framheim Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 did anyone here come down? twas a good night with much beer and whisky. attack and defend were interesting and have the potential to be really good but aren't quite there yet. i think they need to focus their sound a bit more instead of having what seemed like 5 potential songs in one. miss the occupier were ace and i didn't catch victorian english gentlemans club.much wierdness with some ned party next door so tons of dodgers wandering around singing football songs and scrapping. thankfully most of them seemed uninterested in the gig.

RF Scott Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 I couldn't make it last night unfortunately, but I see Maps are playing tonight, which depending on stage times I should be able to make. This is good, as they were the only band I wanted to see last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 Was good to see the tunnels a bit busier last night. Was a lot of fun. Miss the occupier are very good, they seem to have taken the josephine sound in an interesting direction. Everyone in the band is very talented, I was especially impressed by the drummer.
