the belt, they could be onto a winner.weapon were the band of the night for me. they were the main reason i was there, having not had a chance to see them yet and i thought they were awesome. they looked like a band on stage, you could see they were having fun and the songs all contained enough to keep you interested without forgetting to rock out!PoO were quality. it's been a long time since i've seen them but bob has clearly spent every hour since then working on his stage moves! he could maybe do to look for the volume knob on his amp and turn it in the down direction at some point and stephen was wearing the largest, whitest trousers that my eyes have ever witnessed, but apart from that, a quality setand finally came quik. they were heavy as fuck for the most part, and sounding great. i thought ben was gonna go right throught the kit on nicotine and blairs new amp is sounding sweet (although he needs more low end on it!) nonetheless, they were excellent and brought the night to a pleasurable end.it's all gravy and well worth getting up at 5:30 this morning to get on a train back to glasgow so that i could make it to a professional software development lecture!spoons X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Tank Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 I had a great time, even thought i was really nervous, i'm glad that eveyone has something positive to say, and that makes me feel alot better.The best band of the night for me has to be My Minds Weapon, They impressed me alot with there new songs. Hopfully to see them again soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhino Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 never made it because of work, sorry.. was going to come after but found out you guys were on first so would have missed femora anyways, only band worth while seeing on that bill in my opinion. so didnt bother showing up, hope all went well and i'll make an effort to be there on the 8th!

Dan G Posted February 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 I thought femora were decent for a first gig, can definitely only get better and had some good ideas.I thought we (MMW) gave our best performance energy-wise, but not sure how it went down with the crowd. Fucking enjoyed it though, and I think a few people who don't want to like us because of who we are may have silently liked it.I really wanted to catch PoO but was SO, SO, SO hungry and had to get food and missed them. Sorry guys but I was wasting away. Great chips from Henry J's though... Really enjoyed Quik, sound was fat as fuck and probably their best gig I have seen them play. Had a great night and spent 2pm til 11pm in Moshulu so was pretty drained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
