The Maybeez

There’s a nice long review of our recent gig at the Still Dying All-Dayer at the The Central Music Venue, Nottingham, at studsandpunks.co.uk (scroll down for full review). Extract:

My apologies to The Maybeez for not staying to watch their set. I hope they got the reception they deserved, and going by what I saw earlier in terms of support for the local bands I am sure they did.

Bah. Detailed reviews of all the bands playing, except ours. When unobserved, does a rock band exist in all possible quantum states? This review offers the possibility that we got a good reception, but I guess you’ll never know.

I was going to use this as an excuse to publish an extract from a previous review, but it was so long ago that it has disappeared from the face of the internet.

18th June 2009, The Borough Arms, Ilkeston

After some confusion as to whether we were meant to be playing or not, Jonn duly picked us up drove us to Ilkeston, and as soon as he arrived he started playing the set for his other band ‘Ill Son’.  Highlights of the highly energetic Ill Son set included a bucket banging rendition of Wipeout, and ‘GFD’ a song which informed us of drummer Jonn’s dubious obesity related offstage antics. We went on at half ten and did our usual thing, only interrupted when I broke a string, meaning Gav and Jonn had to entertain the crowd with Gav’s disgusting  song, ‘Dating Agency’ – a rare treat for everyone. Restrung and retuned, we banged out a few more uptempo numbers finishing off the set with ‘(My) Friends’,  which seems to have become a favourite. Then we were heckled into playing more, so we finished again with ‘Mario’, played for the first time in public. What the crowd lacked in number, they made up for in enthusiasm. Cheers guys.
