Notes

Intense set (multiple 50 gallon oil drums were brought out this time) which oddly didn't include anything from their latest album "Aegean".  At one point drummer Alan gets "fired" so Kerry can play drums on "Ivory Coast"...he's told there's no back door, you have to leave in shame in front of all of these people...but don't fret, he's back pounding the skins by "Spice Fields"...no shirt, all service.

I taped this group at the very same location last year. If anything, I found them even more enjoyable the second time around! One of the finest UK indie-funk groups to ever grace our shores. They covered Pylon's "M Train", in memory of Randy Bewley their guitarist who passed away last year. I was lucky to have saw them (briefly) at PTP last year and at their penultimate gig at the Independent in SF a couple of days after.

And I was lucky to see the Medium Medium guys play here...unlike the previous year Andy Ryder was all in black instead of his typical all-white garb. Amazingly, since their reformation, they have *only* played Stateside...and not often, only a half-dozen or so times at most.

If I must say so, this is a superb recording, one of the best I've ever done. Spent quite a bit on time in "post", it's worth it.

Included some good pictures from my friend Mark and some not-so-good iPhone blurrage from myself.  As well as a pic by Ned Raggett.
