Lexapalooza @ Nambucca, London

The Dawn Chorus, buried somewhere amongst...
Frank Turner
Chris T-T
Dave McPherson
Beans on Toast
...and many others

We were asked to do this by Frank Turner, who was curating and headlining the event. We've been in touch with him since we supported him in Portsmouth a few months ago (see old blog) and he gave us an incredibly kind introduction, calling us his new favourite band which was incredibly flattering. By all accounts he's a big fan. Neil's girlfriend Simone was quite spooked to be stood between the ex-drummer from Reuben - her favourite band - and Frank singing all the words to our songs. A very welcome shot in the arm. I had to leave before Frank himself played which I was really gutted about, but my Sister was home from Scotland and I don't get to see her that often so I split. Hopefully we will get to play with FT again soon so that I can make up for it. An awesome gig for an awesome cause.
