Consider it launched
July 28, 2008First a big thanks to all those who piled into the Railway Hotel for the launch party. Something cosmic from the full moon (which occurred at 6pm the night before) leaked one day into the future and filled the night with a curious and intense mixture of dark and light (just the way we like it).
Leisure Class and Deserters energised the room with fantastic edge and class (respectively). By the time we stepped up to the plate to strike our first chords, you might say we had it presented to us on a platter, although a good gid always hangs on a knife edge. But enough of the domestic metaphors…
It was amazing to play to a full room with gigantic, semi- and fully-inebriated smiles all around, including a rowdy bunch of drunken teachers for whom I take no responsiblity (and for now will remain nameless). I got the feeling that it was only the steely stares from Matt which averted the hailing of used underwear from the sky…The party really took off when KASH DJ’s invaded the stage and only stopped when authorites judged that everyone had reached the legal limit of happiness for one night and demanded we move on.
Expect photos and videos to be posted in the near future (and if you have any great shots, make sure you upload them on the Fold’s Facebook page, or the launch event page!).
The Fold hit the town again on Thursday 24th to play the seedier side of town at Pogo (Geddes Lane) and made some great new friends in the form of Howl at the Moon (http://www.myspace.com/howlatthemoonmusic).
Happy Wintering.
