Sleeping on a pub bench is harsh on the body’s joints. Take this from us, we are the knowledgeable in that particular area of ergonomics.

Morning came. Got ourselves some breakfast and talked politics for a while. Long drive back to Jake’s in Birmingham, during which we were treated to the spectacle of British weather, from rain to shine and back for around fifteen times in a half hour.

At Jake’s we relaxed and rested our tired bones for a while, showered, played Wii and got treated to some earthshakingly good soup courtesy of Zoe, Jake’s girl.

After a short drive to Stourbridge we got to Katie Fitzgeralds, the venue for tonight, and man, it is awesome. A small room, granted, but nice stage and sound set up, spotless clean and in general has a great vibe about it.

The Godsize boys walked in shortly after and they are a great bunch, entertaining us from the get-go with stories of Amsterdam later on in the night and MC Hammer in 1991. Awesome boys.

The gig was really good too! There was a good crowd for both Slab and Godsize, both of whom sang our praises, and in Godsize’s case, ‘greeted’ us in the vilest Maltese possible. The room was boiling with vapor from people breathing and pretty soon condensation formed on everything, making playing a little harder since our instruments became quite slippery then.

We played the longest setlist thus far on this tour and we had a really good reception from everyone there, although to be fair, by the end of it, we were deafened. Really good gig all in all, we were very pleased and will definitely return!

Short drive back to Birmingham and a stop at an all night kebab house for a midnight snack and then we hit the hay.

Tuesday is press day for, we have interviews scheduled with a few people, including Kerrang here in Birmingham. After that, we’ll just rest and prepare ourselves for the 5 gig sprint as of tomorrow! Wakefield beckons!

Will have photos up on this post soon, as soon as the batteries on the camera charge up a little! Details about our radio stuff will also follow shortly!
