Round-up: This was the first proper gig! And also the first under Delayed Finality name. Back dropped against the then familiar Travellers Rest, one of Lincoln's most popular venues at the time, this was the event to that would either make them or break them. And guess what...Yupp, they were made here and proved to put on a fantastic show, much better than the Showcase competition they previously done before. New audience, new material and also Sean Kingswood, their new drummer. Despite being their first live gig and the fact that Sean was only acquired on the previous Sunday, giving them only 6 days before a big gig they didn't want to cancel, they pulled it off with ease. Yeah, there were a few subtle hiccups here and there, but all bands have done it once or twice, so there's no real sin there. But what a night though. It was claimed that they got the biggest audience; people were singing along with the "heys" in Donderkoodal like they had known the song for ever; Rowan added comical screamo-esque vocals to Attack of the Killer Tomato, which made another appearance; and Jimmi and Matt got involved with the audience. This night they played alongside some big acts which included Try My Shoes, Joy Riding Range, Dirty As Muck, When The Button Switches and August Underground.
What the band thought: Rowan said before the gig: This is going to be fun...our first proper gig
Jimmi said before the gig: A year ago, I wouldn't have thought that I would be in this position. It feels very unreal but very exciting. And we're playing alongside some fantastic bands...on our first night!
Jimmi says: I have never been so awestruck at the sound of a crowd before! They were cheering and shouting and having a laugh all to songs that Rowan and I have written. They had to be one of the best audiences ever. I knew the night was a hit when we walked off the stage with the audience shouting "more...more...!"
