Metamatic Forums Links and Connections Louis Gordon Louis Gordon - E.S.T. Launch party

Excellent news - count us all in...

Damn. I won't be on holiday until the following Saturday

Well... if you can't make that one you could always try the East Grinstead gig on the 26th June (separate thread).

Hi Shaun/Matt...Anybody! Excuse my ignorance and/or stupidity, but is this a 'just turn up at the door' type do, or do we have to be on a guest list of sorts? I should be able to make it to the Launch Party, but I don't want to get all the way there to be told 'No, you're not allowed in!'
Thanks in advance, John.

I think its just turn up.

I've also said yes (twice) from invites on Facebook.

As that old codger said at fozzywicks ball in Scrooge - 'Welcome one and welcome all'

Free, all welcome, 7:30pm onwards.

You will be greeted by a complimentary glass of crisp, cold Italian wine and a light buffet.

Matt

Thanks for the swift response lads! Much appreciated. Looking forward to a great night!

Ow me poor head.

Dadge I saw you but you were gone by the time I got to that side of the room.

Here are a few pics,vids to follow.

Dont worry Shaun I wont post Purple Dancer

Great picys of the guys, thanks for posting.

Great to meet you too Brian. Nice to introduce you to the famous drummer on Metamatic too, (me trusty old CR-78 - funny looking things aren't they?)

Also thanks for showing consideration and not posting video's of my over-enthusiastic dance shapes

A top night and nice to chat to many of you that attended

Cheers Shaun,

My heads so sore that I forgot to mention I got a tour of the stage & had a good look at that drum machine

Also Matt showed me his custom made noise box ,great instant effects from a few nob twiddles.

Cheers for the stage tour guys

Some of Kerry's clearer pics:-

Thanks for posting pics Brian!

Thats the best quality video clip of all the bits ive seen, and Kerrys picys are great, especially the top one.
I see they used minidisc's too.
Wish i could have been there....

Cheers Ken & Fons.

I'm currently uploading Magic Eye.

They take all day to upload because they are in HD.

Magic Eye should be cooked by the morning.

Kerry has more pics & footage of me on my stage tour but he cant find the SD card.

Energetic

Nice one, I'd forgotten how raucous it became.

I think I need a dose of this air now to calm down

One more for the road.

Crash that Car:-

E.S.T. is a nice album and Crash That Car is my favourite song of it.
I'm not sure about T.M.P.E.O.T.Y.
Perhaps I must have a few more listens...

Thanks for the great photos, Brian!!

Thanks for posting the Videos Brian, would love to see the ShadyGradyShow live myself

Ditto.

I would have loved to have been at this show, and the one before in Eas Grinstead.

Louis deserves all that's coming to him - a total fruit loop and nutty crunch with a genie's arse...

Brilliant stuff - thanks for sharing it Brian (and all others posting at youtube)

Crash That Car is a real favourite of mine

Cheers everybody & thanks for the Youtube comments.

Got to agree about Crash that Car.

The Motion Picture Event of the Year I totally got from the second play.Having grown up in the 70s with British TV & all the other references.

It takes me to a place I recognise.

A work of whimsy & genius

Whilst clearing out a memory card for this afternoon I found a few missing pictures from Saturday night.











Is that really a large clingfilm wrapped cheese next to Louis mixing desk?

LOL... nope, it's a pork pie. One of Lou's Shropshire mates brought up for him. Lou promised me "we was having it" after the gig but that was the last I saw of it

I'd never heard any of Louis' own material until I went to Toffeetones website and heard the samples from the new double album. They sounded amazing.I've put my order in and can't wait to hear it in full!!
