Living room gig

My second gig was Common Rotation again on 09/10/04
This was a really unusual gig as it was in a fans living room! Really. Some Buffy fan had applied to host the band in her house and they accepted as part of their living room tour. They said something along the lines that they were tired of all these record labels taking musicians money and then when they were sent on tour the venue took some more money so they decided to be completely indie and do their own thing,
So my parents took me and my sister and my friend Nikita to Banbridge. We drove around until we saw a house with lots of balloons tied to the posts at the drive way. So we knocked on the door and went inside, there were about 20 people there and we all sat down, we had chairs and the rest sat on the floor. The band came in and stood at in front of the living room window and did their set. It was bloody brilliant. One of the crew had his tee shirt inside out and when someone asked why he had it like that he said he was told it might offend people in Northern Ireland so he'd be asked to turn it inside out! haha


At the end of the gig we were in the hallway and Eric the guitar player/vocals accidently smacked my with his guitar, he said "sorry" but I thought it was the coolest thing that had ever happened to me ever. (Dramatic I know) then after that Adam came out and spoke to us. Being fourteen i was really nervous and he made us promise to come and see them again and we agreed happily, I wish I could get the opportunity to speak to him again now i'm older and wiser (ha!) and have some people skills. Maybe someday. :)


Until next time
