i'm somewhere between disappointed and annoyed, but resigned to the fact that the general populus is going to think a)"aha! restart for sketchy" and b)"ooooh. a chance to see inside the new spring and airbrake" rather than trot to the errigle.
i suspect, since rigsy's thing is weekly rather than monthly, if he'd launched it two weeks ago we wouldn't have been hit so hard. so we had an attendance of 16. as ever though, everyone who came loved the music, which is the only thing making me think it's worthwhile keeping going.
but here, for posterity, is my setlist:
shonen knife - e.s.p.
the shangri-las - the dum dum ditty
voodoo queen's - i'm not bitter - i just want to kill you
huggy bear - herjazz
holly golightly - time will tell
petula clark - don't sleep in the subway
dusty springfield - little by little
the moldy peaches - lucky number nine
the breeders - too alive
bikini kill - rebel girl
zombina and the skeletones - nobody likes you (when you're dead)
the house of love - you don't understand
dionne warwick - do you know the way to san jose?
sleater kinney - ballad of a ladyman
pj harvey - who the fvck?
le tigre - deceptacon
pulp - party hard
jaqueline taib - 7 heures du matin
dubstar - anywhere
chicks on speed - we don't play guitars
the flamingo 50 - philippa
marlowe - feeding time
billy bragg - st monday
the divine comedy - i've been to a marvellous party
* EDIT: after lunch, i discovered that rigsy had about the same turnout that we had.
i wasn't actually claiming that it was entirely rigsy's fault that no one showed up for our night, i just kinda assumed that everyone would automatically go to the s a. clearly wednesday night just isn't a good night for a club!
