Eugene says "Give cheese a chance" after suggesting I should have cheese in my maggie

We were having a smoke outside before 1234X's gig and I joked to Charan, "Look. You see those trees across the road. Hidden amongst the shadows are the secret police snapping pics of anyone you talk to." And we proceed to wave, grin and pose for the camera... imaginery or real.

During the gig, bassist/vox Marina asked for water, I offered mine and Dino checked "Joe got spike the drinks or not?" I love the band name. Its equally matched by the cool material they have. This is from their 1st CD single. Go to http://www.myspace.com/onetwothreefouraxe and buy it from them. No regrets.

Warms my heart everytime I hear this. The gig was organised at Whitley Secondary and the sight of hundreds of teenager screaming, dancing and supporting local bands... I was speechless and so pleased. Check out the screaming. More on this screaming when I have the time.

I thought I was getting down a damn good Great Spy Experiment performance at a few months ago. When I listen back at home, I realized that all the cameramen walking in front of me and my mic (it was very compact in front) muffled the recording. Grrrr... I like this other performance also.

Ler, Alexius and I just had out first jam last week. We are forming an acoustic-only outfit the Very Serious. It ought to be the total opposite from Localbarboy so we are thinking of taking ourselves very seriously. We will be sullen and joyless. And that should be very fun. Debut show- Earshot Cafe, Arts House on 28th Oct 2006 but things might change so check out this space for details.

Hi May, I'm glad you're serious. woohoo.

Yo Jon, yes, cannot smile ok? No one's allowed to smile unless gahmen says so.

Hi Mr Perplexed Tan, see you then or I'll see you at Beat or at some gigs.

Hey Michele, nothing to do with age. We just tossed a coin or something and landed on that silly band name. Heh.

Hi berrijellijo, which school are you from? And yes if you're charging tickets the door, you should/must pay the bands. Hope you do it and more people in schools do it. If we don't support and appreciate our own, no one else will.

Yeppers Cand. But it will probably be the Very Serious' first and last gig too! WAHAHA
