Frost* Christmas 2011 AGM - The Peel, Kingston. 16th Dec

[Dena]

The Peel is ace and will forever be ace, but it is a small venue. I think the interest in last Friday's gig is a good indicator that Frost* have grown bigger than they were when EIMA was released and now need to stand in bigger shoes, so to speak. So, sell out gig at the Hammy Odeon next, then?  

Word Mouse.
I think the Peel has been fantastic on past experience for preserving that intimate atmosphere which blurs the boundary between the band and the audience, it's nice to feel that we're, as an audience, totally involved with the night's entertainment, even if we aren't the ones doing the hard work on stage. And going to bigger venues would possibly compromise that, but I've always felt that the CRS venue in Rotherham, for example, keeps the good vibes flowin' whilst also not being a total sweat-fest. At the end of the day it's all about numbers innit? And a central enough location so as to allow maximum bob audience-wise.

Now I must admit that the Robin in Bilston would be my venue of choice. Central, great venue, etc, etc...

Just read this (well, what else does one do when sat up in bed at 6:15am?) and Mrs Hippo had to demand what on earth was making me giggle so much.
It's a masterpiece, Mr H!

Lovely job on the gig report, James, but I have one major quibble  :x

Whatever that stuff was that the restauranteur brought to soothe our financially-addled nerves at 01:50 on that Saturday morning, it most assuredly was not whisky. I know that's what he said it was, but ... ugh!  :shock:

Seriously though, you don't think for a minute that we're going to appoint anyone else to be Curry Commander next time, do you? Apart from the minor issue of the bill, everything else went so swimmingly well (even if mine was one of the "oops, quick, we've forgotten someone's main"), your appointment is for life ...  :lol:

Ha, well - whatever it was it was sort of vaguely alcoholic, that was as much as I could discern at that time of the morning!

'James the Curry Commander'. It's got a ring to it, has that.  :lol:  :lol:
Fab review James, it filled in the gaps in the bits I missed, and bought back the happy memories of the bits I saw. Top Banana!
