Latino's Clash of the Bands

Hello everybody,

Last night, Misses Nice was playing in a new contest for unsigned bands called Clash of the Bands.
There were two other bands on the list: Black Flight and Big Dance.
The venue called Latino's was situated in Croydon.
Nat drove us from Stratford to there, Fred as a co-pilot and me at the back with the guitar, the bass, the symballs next to me and the guitar amp and the snare drum in the boot (Yes: all that in a Ford Ka), it took us about an hour to go there and 'discover' the place where they were going to play!!! A good half an hour later arrived John and Nico who, as a Ka is big but, we thought, not big enough for two more guys, had to take the tube, the train and the tram to go there!!!!
The first band, Black Flight from Croydon, took the stage for a sound check. Too long later and half an hour late, the organiser took the mic and welcomed everyone, said a few words, and said as there is not enough people, the vote won't take place and that the three bands were going to be asked to come back at later dates when, hopefully, more people would have heard of the contest and would turn up...
This said, we had John and his two friends (sorry guys, I don't recall your names), Paul and Sophie, Nat and I, who were there for Misses Nice!!!!!! It's not our fault if the other bands didn't bring ANY people!!!!
OK, so first band: Black Flight. Euhhhhhh, welll..... Second band: Big Dance: Punk Rock, Reggae style, quite entertaining actually!!!
Finally Misses Nice came up on stage. We all stood up, went to the dance floor (which was pretty empty all night, except the fly I saw around 9 o'clock!) and supported our favorite band!
I don't recall the exact order of the set list but Basically we were treated with the usual Intro, Hello, a tribute to Queen with Stone Cold Crazy, the Boat, Babe, I got a gun, Medley I, the Barman, Melody and Purple.

And actually, compared to the 2 previous hours where everyone was just waiting for the end (especially the barmaid), people were dancing, a group of 4 or 5 people, joined us on the dance floor and really enjoyed the music. I even saw some smiles on faces of some of the musicians from Black Flight!!!
They played about 45minutes but it looked like 3minutes 13sec!!!

We then embarked on our journey home.... Where, believe or not, it is actually possible to fill a Ka with 5 people,a guitar, a bass, a guitar amp, a bag of symballs and a big ruck bag!!!!!!
We got a bit lost but Nat quickly found a Plan B to go back to Stratford...
So thanks to everyone, John, Paul, Sophie, and especially Nat and her Ford Ka!!!!
I'll post as soon as possible all the photos and I'll stock them under the key Lat!!!
See u later

Re- reloaded Dog 11th November 05

Hello everyone,

MissesNice was playing at the Loaded Dog this past Friday night. We were treated again with 70's Classic Rock Music + a lot of original material including Hello, Babe, The Boogie, the Boat, I got a gun, etc....
Also we had some very special guests:
First of all, we had Sean, who went on stage and sang his heart out and treating us with a Freddy Mercury-like Vocal performance. I think he was very much appreciated by the audience.
Next, we had Brian Barry, who, being a fan of the Beach Boys, could not resist to jump on stage to sing BB songs with the band. Brian and the MissesNice!!!!! lol
And finally, we had that guy, I have no idea who's coming from but took Nico's guitar during a break and played some good stuff.
Those 3 guys along with the medleys and the Vivaldi tribute were definitely the highlights of the night.
Then at the end of the gig, Nico played alone (not as loud!!!) a few songs, which closed the show
I would like to thank Jacquie and Brian for coming (they couldn't believe when people were head banging on BB songs!!!!), I loved being with you guys!!!!
Also all thanks to Natalie and Russel for taking photos, that I hope I'll be able to post soon.
Thanks to Russel again to bring along his friends and dance on the dance floor all night!!!!
Thanks to Stu, Julia and everyone at the Loaded Dog for their letting them play in their venue.
Thanks to Fred, Nico and John for entertaining us for more than 4 hours one more time....
See u later guys
