Zensor's comments:
Our second appearance at SoWhat
Listening to the bands preceding us from the charming backstage facilitites, it was impossible to discern wheter they were playing, or if it was the DJ. The chatter wouldn't stop, as people were awaiting the headliners, and couldn't give a fuck to see if the fresher units provided anything of quality.
When we finally let loose our set, the audience split, and the less talkative or more appreciating ones blocked our view to the rest, thereby ignored.
The rest is a blur. Square one to finals dead on, no screwball timing, a few ribs bruised by Glenn's guitar, some skin loss on knuckles and some equipment damage of the general sort. (File under: Strings, cables, sticks, microphones, etc.)
It's what you get when the stage is crammed with equipment not in use because the headliner needs that extra push of glam for recognition.
(Black star to Steinar for tormenting himself further with a woolen sweater and frock, onstage.)
30 minutes isn't at all enough to leave the stage in a calm manner. People discouraged by the leftover aggression can note that a short hour afterwards, we were all back to our smiling selves.
We're approaching the manner we desire, and immediate comments aknowledged the increase of impact. Short, sweet and no fun.
Those who left with our merchandize bag can consider themselves official scum of the earth. (Title loosable by returning the content in full.)
