Well, i dont know about you guys, but i reckon the gig at Transit Lounge @ Metro would have had to be the BEST ONE EVER!!! The boys were headlining an already outstanding bill, and true to form they didnt disappoint, with an 11-song set that was delivered with great intensity and precision. They gave it their all, and the results spoke for themselves... Big word up to everyone involved in getting the gig organised, as well as Kilter, Full Ride 20", One Shot Kill and Ultranoise for some killer sets as well! And as a special treat (man i hope this works) i have a small video sample from the AiC set available by clicking on the pic on the main page! Now this was recorded with my digi-camera, so the sound is not the greatest, but the vision is pretty good! it turned out alot better than i expected... im kinda disappointed i didnt take some more footage! There should be pics up later on today, of both the gig last nite and the jam the week before..... Next gig is still in the pipeline, as well as some possible recording sessions, so keep an eye on the site, for all the AiC happeningingtons. Cuz as soon as the band confirm anything, it'll be up here! Cyaz
