Guest Blog - Cutaways, Canadian Diary #2

On Friday night we played at an Irish showcase. It was sold out (full of Canadians with Irish grandparents). We didn't realise Canadians liked to party so much! By the time we'd finished our set most of the stage (and the less than impressed bar staff) had been covered in glitter. We even got to glitter up the BBC's own Cathy Moorehead - nice to see a familiar sparkly face.

Saturday was spent at some interesting industry meet ups which were all organised as part of Indie Week. One talk involved having your demo (Lovers Are Lunatics For Us) critiqued by some industry folk, pretty nerve-racking but interesting to hear their comments. We just had enough time to make some last minute prepartions for headlining the big final night of the festival which took place in Reverb.

We took to the stage at 1am after 25 bands had strutted their stuff on 3 different stages. It was the perfect way to round off some great gigs for us, and the crowd were in high spirits. And the prize for the best dancer - one bright yellow keyboard stand (amm... we had no room on the plane).

So all-in-all its been a busy week but even more worthwhile than we had imagined. We can't wait to go back to North America!

Love,

Cutaways
