Jim Stax Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Nice to see you on Saturday Gordon (its Jim) and a fine selection of tunes... Glad that we seem to have hit the 'dirty button'. Job done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Posted August 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 I really do have to applaud the Lemon Tree for an excellent night - And all the acts involved that I caught. The two stage system worked exceptionally well' date=' I thought - Full credit to Dave Dixon for making it flow so smoothly. Highlights were Billy Ely, Kill Baby... Kill and Tupelo Town Assembly. David Lynch must have had a nagging feeling he was missing something when TTA were playing, and Andy Bass really should sing more often.[/quote']Glad it went down well, I thought all the bands I caught were excellent too. Yeah, I almost expected a midget to appear from behind the curtains and say something backwards during Tupelo Town Assemby's set there was such a David Lynch fell to it - Andy's vocal on Blue Moon was amazing - maybe the drink was starting to get the better of me, but it seemed almost note perfect to Elvis' version - would have brought a tear to a glass eye.Kill Baby...Kill's You're So Square was ace too, and King Voodoo's set.The Main Stage gig on the 9th of September is going to have 3 stages in operation.

Paulscoconutass Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Any chance Onion Terror could join in next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Stax Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 I do believe Andy's vocal was bang on the money and what with Amy coming in underneath with a lower sultry vocal. yum. I near had to stop drumming at one point for a good listen.I hadn't been to an Elvisness since the first one to be honest and had my reservations about the old gaurd being out in force but it was simply a great night of music. Seamless evening and hats off to the Tech team for putting it all together fuss free and making so many acts sound fine. The two stage set up worked a treat. Has it been done many times in the past?

Jim Stax Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Where was the second stage?Looking from the stage, the left hand corner under the window at the desk end of the dancefloor facing the bar side of the room. Everyone just turned around Top Of The Pops stylee between acts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andylemontree Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 We've done it for 2 or 3 of the most recent Elvis nights and will probably do it for the Johnny Cash night in Sep too. It obviously only works if you've a reasonable split between full bands and duo/solo acts as the second stage isn't that big.Another great night. Kill Baby...Kill, Bill Ely and TTA were superb as were Dave Dixon and King Voodoo but we pretty much take that for granted at Elvisness now. Finniston were really good too, great choice of songs.

Biz Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Oh yeah?. But Elvis wigs and jumpsuits from partymania leave me cold - these people probably never had an original thought in their life.He he he I disagree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Robertson Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 HeheheWee Amy surrounded by a burl!When Atom Flask played years and years and years ago it was to half a room of nodding heads and half a room of teary eyed open jawed badge wearing fan(atic)s. I think some alomost had a breakdown at our psychedelic guitar driven-drum n bass-rock n roll wigouts with a posturing, and injured, 'I'm greater then Elvis' frontman. I wish I had been there to see it!Can't wait. I'm liking the 'love song as threat' idea.I wasn't injured. Drunk probablyX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
