Flaming June @ Cambridge 105 Radio

Band: Flaming June
Venue: Cambridge 105 Radio Station
Date: 21/09/11
Audience: No idea
Set: Rejoice, Rumplestiltskin, The Insane Ex-Girlfriend Parade, The Devils Daughter
Notes: Well that was an odd one. We (Flaming June) were guests on the 'Acoustic Sofa' programme this evening at Cambridge 105 radio. The show itself ran for an hour and they dedicated a majority of it to us, with four live songs, some chat, and two tracks from the new EP. It's a madcap show, there's an occasional flurry of panic, some of the equipment breaks, there's mobiles ringing during the show...but it's full of such character you can't fail to like this programme, it's so quirky and fast-paced and we were made to feel so welcome. We were without Clare tonight as she was babysitting (well, they're her (and Steve's) children, does that still make it babysitting? Probably makes her just 'mothering' as Louise pointed out) and we missed her - there was something missing in the tunes, even if we tried to compensate for it. But still, tight performance, and alongside all the craziness of the show it was a typical FJ gig really - I get called 'the happiest drummer', Louise breaks a string etc, the usual.
