I'd very strongly recommend not trusting the site for times. These kind of gigs are riddled with last minute changes, so you can never predict exactly where you'll be on the bill. Case in point, the last two gigs we were supposed to be on second, but went on first due to delays in getting to the venue.
I am feeling rediculously cool about the fact that I am, assuming I can run really far in exactly no time at all, going to be going up in van for this one, and thus should see y'all there, with any luck.
There is an old man's pub in Whitley Bay called The Hunting Lodge. Are you named after it? Will you be playing there at some point? I'm sure they would be proud to host your tribute band.
Looked at your website, and noticed you actually have a song called "The Average Sound of Whitley Bay" .... I'm scared now.... It's all becoming real....
Wough... I am *ill*, and may have to cry off. Have we established where the Red Room is? If I don't make it tonight I'll give that a pop, although there's birthday party action that may complicate matters...
I'm afraid I'm not going to be there, my throat feels like a rose bush is growing inside it and cigarette smoke is probably the worst thing it could be exposed too. Hope it all goes well, think of me as I sulk miserably at home.
I'm another one that can't make it tonight but I'm hoping that the Red Rooms gig is at the Red Rooms at Honor Oak Park which is only 5 minutes from my manor... I will take 2 people along with me to make up for it - if only it had been the weekend after I could have took my folks...
23.10.04 at the Red Rooms has been cancelled, I'm afraid. I am so, so, so sorry!
Next one is still on, though. Although I seem to remember someone saying that the venue has been changed from the Zanzibar. More information as it becomes available.
Really well, considering we had a stand-in guitarist who hadn't played any of our songs until about five minutes before we were on, and the band turned up too late for soundcheck. At least we rocked!

Ah you bastard! Putting on a show on me birthday is one thing, putting on a show on me birthday when I'm not even in the country. Well, sheee.... Coming back to London any time soon after that, then?
If you're sure we wouldn't ruin your party and cause the police and/or environmental health to be called on you then please tell me the dates and I'll check with the boys.
I'm sorry Seth, I was just teasing you, and myself come to think of it, CUZ I WON'T MAKE IT TO YOUR GIG! I really could do with some ear-bleedy noise in my life at this particular juncture.
