"you people are the cleanest gig crowd i've ever seen in my life"

-mark the sound guy, after the gig tear-down, commenting on the event's teetotality

done and dusted. finito. khalas.

the gig was a resounding success, and we have these people to thank.

bleedinggums, terel brigade, lighter fluid, nevermind the hazatsu, bantal kekabu, forbidden donut, from curry to kurma, bandung and some band from sheffield i can't for the life of me remember - for their dedication, their time, their money spent on rehearsals and travel, and the support.

the kick-ass audience - for their support and willingness to attend this humble event of ours, no matter near or far.

waq and mark - for the most excellent aural and visual experience we'd never have expected to hear and see. i hope you guys enjoyed the nottingham ayam!

ROTTW magazine - for wanting to cover the gig. we are not worthy!

this is something we have dreamt of doing for quite some time, and alhamdulillah, everything went like clockwork. a million thanks to the willingness of every single soul who helped with the event, some of whom have come as far as caerdydd. this gig was indeed the culmination of the hard work of all involved, and we can't thank you guys enough.

this is also living proof that gigs aren't within the remit of entertainment for so-called outcasts. everyone had clean, good fun and had a rocking good time. truly a "no sex, no drugs, only rock 'n' roll" experience. it goes to show how far simple, decent and common sense can take you. we'd also like to add, pogo-ing had never been an exotic dance form to any of our knowledge.

a gig next year in the works? take a look at these smiling faces, and you will see the answer.
