We came, we saw we conquered again!!
We rocked up to the pub to unload our gear and quickly set about the process of setting it all up! The task was made simpler this time as we didn’t have to mic up all the drums and even more amazing, Harley managed to remember to plug the monitors in the right way this time….although he forgot to actually turn them on and connect them to the amp!! Ooops!
Kicking off with a different first set list was awesome!! I don’t think even we could realise how awesome it would be. Feet were tapping, heads were bobbing and many a person was singing along!
The A32s joined us and gave us some great backing vocals!! They were truly on form!
Our second set exploded into life with punk oozing from every orifice…Meanwhile, Beanz’s orifice was busy exploding and oozing something else!! Love Shack went down a storm, with people dancing to I love to Boogie, Brown Sugar, Freebird, Crazy little thing and more! Andy rocked the Kasbah with his sacred sticks of awesomeness and Jock powdered up his beard and set it to stun!! The crowd loved it!!
During Johnny B Goode however we had a little scare. We started wipe out as per usual and noticed Beanz going into the crowd…nothing unusual there, he loves to dance the truffle shuffle to this one. But then, he carried on walking into the toilet! What!!??! Not now Beanz!!?!! For those of you who know Beanz, this could not have been more worrying for the band as there’s no telling when he’s coming back and we were running out of time fast!! Jock was just about to start singing something into the microphone (which as it turns out would have been a little hard as he didn’t know the words!!) and Harley was about to pull another 5 minute solo out of his a**e to give Beanz a little more time when all of a sudden, the crowd parted like the Red Sea and Beanz came rushing through. This was also strange as there was no food on the stage but yet he was moving quite fast….maybe he was hallucinating again!! In any case, the bearded ginger warrior of rock made it to the microphone in time to sing, but impressively managed to sing the whole verse in 2 seconds and looked with shock and amazement at Harley as he couldn’t remember what to do!! It all ended well though, we finished the song to the sounds of the crowd shouting for more!!
…What could we do?!! It would have been rude not to! We let them have it in the form of Tush, Can’t get enough and God Save the Queen but they still wouldn’t let us go! We had to bite the bullet and pull out Vertigo, a song we haven’t done in ages but Beanz gave it large big style with the help of Darren from Paparazzi! Cheers mate. You rock!
We left the landlord a happy rocked out bunny, packed up our gear and went to offload it. The atmosphere was fantastic, the crowd absolutely brilliant. The Spotted Cow is one pub we’ll always love! We can’t wait for the next one and hope you can’t either.
Keep on rockin…
