March 4th - TJ's Newport - TJ's in the park auditions

Well hello there. This here is heavy T, long time roadie and all-new blog master supremo. So expect some good insider info on the G13 guys as viewed through my weired little mind!!




Anyway how about we start with a little bit of news? As the newest member of girl 13, Jules has taken the title of 'hissy-fit king' after having a couple of them during practises. My sources have greatly informed me that Jules has been quoted asking 'if the bar is open' after some of his more stressed moments. In other news, on the 5th of this month it was Mikes birthday. To celebrate we all went to the buffalo bar for a 'couple' of drinks! After Mike's second shot of wrey and nephew he had this to say to me, 'i luf you man' but with this said we carried on unperturbed with the drinking. So when you next see mike remember to give him a great big happy birthday.




O.k so that was the news on with the good stuff, the gig/audition at TJ's. It was early on the Sunday, a time of day that some of the g13 crew hadn't seen in a long time.
So the long trek to the city of Newport had started, transport was limited. Ceri had been enrolled to help take people up but with only a ford ka it wasn't looking good, so up stepped myself and Jules to take the train. But we all arrived in time to be told we were last in the line-up. But it was all good with some time to setup, Girl 13 had time to go through some pre-gig rituals. Not the bad kind though, like sacrificing the other bands to evil Gods or such.
No just triple checking the guitars were in tune, spencer making sure he had enough coke to drink and Jules with a little bit of Muay Tai style warm ups.

Now the time had come for Girl13 to take the stage. The set being only 15 minuets long they had to pack as much G13 goodness in a set as they could possibly get! with that it was started with the feel
good anthem 'NSPCC', followed the the hauntingly beautiful 'Breath again'. Next we had a new song 'cut', Having missed the last few gigs myself this was a new one on me! PunkRock Girl as sung by Jules sounded awesome and to round of this tasty nugget of Girl 13 yummyness was 'Darker side of me', which to my surprise ISN'T about a girl who only suntans her back!!





Anyway if you missed this gig don't forget that Girl 13 will be Callaghans on the 8th of March. So don't miss them again! You been told by the Heavy of the T!
This has been me, and my first G13 Blog hope you tune in for more soon.
Later!
