Sat July 24th - Coleford Fringe Festival

We played one of my favorite Heretics and Lovers shows to date last week as part of the Coleford Fringe Festival, what set it apart from other shows is the style of the show. I have a big love for 'Basement' style shows - no stages, no huge PA/sound-systems or lighting rigs (though we do like to use our own small lighting setup). Just us and the audience. Even before being in a band I was always fascinated by nature and the D.I.Y. ethics involved in these types of shows. I would happily pick to play on the floor over a stage any day of the week. Last week at the Kavern we wanted to take it one step further and indeed we did by setting up in the middle of the room. Chris and the drums one side, amps and the rest of us the other and the audience in between. I was nervous in the fact what if no one was interested, we would possibly look quite stupid, however in the end we were completely overwhelmed but how many people was in that room during our set. The middle - end of the set I literally could move anywhere because of the amount of people that were surrounding us. I had lost Chris and Rob in the crowd of people and watched as Andy was learning over his pedals trying not to fall or step on them. It was an incredible experience and one I want to re-visted over and over again. Below is a video of a new song we played from that show currently titled 'SunBear'. The video does go out of sync but you can get the idea of why this show was so fun to play. Thanks to everyone who was there and made it awesome.
