Balvack Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 What a fun night - all four bands were excellent, and all for 2 !Mike and Sam: excellent guitar playing and an entertaining rap/rant. And we need to know: was Sam successful in his quest for a girlfriend ?Rainbow and the Fluffy Bunnies: wonderful musicianship, great entertainment and humour. Shades of all sorts of stuff including early Mothers. If that was their "worst gig ever", then the others must have been stupendous.Alan Davidson is a gem. Beautiful (and educational !) songs played with feeling. Aberdeen council should name a street - nay, a whole Kitchen Cynic estate - after him !Mickel Mass - what can I say? Probably the most fun you can have with knobs and loops and windup toys.Thanks to everyone involved for the most entertaining Sunday night I've had for a while.

R.Borlax Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 sam and mike were great, had some great songs and the one in tribute to tenacious d was excellentalan was splendid making nice use of his mickel mass effects and the song "near death" i think its called was treat for the earsfluffy and the rainbow bunnys couldve practicedmickel mass were very interesting and at times rather bizzareall in all i had a great time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted October 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 I enjoyed the night a lot....Sam & Mike were good fun, with fine, varied songs and seemed more confident onstage than I ever am. Fluffy & The Rainbow Bunnies really got everybody going, with tons of humour and bags of punch. Any lack of practice just added to the charm, for me.I made a few mistakes, as ever, and still haven't cracked my looping pedal (so I can hear what I'm playing along with!), but the Mickel Mass set was better than I expected, given that all 4 of us were knackered from recording since noon. I played better 'cos I wearing a 'jazz hat' (borrowed from Balvack).It was an interesting audience too, with lots of very young folk (unusual for Kitchen Cynics/Mickel Mass), and lots of older folk, but not a lot of 'middle-ground', which I enjoyed.
