The Dawn Chorus / The Retrospective Soundtrack Players - Blogging all over the World
My name is Kyle. I am a happily failing indie/punk/folk/country/rock musician from Hampshire, UK. I have been singing and songwriting in The Dawn Chorus since 2005, and The Retrospective Soundtrack Players since 2010. I love these two bands like my brother/wife rolled into one. This blog details the shows I have played with both bands, in chronological order.Thursday, July 13, 2006
XXX - Portsmouth Exposure @ Havana Bar - 12/07/06
Exposure @ Portsmouth Havana Bar
The Shake
The Dawn Chorus
Angelgear (acoustic)
Well you wouldn't fathom it would you, playing with Angelgear again! We've now played with them 5 times, and our good friend Clewee has been to four of them. It was a nice little warm up for Friday at the Wedge, and it was good to give our 2 brand new songs - tentatively titled 'The Town and the City' and 'A Drop in the Ocean' - their first run out. Some interesting discussions whilst waiting for soundcheck, such as the old predicament - is it possible to be friends with a Stereophonics fan? I thought not, but Simps reckoned it may just be possible. Although i was outed as a closet fan of 'Dakota'. It was a bit empty at Havana; with our big show on Friday we didn't bring a huge crowd (Clewee), Angelgear only brought a few and The Shake came from Newbury, so the punters who were there were all in on the off chance. It does help, however, if all the bands help out by watching eachother instead of going to the back room to play pool (hello Angelgear). The Shake put on a great show and were lovely people, I wish them all the best. We're now itching to get onstage at the wedge, see you Friday x
