Last night Tim's band - The Moon Whispers, rocked the socks off everyone at the Valve Bar! It was a great chance to listen to some awesome NZ music, and to check out the graffiti in the toilets. (I know, I'm a little peculiar!) but the graffiti in those toilets makes it worth visiting the bar alone.
We started the night by inviting Bruce, Elisa, Dan, and his partner, Harriet, over for dinner before the gig. They all rocked up here and we had a pleasant dinner together before getting ready to go out.
It was lovely to see a good turnout in the audience, and to catch up with some old friends we hadn't seen for a while (thanks to James, Katherine, and Ian for turning up!). An added bonus was having Tim's sister, Ses, there - and her comment about Tim being the sexiest guy on stage, which made me smile :D I told her that I would go home and promptly ravish him, which no doubt left her feeling a little squeamish! oh well!
Eliza (Tim's cousin) also turned up with her new man, who seems really nice. Lots of drunken fun ensued.....
A couple of REALLY drunk teenage girls provided us with some comic relief during the set as they danced madly around, nearly tripped up a few times (Katherine was worried that they would end up in her lap, as we were in the front row, so she had to move her chair back!), and to top it all off, one of them managed to lose both her shoes - one ending up, somehow, on top of Tim's bass amp! we were impressed to see them jump up and 'chest bump' each other, in mid air! ah to be 18 again! (and full of Alcohol.......)
For this gig, Elisa decided to dress up as a boy, and turned up wearing a shirt and tails, and a bowler hat. She looked stunning as usual, and sung beautifully. Tim played bass really well, and I felt that the whole band has really started to jell together more. Dan didn't play the drums too loudly either, which everyone was relieved about.
