Glissando/Her Name Is Calla Tour Blog - Day 4

Glissando NEWCASTLE

The morning consists of coffee and doing an email interview for God Is In the TV webzine who are promoting the Cardiff show on Wednesday.

Tom Waits soundtracks my journey to Newcastle and we travel stress free straight to the Head of Steam venue.

We are playing for the same promoters who put us on in May so it’s really nice to see those guys again, John is his usual welcoming self.

It’s not as busy as last time we played there but that’s been the way of late, it’s a tough time of year to tour. Our set feels very strange tonight, almost like we didn’t even play.

We meet Stephen again who has helped out with some beautiful artwork for us and ‘Calla recently, you must seek his work - www.thesinginggarden.co.uk we share beers and cigarettes and bid a fond farewell.

The journey back is sleepy and something happens which I don’t want to mention anything more about.

Her Name Is Calla

well, we woke up this morning pretty knackered with ruined bodies after last nights amazing five person mosh in the back of our van. We tried to come round as best we could with some fresh sandwiches from a nearby shop. It did nothing for me.

After yesterdays bitter disappointment, we checked our emails to find the ghost that is Robot Professor promotions had emailed us to say he’d already told us that the gig was cancelled a few days back. Of course you did mate. Would of helped if you’d at least taken the gig listing down off of your site.

Anyhew, after literally burning away £100 in diesel and oil, we arrive in Newcastle at The Head of Steam. Lovely little venue where we meet the ever so nice John and Narbi from Fake Indie Label. Sound check is good and there’s a crate of Corona on to help things along.

Not much else to report. We almost die, but that’s it.
