Stereo MCs. Does anybody watch Hollyoaks?
The past fortnight has taken us back to The Croft in Bristol for what was in my mind the best gig since Glade in the summer. The amount of energy expended by the audience that night was something else. Also we got to wish Holly a happy birthday, probably one of our longest-standing fans who we get to see once a year (she won best-dancer award at one of our first shows http://www.subsource.co.uk/blog/2005/05/from-muff-jamm-night-winners-of-best.html)
Getting to support the Stereo MCs the day after at the Brixton Jamm - another great gig. We stuck around to check them out too, which was interesting but had the sardine-in-a-tin thing going on.. the place was rammed to capacity (or probably even over that) which makes a good vibe, but getting a decent oxygen supply can also be good too.
Finally a return to Hull (where I am always on guard since the first time I went to Hull, me and my brother were almost killed by a massive 'TO LET' sign that happened to fall from a church as we walked under it. Surely we would have been dealt a fatal blow to our heads if it wasn't for the fact that we happened to be also walking under a small plastic bus shelter as it happened - ever since then I have always maintained that God's been out to get me. I can safely say that once more I've been to Hull and back and gotten away with it.
So after playing at Funky in Hull, we're out n about talking to the crowd and promoting the single. I sit down next to this one couple and ask them if they saw the live act. They say no, they just got here and within two sentences the guy proudly tells me that the lady he's with is Leanne from Hollyoaks. I try to tell them a little more about the music we do and she says, 'I hope it's nothing like this' as she points her thumb over her shoulder towards the banging drum n bass in the background. I size her up and it's pretty clear that she's probably more at home at a shit club in Oceana listening to shit house like Cascada or something shit like that. So being a diplomat and a realist, I figure they're not going to like the single so ask them not to sign the e-mail list because they'll probably think we're shit. But we're talking major C-list celebrity here, so I ask her to write 'Leanne from Hollyoaks missed Subsource, but thinks they're probably shit' and she promptly obliges with an autograph.
I've just been on the cast list on their site and there's no mention of a Leanne so maybe I've been had. But the look on her face when I told her that, 'it's probable that she'll think we're shit but at least I know for fact that Hollyoaks is a big steaming pile of shit' tells me otherwise. (And that was my cue to promptly leave). If anyone knows anything about someone called Leanne being in Hollyoaks (apparently stage and actress name) please get in touch and clear things up for me.
I've been a bit ill with the cold and inevitably being cooped up in the vehicular deathtrap on wheels with the others I've managed to give it to them too so we're all a little bit ropey at the moment as we get on with promoting the single online where we can. It's getting a bit ridiculous constantly pushing it out to people, I even tried to sell it to the postman this week. Please show your support by pre-ordering the single if you can. In the words of the great Ringo Starr, pre-order the single with peace and love, peace and love.
