ロンドン

一日だけの滞在でロンドンに来るなんて初めて。今回ワーキングパーミット書面で用意していったのに
こんな時に限ってイミグレーション超ゆるゆる、ろくに見もせずスルー。

ファブリックは昨年に続いて二度目ですが、今回も大役CLOSERで4時半からラストの6時まで。
で、今回は10周年なので、盛り上がりは絶対。
同じルームでの競演はTHE SUBS、FILTHY DUKESやSIMIAN MOBILE DISCO。
れいによってここんちのサウンドシステムはめちゃ優秀なのですが、故に機材を持ち込むのに制限があります。
今回は最終のマスターにEFX1000は絶対許可出来ない、との理由でやむなくミキサーをクラブ指定のもので。
でもまー始まってしまえばなんの事はありません。
定時にSMDから引き継いでラストまで完全やりきりでした。
惜しむらくは、僕がラストの曲の終わり10何秒ってとこでクラブ側があと15分やってほしい、周年だし！
って言って来て、終わりの終わりで急に言われても対応出来ないと判断した我らに、なにやら不服のよう。
って、だーれも悪くないのにね。でもとにかく素敵な10周年に参加出来て光栄。

例によって現場レポはPHOTOからで！

さあ、用意して今回の最終地点スペインはガルシア地方LA CORUNAでのフェスに向かいます。

LONDON
It was my first time ever to be allowed in with just a glance. Even though I got all my paperwork together along with the working permit, this time, for whatever reason, the reception was lackluster; they barely bothered to look at the documents before letting me through.

Continuing from last year, this is my second time to play a big role at Club FABRIC as the closer (4:30-6:00). Because this was the 10th year anniversary party, it was destined to pick up! I played in the same room as THE SUBS, FILTHY DUKES, and others like SIMIAN MOBILE DISCO. As always, the sound system there is excellent, but there is a limit to the amount of equipment one can bring in. This time after the final check, the decision against using the EFX-1000 was made so I just ended up using the house mixer. But as soon as it got rolling there were no problems. I pled a killer set right on time after SMD. It’s too bad but with only about 10 seconds left in my last song, the club asked if I could play another 15 minutes!? Well it was the anniversary and all but… at the end of the END!

They seemed a little disappointed about our not being able to comply with the request. But no on is to blame! It was a great 10th year anniversary party, and an honor to take part in it. As always, enjoy the party report and pics!

So now, it’s off to the last stop, a festival in the Garcia area at LA CORUNA.
