4 Bills, Bad Influence and Crouch on Fire!
Relatively quiet week. Friday saw Four Bills play Sutton United FC. Four Bills are a rotating line up of professional musicians led by Johnny Warman playing a mixture of Rnb, Rocknroll and Mod classics. Things like 'Louie Louie' 'My Generation' & 'Sweet Home Chicago' all hit the mark and for two hours entertaiment you can't really argue.
Saturday, watched the England - Andorra game (pointless, AFC Wimbledon would give them a better game!) before going to the Windsor Castle in Carshalton where Bad Influence (a local blues group with Thunder's drummer Harry James) were playing. Fewer covers than normal but they did end with 'Keep Your Hands To Yourself' so it wasn't too bad a night. Noticeably about 80% of the clientiele were smokers which is unusual in this day and age. Maybe something to do with Blues music.
Finally watched Crouch continue his goal run in the Hand & Racquet in Wimbledon with a few mates. Bit of a crap game though did get a good seat at a big table in front of one of the tellys.
As for this weekend, firstly I am off to Ipswich tomorrow for the Saints. Always like going to Portman Road, quite a few good pubs and alawys a good view from the away area.
Sunday, sulphur play Tone's at North Cheam for an afternoon set. Believe we're on around 2.30/3pm for a solid half hour set. Should be fun although with Matt being on honeymoon there's been hardly any rehearsal time so don't expect any new stuff / surprises as we'll be sticking more or less to what we know!
