Gig Review: Thursday 17th July - The Watershed

Back in Wimbledon for something like the 5th or 6th time.. you'd have thought we'd have built a following by now, but as it happens, it's a Thursday night and it's a fact of life that people don't go out to get wrecked on a Thursday. This guy was a proper trooper though... we bumped into him in the toilet (not literally obviously, that would be kinda awkward) and he was trying to convince us to stick around for the last band who were absolutely freaking awesome last time he saw them. It was only after he managed to find the photo of three sweaty red-shirt-clad sweaty blobs on his phone from that last show that he believed it was us.

So a fairly empty crowd (and thus hard work for us), which gathered a few more bodies by the end, but it's a good grounding call for us. After shows like Planet Angel where it's totally effortless, it's far too easy to think we're bigger than we are and more important than we are, and that's what musicians do best. We've got a long way to go in all respects.
