High Wycombe is a great place to visit, and an even better place to play a punk rock show. Fantastic people, great venues and worthy promoters are what make great shows from a bands perspective, and it would seem that High Wycombe is a place that fulfils these requirements in abundance. All the other bands on the bill were fantastic and i think we put a good foot forward too. Thanks to Crazy Arm for all the Robin related banter and Make Do And Mend for all the nice things they said about us during their set. Lovely guys. Thank you to all involved in the show, especially Dave for inviting down to play in the first place.
Robin has taken it upon himself to organise us a tour with Crazy Arm later on this year, seeing as he's friends with the guys it should hopefully shape up without too much hassle. I can't wait. As for the present, we go back to writing more new songs for the next few weeks. We have some demo time booked in for July, total live recordings over a two day period, during which we will try and bare-bones record everything we have up until that point. These sessions will be done with Chris Morgan, and it'll be great to get back working with him, he knows where we want to go with the new stuff and is a bit of genius all round. One song i'm particularly keen to work on this week is a lively little number we wrote during the last twenty minutes of our most recent practice a couple of weeks back. The riff came from nowhere, as did the words to the chorus, and the whole song pretty much wrote itself from start to finish within about ten minutes. Magic! It's a fairly straightforward melodic punk rock song, with the obligatory, gargantuan chorus that to my ear brings to mind early noughties Brit Rock/Post-Hardcore, like Hell Is For Heroes, Hundred Reasons and '100 Broken Windows' era Idlewild. I absolutely love it, itching to play it again.
