horsemouth was bored. his solution (in a bit) was to go out and see minny pops.
the vocalist/songwriter/programmer wally van middendorp was there to greet people outside the small church in the complex (curiously enough next to the hall where the communal endeavour often hold their AGMs, curiously enough behind the cafe where TG and horsemouth are due to meet myk on monday at midday)... and who should arrive but myk.
they chatted. more people arrived (hackney musical types - cos chapman, marina young, lee mcfadden, the drummer from chunktini/ SPEW (is it?)), hannah and ayesha, iona (who was playing), so ayesha and iona from gertrude, iona's husband (dave?), various dutch people.
so three songs. each started on the hour (so each separated by nearly an hour). a quiz with t-shirts as a prize. art on the walls. last song, a request, dolphin spurts - the single that was on factory records that UK people might know them from.
there was a game going on with the gig and what it contains (as well as various games going on with timings). horsemouth found the whole event wonderfully charming. he must say he likes their earliest minimal electropop (these are kind of dnb tempos). the church was a great little space (horsemouth can add it to his list of gigs in churches this year in competition with john clarkson).
total alcohol 2 small cans of that IPA stuff. total walk roughly 5 miles.
when it was done myk wandered off early. horsemouth said his goodbyes and wandered back if not through the park as he had done on the way down then past it.
ok it looks like a beautiful day outside. this evening he's off to see triple negative, enza will be there and possibly a few others. in the day there's a plan to meet up with howard but it's not finalised.
