Chaos-23

Wow! That was pretty weird right there :o)

Went up to London for the Robots in Disguise, BIB, Piranha Deathray gig at Nambucca down Holloway Road.

Stopped off in Camden for a couple of drinks at The World’s End, then headed up to get to Nambucca for about 20:00. Get there, a few people are queueing so we join them… and wait… Then eventually we overhear a phone conversation, along the lines of “yeah, it’s been cancelled. Fucking shambles” and just go “noooooo!”. It’s all looking a bit shit.

So we ask the guy who just got off the phone what’s happening and are told that the manager of the pub has forgotten the band are playing and has gone to the cinema in Camden with the keys. Joy. people are not happy.

Just then someone I know from The Mighty Boosh forums appears & introduces herself (I’ve not met her before) and says they’re all going to the pub across the road for a drink & will get a call if anything ends up happening. Quality. We figure we’ll have a drink there & then head back to Camden for a bit before going home.

THEN… we get the news that the Robots will be playing a free gig at The Joint rehearsal studios in Kings Cross (REALLY nice studios by the way, makes Impact look like someone’s garage… well, it does anyway, but you know). Total props to Sarah (JuJu Girl), she gave us a lift across to Kings X :oD We could have been psychos or anything!

So, as the evening panned out we got to see the Robots in Disguise for free, in a studio with only about 30 or 40 people there, very personal gig, and beer was £1 a bottle. Total quality evening. I am so pleased I went. Dee nearly fell on me coming out of the loos and Sue made me use the gents loos. The look on the bloke in there’s face when I opened the door was classic XD

Apologies to people outside Reading/London.

Is anyone gonna be in London on Monday night? I REALLY want to go & see Robots in Disguise at Nambucca on Monday night. BUT, no-one I know will go with me and I can’t take the next day off work so I have to get back to Reading. While going to the gig alone isn’t too bad, I don’t really fancy getting back to Paddington from Holloway Road alone.

I’m getting a bit desperate as I really want to go (tickets on the doors, only £5 ;o)).
