I have to admit, these guys have a very special place in my heart because they are just so frigging awesome. They are the nicest guys you will ever meet and have the best posivite, hyped up vibe!
I love that this was a small gig because it meant the band could interact with the crowd and we all had a brilliant time feeling so involved. Russ was chatting to the crowd between songs (while the rest were tuning guitars lol) and making us all laugh. He would make jokes about the next song being "Tune To E".
The energy that these guys give off on stage is infectious, everyone was so happy singing along and dancing. They always look so happy up on stage, they really do love what they do.
I have to make a point of saying how much I love Fred when he is getting into what he is playing. There needs to be a fan club just for Fred's facial expressions because he is just so happy and really into what he is playing that he is pulling all sorts of faces.
Just before Beef Jerky Boogie, I was standing on Fred's side of the stage between the bar and the stage, trying to get some pictures of Steve the drummer. When the barman banged loudly on the bar next to me and when I looked round, Russ was getting up on the bar and walking down it to the other end. He got the whole crowd to crouch down, which is when he asked the barman "can you see my arse crack?" And then he did a counted everyone in to jump up and around to the beginning of the song.
I did distract poor Russ at one point. I was trying to take a picture of him and he cheekily flipped me his finger finger. I pretended to be shocked but my acting was better than I thought because he looked a bit worried and said "not really", so he lost his place in the song for a second. Sorry Russ, love you xxxx
The end of the night came far too soon and before I knew it, it was the last song and we were all pretenting that there wasn't an encore lol. The band did a great job of walking to the back of the stage like we couldn't see them only to come back out again.
When it was all over, the whole band came out to the merch table to speak to everyone and have pictures. I think it's brilliant when a band is able to do this because it's giving something special to the fans.
I fangirled quite a bit. Fred flicked his guitar pick to me and like one of the seagulls from Find Nemo, I scream "mine mine mine" trying to find it after it bounced out my hand and onto the bar lol. Then I asked Steve if I could have his set list and got everyone to sign it. I'd already got a band shirt and one of their card sized bottles opens to the pick and set list were perfect editions to my little collection.
The guys are still touring right now so if you get the chance, make sure you go along to see them! Here's the link.
