Gig report: Flaming June @ The Cornerhouse, Cambridge

Band: Flaming June
Venue: The Cornerhouse, Cambridge
Date: 13/01/12
Audience: Busy
Sets: Not sure
Notes: First gig of the year and nice to play in front of a big-ish audience, was pretty busy in there on Friday. Dave Greeves - a friend who often guests with Eureka Stockade, opened the show and was absolutely brilliant, never knew he could do solo stuff like that, awesome. Despite not having done anything for about a month our set certainly wasn't bad, from a completely personal point of view my performance was a bit 'first gig of the year' - because it was, a little sluggish perhaps, but the others were sharp enough and the audience were responsive, especially my mate Steve. Not a classic by any stretch of the imagination, but a good one to blow the cobwebs away. Swamp Truck were headlining - they sounded pretty nifty in their soundcheck, but I couldn't stay to watch them as I seem to have 3 plays and 7 short films to write, as well as contemplating a very interesting music-based offer that only added to the feeling that 2012 is going to be rather great.
