Direct from the National Express coach station Glasgow to Monorail Records and in the taxi it was a huge collective sigh of relief to be away from the hell bus and back to the real world. It was hustle into the record shop set up and do an instore performance. We set our sights on the mesmerizing and hypnotic but eased back a bit on the volume as there is a cafe and bar attached to the record shop. Really it's quite a cool little setup, and I wish there were more places like this in general. The folks here were mighty receptive and although we were totally drained from our bus ride the enthusiasm in the room gave us that bit of energy and initiative to throw down a 40 minute set of atmoshperic and psychedelic tones. Mostly it was tough to try and pack down the equipment and we decided to leave it all be until we got back tomorrow to pick up the equipment for the next nights show at Stereo in the heart of Glasgow. The fine folks here fed us and brought us proper beers and generally made us feel like a cross between long lost family and honored guests. Russell and John and Dave all hung out until one by one we started to pass out and had to be escorted to cabs and back to Russell and Kirsty's flat. It was very much surreal in the best possible way.
