My set at
Bandwidth:
0. Heiress / The Immortal / Intro
1. Lenticular Cup
2. Skirr
3. Believe Again Remix
4. AMay
Bandwidth was an extremely successful and entertaining event. In terms of watching bands, a turnaround time of 30 minutes with few gaps inbetween (each band sets up while the previous one plays), is very satisfying. The diversity and number of acts ensures a constantly changing dynamic and enough moods and styles to please almost anybody. There were also comfy chairs, there was room to move around in and the venue had tons of character. Huge props to the organisers. And smaller props to me for helping man the merchandise stand for decent sections of the night.
From performer perspective, I have to admit I found setting up around the previous band quite hard to do, and I got sat on by the front lady of Actual Russian Brides temporarily for my troubles. The venue was also quite cold, and the rubbish circulation in my hands meant my keyboard playing (in the actual piano-like sense) was pretty poor. Still, after an absolutely nerve-wracking few minutes of being bathed in alien light - in which I was almost unable to recognise my own equipment - and feeling cold and clumsy, and losing my way all around the keyboard, the performance kicked in and took off.
