Let Go & Ghetto @ Teakwoods

On top of the added getting ready time, we also had to get gas, which proved to be somewhat a fuck around, which wasn't helping the cause of getting to Teakwoods on time. Kinda funny pumping gas in our costumes though. The upside is that we weren't the only ones.

Photobox ImageDespite that, when we got to Teakwoods nothing was happening, thankfully. Somewhat surprisingly, we were about the only ones there in costume, at least initially. Had a brief chat with Thomas, who enjoyed the costumes before going out for a smoke. The best sign that we'd done good with the costumes was when Norm called me over as I was going back inside, saying that he'd seen me over there but hadn't realized it was me until he heard me talk. I pointed out Katie inside, and he commented that he had been standing behind us and had no idea it was us. I don't know if there is a better sign that we'd rocked the costumes than that! [smile]

We'd snagged one of the tables up front, which seemed like a major coop, but despite what I expected, there just weren't a lot of people there. I thought it would fill up, but it didn't really.

Was really good to see Let Go, especially given that I had watched a bunch of their rehearsals over the past few weeks. The levels were much better (as is always the case at Teakwoods) than when we last saw them at Long Wongs which was very welcomed.

Photobox ImageGhetto were awesome as always. Highlights of the night were hearing Catastrophelia, and even moreso Paralyse. Neither of which I think I've witnessed live before, and more to the point, I had no idea that they even did Paralyse. Hearing that full band was awesome.

Photobox ImageThroughout Ghetto's set a few more costumed people showed up. And Norm left the stage and paced back and forth in front of the couches, and all round rocked things up. Kinda similar to a Strange Young Things show, you had a shit big grin on your face most of the time. And that was all Norm! Throughout the set, Jason came up and said hi and complemented our costumes before heading off, it was cool he noticed us sitting there.

Things were pushed awefully close to 12, and so it we did quick goodbyes to Tom and Marc (and mentioned how cool Paralyse was) before darting out the door for Yucca and Strange Young Things. Y'know, that common thing that we do after Teakwoods!
