8pm – annandale hotel, sydney – supporting the rogers sisters and love of diagrams
picked the band up from the airport eventually and sydney traffic dictated it would take us an hour to get home.
we sorted merchandise and ate and rested in preparation. tonight was an important show for me as i’d been pimping the hell out of the band and wanted people to feel the excitement and energy that i feel when seeing limited express (has gone?)
we got to the annadale hotel at about 7pm and went thru the usual soundchecks and setting up merchandise. was cool to sell some merch even before any bands had played too!
limited express (has gone?) hit the stage just before nine and played a fantastic set to a three quarters full annandale crowd – not too bad a turnout for a thursday night support band i guess though i’d been hoping for more – many of the people had come just to see them though which was heartening. jj took a couple of jumps off the stage and yukari took the mic stand to all corners during mophin fellet. spy crowned off another great performance and the merch stall was flooded with people wanting cds, t-shirts and information – the band so happy to talk with people and sign cds.
the stall only quietened down when love of diagrams took to the stage and played another great set of tunes – during their set i was reminded of what a great drummer monika is and overall they had a really good sound tonight.
the rogers sisters played another good set that didn’t quite click for me but had the crowd happy and shouting for more. after they finished the merch stall got busy for limited express (has gone?) cds and we’re hoping that all those happy people will come again tomorrow night and bring all their friends.
we finally leave and when we make it home we eat and work out all the money taken and it looks like we might just break even.
