Gig report: the British IBM @ The Portland Arms, Cambridge

Band: The British IBM
Venue: The Portland Arms, Cambridge

Date: 24/07/13
Audience: Happy enough
Set: Washing Machine, Cannibal, 3 Years, Animal, Sugar Water, Bob Noyce, Feeling, The British IBM
Notes: We're quite open about the fact that we're not overly fond of playing in Cambridge; it's our home town, we've played here (in various forms) over the years and the plan is always to play out of town to reach new audiences when possible. However, when German touring band, Come Back Harriet, asked us personally and so nicely to support them on their Cambs leg it felt like a worthwhile show. And it was; nice atmosphere, great to catch up with good friends who came down, top opener (Holden Girls). We were tight, solid, on good form, the headliners were excellent (what I managed to see of them), we enjoyed ourselves a lot.
