So the first show went pretty... erhm... okay....

Peoples!

Just wanted to say that I overcame the stage fright thing and the show worked out really well.

During the soundcheck a guy came up to the stage and told me to turn down the volume (which is impossible because the drummer is a beast),
and I told him to use some earplugs. He said "I'm already wearing them"... haha. When we started the audience stepped back for a good 3-4 meters,
but most of them grinning, during one song the guitar broke down and I just grabbed the microphone, yelling the lyrics and pointing at the women
in the crowd. Seems like it was a good thing to do, since I didn't have to sleep at my place that night. Funny thing is the women seemed to like the show
much more than the guys (although it was so brutal).  I'm totally turned on to gigging again and I can't wait to record a demo and play every single
fucking place in the area.

Thanks!

I'll definitely try and get some gigs in Holland (take advantage of some old connections),
but I think that will not happen in the all too near future, we have only 25 mins worth of
material yet, but a few new songs are in the make and we'll have to record a demo first and
so on...
