Gig Review: Monday 13th November - Concorde 2, Brighton

The road into Brighton is an entirely different journey to the one into London. Maybe it's just because we're hitting it at the right time, but the roads are fast and traffic-free.. and there's a tranquil effect of knowing that the sea is approaching. The Concorde 2 venue itself looks out over the sea (but maybe not for much longer because it looks like they're building something in the way) and no doubt about it, this is the best soundsystem we've played on.

After a little bit of tension on first arrival with the question of which act is headlining being undecided, we settle into the luxurious dressing room and grab some local Brighton cuisine (of course fish and chips). This is a Monday night and we're not expecting much, but still, 100 or so people turn out mostly to see the brilliant 'classic rock' act, The Stirring.

We're not really a band that you can fully appreciate on a Monday night, but we came to impress a handful of promoters, which we did, so job done. Thanks to tonight, we'll be back in December on a Wednesday and if that goes well, maybe we'll get the weekend slot. Best position is right next to the bass bin.. where we'll see you stylin'..

Also, I got a given a set-list that belongs to Jarvis who played here last week, so if there are any fans of his reading this, get in touch, it's yours. I couldn't be bothered to eBay it.
