Friday last week was quite a night to remember. We (as in, the band I'm in, The Moons Of Jupiter) were the support act at an amazing venue called The River Rooms, in Stourbridge, and we were there to support a Depeche Mode tribute band called Black Celebration. They have a pretty sizeable following and do an excellent job, but we didn't actually expect many people to turn up before they were on stage. So we expected a small audience at best.
Well... the actual gig went great, and the venue owners gave us access to the full lights and even the dry ice machines, so it all looked very professional. And as it turned out, there were well over 250 people there, which I didn't find out till afterwards, and in a way I'm kinda glad I didn't know at the time! For a support act, we actually got a really good reaction, so all in all I'm very pleased with how it al went.
And thanks to Jeff from the Black Celebration band for being so welcoming and friendly when we turned up. He had a good chat with us about the music, Depeche Mode, and the synths, so that was really appreciated.
