LIGHTS ON IN THE HOUSEFUL:
I’ve been sat here all morning trying to write how I feel
about last night. Body trashed like a hang-over, but there’s
this massive smile in the mirror reminds me something
extraordinary happened last night. We drove to Brighton
with no idea if anyone would come to see us, just focusing
on giving our best. Happy that the new live venue at the
Komedia felt more like Ronnie Scotts than the old Marquee Club
& all day these markers kept showing up, reminding us we were
on the right road. The beautiful sound of our support ‘Farao’,
friends who travelled a long way to be with us, the place where
a lot’ve this began & meeting the former barkeep from the cafe
downstairs (now the manger of the venue) whose compilation
CDs & sign that said ‘Tipping Makes You Sexy’ I wrote about.
We hoped for at least a few faces to play to, but when we walked
out to a full house, felt the warmth of your reception,
the way you listed, the humour in your voices & laughter & smiles,
the lights in your eyes & the way we all connected just as I’d
dreamed we could as I stood on the stage at Sydney Opera House
all those years ago – THIS was the real marker that told me
we were on the right road. From everyone in the band & crew
& all who worked so hard to get us this far – THANK YOU.
May we meet again very soon & build on this extraordinary
beginning.

PS. I hope there will be some videos on youtube soon.

Karl, I was one of the people lucky enough to be in the audience last night, and we thank you all for putting on such a fantastic show. I have been a massive fan for the last 20 years or so, have seen underworld a few times and spent many hours with you in my headphones or spilling out into my home. Last night reminded me and my wife and brother how talented you are, and what an excellent way you have with words and a true performer. You even let me have a sneaky photo with you which made my night! it was a great choice of venue and gave us all a very unique experience which was one of my favourite ever gigs. Keep on the same path, and thanks again….matt xx
…and so… Tokyo the next stop? I’ve actually looking up info on the band and getting venue possibilities.
Ah here! Nice work dude.
8 Ball … says it all really, must have been that sort of night.
Congrats
