Date: 12.12.09
Band: Eureka Stockade
Venue: The Globe, Cambridge
Type Of Gig: Headline pub gig
Venue Vibe: Festive
Audience: Rammed, a selection of various Christmas parties taking place, and a few friends too

A nice gig, this one. Two excellent support acts (Incredible Flight Of Birdman, and The Morning People) plus our longest set yet. It was billed as our Christmas special, so the hastily learnt Christmas covers near the end of the set were appropriate. Audience were fantastic, very lively, extremely kind - as they always are at The Globe. Performance itself was a little rough at times, we've only rehearsed once after a fair few weeks off, but the two new tracks (Violence and Erotomania) sounded full of life. A lively one, not our tightest gig, but with enough festive cheer to warrant audience demands for an encore, which typically we decided against.
