The Comeback

What a week it has been in camp TB. On Saturday we had our comeback gig at our local - The Ring O Bells - and what a night it was! The Trilby, The Gush and Marlon were all excellent support and we played the best set we have ever done with two encores for the crazy crowd. Well over 100 people turned up and we were told by the landlord to stop letting people in. We managed to raise some cash for Ashton Court so all in all a cracking night!

Saturday also saw us get a little radio play on BBC Radio show Fine Tuned: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bristol/content/articles/2007/04/05/finetuned_april_feature.shtml

On Monday night we returned to the Fleece for our first gig there in a year or maybe even two. After Saturdays blinder we weren't expecting too much from this one - other than playing an awesome venue to whoever we could entice out on a Monday night. Unfortunately our headline set was cut short due to a drumming injury - poor Stu smashed his hand and was in agony. Like a true rocker he gaffer taped himself up for one last song. A brief review of the show is below.

A text message from Stu this morning confirms he has broken his finger. Poor bugger did the same thing when we recorded our second EP "The Escape". He broke his finger when recording track one of five and carried on playing to the end. Listen to the EP - he doesn't miss a beat.

Next gig - Friday 11th May - Louisiana.



Treehouse Burning - The Fleece - 30/4 - Ed
If TB are like Clark Kent on record, live they are Superman. Even with a sparse audience they delivered, rocking hard and melodic. In fact they rocked so hard the drummer broke his finger. Still, he taped it up and they finished the understandably short set with The Escape which attracted some female adulation. Oh yeah, the cute singer from Santa Dog was there and she seemed to be feeling the mix of old, new and current songs. Someone give them a deal so they can replace the water with pints of Vodka, make more music and break more bones. I feel a little guilty as I told the guitarist to break a leg before the show - that's showbiz for good luck. Don't ask me why. Maybe Def Leppard can help with the drummer - I believe they have some sort of convoluted contraption for just this eventuality. Hopefully this fire will never go out. Last night they threw some petrol and fireworks in for good measure.
