Gig Review: Sat 24th March - Brickyard, Carlisle
Feeling not-so-fresh from the previous night, the seven hour drive didn't actually seem too bad.. perhaps the gift of perspective lingering from haunting memories of our recent Glasgow journey.
DnB DJ/Promoter whizzkid Adam Form who we bumped into last night at The Boileroom was still in a partying mood as we were leaving at 10am, so he joined us as guest of honour for the roadtrip. Taking him up to endure this weekend experience felt like a direct parallel to NASA taking space tourists on missions. Mental note made for when we're really needing a financial boost. Subsource gig tourists would need to be extremely fit, capable of carrying heavy weights without dropping them and well skilled in the art of persuading other drivers on the M6 to 'toot for peace'.
Well we'd been worrying about the show for a while, because the Herbalizer pulled out a couple of days before the show leaving the Rehab guys in the lurch, but God-bless those Cumbrians, they'd come in droves to see us rather than him, and loads of people we spoke to hadn't even heard of him. (However, they were all still very eager to join the Stuey-led 'Herbalizer is a wanker' chant in mid-set)
Digitalis pulled off a blinder of a show - not only was it their debut set, but the drummer kid's only seventeen.. pretty mindblowing, and great to see one of our most avid supporters (since smuggling himself into the Brickyard underage a couple of years back) take to the stage in the name of live dance music.
Our vinyl single was out yesterday. We'd have made a bigger fanfare about it, except that we've got no idea where you can get it from and the label (Spinout Records) is being quite precious about this information. It'll be due on Beatport and DJ Download at some point within the next few weeks. Possibly.
