+1 on the da happy burffie, Mike. And those pics are tops, as always.

Ain't it great to really crank things up at at clubs? Therein lies the secret energy no less.

Definitely. It's frustrating not being able to play that loud until we gig but therein lies the special feelings and warm fuzzies once those little lightbulbs start-a-cooking. The feeling can't be beat.

And yeah, we're lucky to have family/friends who are photography enthusiasts, it's a whole lot cheaper than hiring someone to take pics.

That, and playing your set one and a half times faster on stage than you do in rehearsal.

That's happened so much to us as of late, I've been thinking our drummer has become quite clueless to our rehearsal content...But I think we're all at fault, and it feels so good. :wink:

lol.. when we first started playing out and about we literally used to double the tempo live, and generally only realise when we got the staccato fast singing-and-playing-guitar-offbeat parts of the songs, with often disastrous consequences. Now we make a conscious effort to chillout before bringing the noise.

I remember JebuS's set took about an hour twenty in practise, but about forty-five or fifty minutes on stage. It made sense that we were all reall stoned at practises, and drunk at gigs.

Except me. I like being painfully sober on stage.
