A Halloween
gig that was truly scary, but for all the wrong reasons! The
venue was located in a big room at the back of a cafeteria located
in the bowels of a trashy suburb outside Vancouver. Insufficient
lighting and poor sound made it impossible to hear or see to
play which resulted in the "Helen Keller" experience
for the band on stage. The overcrowded and tiny stage also added
to the claustrophobic atmosphere. The
band struggled through a clumsy set for 30 minutes until the
performance was brought to an abrupt end by the sudden departure
of a thoroughly frustrated Mr. Fist.
Despite
these obstacles, the audience response after the show was remarkably
positive and no one seemed to be aware of the hell happening
on the stage. Will wonders never cease!
