25 Minutes In Peking
Nov. 12th, 2006 02:26 amWell, THAT was a gig best forgotten.
All it did was remind me why I mostly record soundtracks these days ~ you can control what's being heard a lot better than when you rely on some gormless nerk to do nothing but stand in front of the mixing desk & shrug while your sound goes to hell & beyond.
There was enough tension in the air at the venue already, thanks to unwelcome company, without having to deal with the crap that comes from a failed gig. The minute I'd finished packing my gear off stage, I let my supporters (thanks again to SarinG, UnknownB et al) know that I couldn't leave the venue fast enough. So we did...
We decamped to the Old Fitzroy pub in Woolloomooloo for a few deserved drinks, before attending to work commitments at the Q Bar in Darlinghurst. I haven't been there in years & the only thing that's changed in the interim is the colour of the walls... & I think there are less pool tables.
The cloak room girl is pretty cute though...
