So I started this week doing what I do best..... gigging! I went to see Emily's Army (or ''Swimmers'' I should say) in Manchester. Very good gig I must say. I had no idea who the supports were before I got there but after they played I ended up signing up to their mailing lists and chatting to them. Wasters and Matt Grocott and The Shrives gained a new fan. I was pleased with Emily's Army's setlist it contained a mixture of old, new... middle songs :) They guys were really nice and stuck around to sign autographs and take pictures. Everyone formed a line to meet them. Time was running out, everyone had to be out the venue by 11pm. Emily's Army were kind enough to go outside in the rain to spend time with everyone so that people didn't miss out. It was my turn I was talking to them and Cole remembered me from the last time I'd seen them a year earlier. Pretty cool.
That was the start of my week. It's now Thursday and I'm craving another gig. I'm currently doing 12 days in a row in work. It is quite tiring due to having pallets involved in my job... fun. With it being Leeds/Reading FEstival this weekend, I keep thinking back to my experience at Leeds last year. I think I have a bit of post gig depression. I think that weekend could probably be described as one of the best weekends of my life and also one of my worst. I don't think I've ever seen that much mud. To be fair it was fun. That was my first festival experience and I went back to another one this year so it couldn't have been that bad.. right?
Truth be told, I wouldn't have even thought of going for the whole weekend if Green Day weren't there. I only bought my ticket when they got announced, and then I realized how good the rest of the line up was. Obviously Green Day were my favourite thing about the weekend. I mean how could someone not like hearing Dookie played in full, a very rare cover ''A Quick One'' (The Who) and a debut of a song.... on a 30 song setlist. YEAH... Pure Awesomeness.
Well that's me for now. If you're looking for me i'll just be over in the corner reminiscing about Leeds Fest 2013 having a major case of post gig depression.
See you soon,
Grumpy Gig Kat
