Cloud Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 I was outside wearing items of french headwear and working...looked like there was a fairly good turnout for an all local lineup, so that's definitely good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowWhite Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 I was there...I was selling merch upstairs so i didn't really hear much of your set. However being a major Fenix TX fan I heard the start of your cover and ran down to hear it. I am a huge fan of them, (remember that before you hate me for what I say)...I didn't really think the singers voice was right for that song. I could hear it straining a bit. I heard you do a blink cover too, which is cool...but cus they're so popular and well known I didn't really think that was a good idea. Just my opinion though! Cus everyone there would know the song and be able to notice mistakes easily.Personally, I think doing covers at gigs is a bad idea. People are probably wanting to hear your original stuff, rather than covers. They can just listen to the covers at home, so they probably wont wanna pay to see a band do a few covers rather than all their original stuff. Also, the audience may come away with opinions of your covers, kinda like me, rather than opinions of your own songs.I remember our first gig in Kef was scary and we put ourselves down too. But dont, cus it always seems worse to you onstage than it does to the audience. Now, I'm gonna do the really patronising thing and say what lots of people used to say about us: you'll get better with time and practice and experience.

*Craig_HexPen* Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 Just like to say for a start that punk really isnt my thing so im prob not the kinda person you want feedback from but i thought it went well , you guys (and girl) were pretty tight and it was very good for a first gig also your drummer was pretty awsome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leckie Gilman Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 what blink cover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Tim Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 i was there. it went pretty well but obviously there is room for improvement as it was only your first gig. you guys will get better. beth your drummer is fucking ace though. i must say when you keep asking if so and so is sexy, it does get annoying but that is only because im a shit. good luck though.

Murray Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 I agree that playing original material is very important, but when it's your first gig i think it's good to play a couple of covers, i didn't see the gig i am just stating my opinion. If you play a couple of covers in your set, people know those songs and can get into the band more easily. If you are a young,new band and you play all your own stuff, then it's harder for people to get into as they have never heard it before so i say well done for chucking in a few covers.
