Competent, committed, raw professionalism. (The problem with these adjectives is that they apply far better to Rugby League teams.) This reminds me of a lot of painful/enjoyable memories. Bands that never got to the first gig. Other people's that did. The roving fake A&R guy of Leeds. The obsessive Kenickie fan who made his own amplifiers. Of course, it was better than looking and seeing our surroundings, which tends to happen after a couple of iterations of the cycle. From that point there are several ways forward, most of which pass through King's Cross Station. Powerful, slammin’ BLOG. Competent, committed, raw professionalism.

So funny but it's all so sad and true! I know a mountain hugging alcoholic failed musician who has some money and is now ploughing all his time and cash into his failure son to do the same! I had the misfortune of being in a short lived band with this individual and this really does make me laugh. He didn't have a fiat punto but a Rav 4 is just as bad!!
