Gig Review: Thurs 9th November - Cargo supporting The Egg

Sometimes you come off stage feeling like you're invincible. Other times like this one, you feel a tad frustrated that there's a room full of people not moving about as much as you'd like. Fair enough - we're on early, we're supporting The Egg and it's their show. Enough people signed up to our e-mail list to indicate they appreciated what we did.

Typical support band gig, which we've had surprisingly few of: we turned up on time but had to wait 2 hours for the main act to turn up. We barely get a soundcheck, and then we get rudely ejected from the backstage area by their manager. Job done. Careful discipline prevented me from accidentally sneezing into their rider backstage, which appeared to include this fresh brocolli.

The actual band turned out to be friendly enough, though I didn't realise two of them were twins until later on, and I'd already spent a while talking to the wrong one.
