The Leisure Society are probably the best band in the world. Just putting that out there. Their songs weave their way into my head and stay there for longer than any other band.
Anyway, today I drove to Bournemouth and back for a gig with Greg and band. 8 hour round trip for a 40 minute set. What looked like a really crappy festival on arrival turned out to be a gem of a gig. Rough as shit beforehand, full of drunk teenagers and social aggression (I like that phrase, but not sure if it's a thing), a tiny stage with no monitors and a mudbath, a bunch of passive-aggressive stewards and nobody letting us park anywhere near the festival. But our set was wonderful, and everyone loved it. I really, really like this band.
Gave Steve (bass) and Art (piano) lifts and it was just great conversation both ways. Being in a band is awesome; friendships are built and good times are had.
