Saturday just gone we headed up to Bradford for the launch party. The trip up went easy enough, getting us at the venue for before 4pm. Sound checks ensued as is the norm for such things and at around 8.30pm we took to the stage to play. We had some walk on music we had chosen, from the film Requiem For A Dream - if anyone is curious, and then we played our set. Things went somewhat rapidly, with a few well chosen f*ck ups by us - a consequence of us not practicing that day - but overall our performance was good and very well reacted to. It was, after all, a crowd of Exoteric fans who had never heard us before, but the gig went well and good. There was some shenanegans with the sound desk, but we managed to dodge most of the problems as the power was knocked out after we had played (it wasnt us!) leaving Exoteric to deal with a digital sound desk with blanked settings and it being time for them to play. Not a nice experience I'm sure.
Overall the night was a great success, we got great feedback from the gathered crowd and gave out a whole batch of our BBC Sessions cd's. Some good photos have already been upped (thanks to David Brett

Major thanks to Exoteric for asking us to come up and play their party, we wish them the best of luck in all things - especially their support slots on the UK dates of Wednesday 13's tour - big thankyou Anneka, Tom, David and Steve and all their friends for such a welcoming visit. See you on the road :)
