Another Townsend gig?

Another one of the mist epic nights of my life :D got to hang out with Violet + Nick + Faffy + Mika, walked about 15 miles in total (I stayed over for the night, and uhm... Was too late to book the Travelodge near the front and yeah... Long walk with too much to carry) met some more awesome Dev fans (who I hope join the forum).

Dave McPherson was amazing imo, I'd go as far to say the best 'support' I've seen yet (I've been to like 10 gigs so far :P). Like ctfod said we got to hang with him plenty of times, and... I made a skullet hat which he decided to wear during Bring him home, Violet pretty much fell onto the floor laughing xD. It was hilarious, 20% stand up comedy indeed! He did plenty of requests, pretty much all of them on the fly and challenging, and there was freakin awesome crow participation (think the choir in Juular, the "aw aw aw aw aw" in Christeen, HEY HEY in Vampira and the whole crowd singing :3 ).

Faffy passed her camera to me and I took a video of the whole thing up to I think the end of Ki, where the mem card filled up. No idea about the sound quality, I think it sounds like Piece was behind me (sorry for sticking my Ziltoid flute in the way of your camera :X ) and the amp was right in my face so *shrug* gotta wait for Faffy to see how the vids are.

I had to go back to my hotel after the gig, and came back maybe half way through the DJ? My friend didn't have her ID which sucked, but I caught Detox. My favourite SYL song? In a club full of Devin fans? After a gig? With him karaoke-ing the chorus?? Perfect end to a perfect night, I'd say xD BUT THAT CLUB WAS THE MOST SWEATY PLACE EVER xD

Again it was wonderful seeing you guy's I'd seen before and meeting new peeps. I was the one with the shortness, jewhawk and OM shirt. :)

OH MAH GAD, such an awesome gig! One of the best I've ever been to, ever! And I've been to a lot of gigs!
But hoooly shit, hottest gig ever! Was so dehydrated by the end. Got a cool pic with the Dev though, and the acoustic album rules.
When I saw Dev at the signing tent at bloodstock I was off my tits and was whisked on quick, but it was nice to shake the mans hand sober and thank him in the least creepy way I could.

Really, really looking forward to the Exeter gig tonight!! Not to mention the in store acoustic set he'll be doing in Newton Abbot beforehand. Dev twice in one day, is there much more you could ask for?!

I'm gonna try and get him to play "My Baby is a Headfuck" by The Wildhearts at some point. That would be aces :D

The Southampton show was easily the best I've seen him out of the 5 times I've had the fortune to do so!

He was funny, genuinely happy to be there, entertaining and the song selection, whilst odd, was awesome! Johnny Be Good acoustic anyone?

The unplugged is amazing too, the tracklist is:

Coast
Terminal
Funeral
Fall
Saloon
Lady Helen
Radial Highway
Kawaii
Ih-Ah!

AAAITE BITCHES I'M HOME!

The gig was amaze. We got back to mine at like 6am, I was up till 7:30 internetting, slept for an hour then got ready for going out again, dragged Faffy out of bed and kissed Mika goodbye then headed to Waterloo. Necked a bunch of Pro Plus with a can of V and got to Southampton where we found a Tim Hortons!

After the epic walk to the venue, we found Phase and his slightly scaled down self in the form of his baby bro and we went for a drink. Two Turntables and Paul turned up, hoisked us indoors and we mooched about while they set up and Dave soundchecked (DAVE IS A CHAMP BTW). As I was looting a Tshirt off Dave (yet foolishly dropped 15 squid into his hand), Mr T arrived, but then had to leave again to see to the mob banging on the windows XD When he came back in his soundchecked, and I was all "OH NUUU MY SISTER'S GONNA BE PISSED OFF CAUSE I'M IN HERE AND SHE'LL BE QUEUEING D:" and he said "LET HER IN!", so when she called me I opened the side door and shrieked at her and my bro inlaw to get indoors and come watch Dev soundcheck. I later found out that just before that happened, a metally bloke was questioning my bro inlaw's general unmetally presence at the gig, asked him why he was there if he didn't even know any of Dev's music and Chris said "Oh, my sister inlaw knows him, we thought we'd come checked it ouuuut" and the guy said "I'm SURE she does..." right as the door flung open. After I squealed Chris said "Oh, looks like I'm required indoors!" with the most tremendous trollface. Dev finished, and I introduced the family to him, Phase and Faffy, then we all had a natter while he changed strings, then everyone came in. The gig was pretty wicked (although Brighton was funnier...) and as usual Devstar and Dave were both top notch. My fave moment was when Lily wormed to the front and cuddled me during Kawaii :3 Awweh. Anyways, they had a bang tidy time and will definitely be checking more of Dev and Dave's tunage out!

And just for fun, some Vilaaat and Derpin-

Oh and you can hear me die in the background during this:
