HW: Space Rock Spectacular

[SHLL (Scott Heller)]

Hello

Nice to meet some british folks while I was in the UK this weekend.
Managed to find the Drayton Town Hall and run into Harvey Bainbridge in
the driveway.. Was not sure how many people would come out for the gig
with the mistake of the Rugby match being placed on the same evening and
I guess about 30 paid people were there... A lot of cool bands but a
terrible time with the sound. Xoo, are a new HW inspired band, Xenon
Codex era and played a short set and Huw Lloyd Langton joined them on an
encore of Moonglum. The band was playing that song anyway and huw
something else at least to start and then he caught on. Peyote
Mothership, were really cool but only got about 28mins to play but the
sound was never that good. Soundman never showed up so it was pretty
much up to someone and it turned out the bass player from Underground
Zero was having to do most of the sound. Assassins of Silence was pure
chaos with terrible sound and a guy at the soundboard only making it
worse. Huw was in a terrible state by this time and extremely loud to
start with and playing in a completely different world. Harvey looked at
him quite often wondering just what the hell he was playing?? Bridget
Wishart joined the band on most of the set as well as harvey... Too bad
it was just pure chaos and that was continued with Dr. Hasbeen... Dr.
Hasbeen joined by a bunch of kids....crazy stuff... Underground Zero,
last gig with the original line up was pretty fun stuff. Look for a full
review and setlists and stuff on my aural innovations review...
