We're just a week away now from our first live appearance - and all is on schedule. We won't be outstaying our welcome - it looks like we'll be playing perhaps eight songs - around 30 minutes worth.
Our repertoire increases, last night's rehearsal produced two new songs, "Black Girlfriend" and "Chrysler Building 1976" - the latter a homage to the NY punk scene - how a kid from Buckinghamshire saw the antics of Patti Smith, Tom Verlaine and Richard Hell etc.
Personally speaking, one trait is beginning to creep in. Owing to a low boredom threshold, I much prefer the newer songs - material that has been written in the last week, even the last 24 hours !
This is of course, a ridiculous state of affairs - as no-one outside the group has actually heard any of the material.
This was one of the causes of the group's decline in the past - I must and will fight it!
We are now looking for live dates for the New Year - to tie in with the release of the CD, so as you read this, London venues are being approached for gig possibilities.
