Didn’t get the chance to say last night, but I took a Leicester train after the rehearsal finished and went to see Puressence (and Kalena) with Nhoj and Chris. They were both very, very good. Standing In Your Shadow! That was the one I’d been wanting to hear live. During it the frontguy leapt off the stage and onto Nhoj, and then wandered around a bit, cutting the crowd in half with his mic lead. It was very fun.
Equally fun was the support band before Kalena, which involved the lead ’singer’ reading random words off a sheet of paper and intoning them into a microphone. A bit like Art Brut, as Nhoj pointed out, but lacking in any… thing. This was a fun band for all the wrong reasons. But very memorable.
Today has been a very happy day. Counted up this evening, and we did 39 hours over this week, which isn’t with all the travelling too. And it was worth it for this evening. In fact now that the week is finally over I can even be flippant enough to say that it was worth it for the coach journey back.
Ahah, I’ll be glad to get back to school. More relaxing. And I have Tuesday pegged as a day to take off if I need it, as nothing useful happens on Tuesdays.
Anyway. My point was that this evening was really very special. Thank you.
