Royal Albert Hall Revue @ Knitting Factory etc.

What a week...

Last Tuesday (the 10th?) Timatim Fitfit played Pete's Candy Store with an extra spicy drum kit complete with a battered bucket, glass of beer, and dented music stand - but no cymbals! Or is the king of rhythm and made it work... once he had nothing to play but pieces of a motorcycle and still made it happen...

On Friday night Abi and I accompanied Barry at the Goodbye Blue Monday premiere of his project Trust Fall. It was amazing, to see a rowdy friday night room full of people become absorbed in songs they'd never heard before... This was a very special evening.

Saturday we played in the backyard of an amazing Art/Music happening hosted by James "Jumbo" Walsh who runs a Queens arts collective by the name of Quarc. Wow, the bands that night were incredible. To name a few: JuvileyLuke Folger, and The Forms.

Then on Tuesday we played the Knitting Factory's Royal Albert Hall Revue in celebration of Bob Dylan's birthday... which was really fun and hilarious! It was a dream to play the Knitting Factory, however afterward I was approached by one of the other bands who were convinced I actually hated Dylan... which I think means our show was a success :)
