...yet another Vain thread, but they were FANTATIC!!!

Yes,Vain rawked!!!Was impressed!!Got there 2 late 2 c the support band, so can't comment on that.
Oh yeah, and was glad 2 c that so many peeps turned up, as Ian Hunter was also playing that night, so it kinda devided the rock crowd, as it was impossible to see both. Vain is my choice anyday :-)
Had 2 much 2 drink at the after show party, so going to work on Sat morning wasn't 2 easy, hick, but somehow I managed *monkeygirl gives herself a pat on the back*
It was a really good turn out, I raced there after work, and arrrived about 7-30. The place was pretty empty til about a quarter of the way through NGS, then it just started to fill up.
I was really suprised that so many people new who VAIN were, let alone came out to see them.
I was quite surprised how diverse the crowd was as well.
It was a fantastic show.
Yup, Vain were awesome and those punky Notts upstarts were on fire as well. Good to see a lot of familiar faces too (you know who you are!) [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
Hi Stacey, good to have a chance to say hello again.
Likewise, mate. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
So how were NGS,
I used to play with Aaron and Graham, years ago
great guys
Brilliant show, only wish we coulda stayed for the party after.
NGS were fast and punky, barely stopping for breath in their half-hour-or-so set. For me, that was probably long enough, or I would've collapsed with exhaustion. To be honest, I only recognised one tune, Rock N Roll Overload, which I heard a couple of years back, when Ian popped a cd into my sweaty little palms at Rock City.
Good to see Ian back on the scene, after his horrific crash in Sweden last November. He was doing tech with Vain. We spoke a bit and had a beer back at the Fox afterwards.
The Notts crowd were out in force for their daytrip to the capital. Junktion7 legend, Mr JaimzRiot, look forward to catching up with you for another beer soon too. Let us know how your photos came out, and stick them up online somewhere. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
Hey there Stacey ... great to catch up with you mate. I had an awesome night. Great to see NGS get such a good reaction too ... London can be a tough place for support bands. And yes it really was a case of Nottingham taking over the place for the night ... there were loads of types from up here ...
Keep an eye out for New Gen tho ...

i am totally sickend that i missed this... stupid work... grrrrrrr....
Got the new cd at the gig.Quite enjoying it.Vain has kept their muzic style, unlike many others..

Fantastic gig, it was amazing to see so many people that remembered Vain. I still find it funny that 15 years ago most of us (the guys that is) were skinny with long dyed black hair. Now many of us are thinning out and sporting the beginings of middle aged spread.... [img]redface.gif[/img]
I've known Graham from NGS for more years than I care to remember, this being the first time I have seen them live and I have to agree they rocked! [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
Anyway I had a great time - got my t-shirt signed and got well and truely pissed [img]biggrin.gif[/img] - job well done [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
Welcome to the board Anna-Louise
I had a train to catch so I missed the after show bit, any pix you're willing to share with us?

I'm slowly working round the rest of the bands I never got to see at Nottm and that my parents wouldn't let me se when younger. Got some great pix of Vain after the show too [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
Known Graham from NGS for too long, Ian the roadie even longer.........I miss not living in Nottm anymore! I thought I recognised some people from Rock City... [img]wink.gif[/img]
Well, great for using my little mobile phone outside whilst my other half had claimed a backstage pass [img]wink.gif[/img] I got a couple of nice ones but slightly tainted with the other half being in them (and not so sober!!!) [img]wink.gif[/img] We got the train back and my feet were killing me so we didn't go to the Fox with the others.

Seems to me then that New Gen made a real impact down in London. That is a very cool thing - not only can London be a terrible place for support bands to crack, it is awesome to see a Nottingham band actually making something of themselves. It seems to be way way too long since anything of quality appeared from this neck of the woods - tho at the moment we are spoiled as Teenage Casket Co. are doing real well now too (and even managed to snatch supports to Vain in Bradford and Dudley). All good.

Vain at the Meanfiddler were great..it was the fifth show I attended coming all the way from Australia for the gigs. They played Ready as a 2nd encore too which they only did at Bradford previously. Pity the show wasn't taped for dvd as was originally planned but apparently the people who run the joint are jerks and wanted a shitload of cash. Anyway all the guys in Vain are the nicest dudes and party hard but not quite as hard as my new UK pals or me!!!!!
The aftershow party was good too but i had to leave early as I was catching my 26 hour plane trip home the next day - damn!
VAIN rock and they made a hell of alot of new fans on tehir UK jaunt thats for sure!
BTW Mark wheres my laminate!??!?!??!?!?!??!?!??!?!
Good to hear everything's well, G.
