La Luna in Hamilton

[2G2T1N.jpg]
Additional Acts: The Fat Cats
Ticket Price: $5 at the door or $20 total to get into this gig, the April 21st Rivoli gig, and get a bus ride between the two.
Set List: Nejuan / Kousharee (with Pink Floyd's "Breathe" tease / Monkey / GreenRoot / Two Tales / Swimming in Chlorine / Static / Biz (with Rush's "Tom Sawyer" tease
Set Length: 40 minutes, from 10:05 - 10:45
Rough Attendance: 50-75
Caught on tape? nope.
Poster: Variant of the crow poster used for both gigs on this date. "Two Gigs, Two Towns, One Night" laminated passes!
Notes: This gig was just a little bit hairy. The first of two in one night, we were REAL nervous about a number of things that could've screwed up, especially considering that we rented a bus to shuttle fans between both gigs and the bus driver was clearly an idiot. The gig itself was pretty dry. La Luna is actually an arabic restaurant with a very small stage and a poor sound system, (The sound board is actually around the corner from the stage, so Soundman Steve couldn't see the band's signals), but they serve a damn fine Shish-Tawook.

All in all the band played well (except for an absolute butchering of a "Tom Sawyer" tease which will never ever be heard again.) but the vibe wasn't there. Maybe it was because the house lights stayed on for the whole set and the band could see people in the audience eating their felafels. Maybe it was the strange mixture of rabid Zygote fans and slightly horrified diners who just came there to eat. At any rate, the show ran smoothly and sounded good under the circumstances. Afterwards, everyone piled out of the club and (after an agonizing twelve-minute span of panic) boarded the bus to roll back home to gig #2.

I honestly can't remember the high points of the set, because I was too wired worrying about the fact that the bus had disappeared, a dozen underage fans were making La Luna's manager VERY nervous, and one drunk dude was dancing on a speaker with his pants around his ankles.

FAN COMMENTS

The bus ride was fuckin' cool. Laurent leaked in a VEX bottle and filled it to the rim. When he was throwing it out the window on the highway, the cap came off and he spilled blobs of piss all over Max who pretended it didn't happen, but reeked of piss!!! We were all doubling over in laughter...That was such a good night, and if there was another one, I would definitely go again!!- Zach S.
