Matchbox in size, the Maurice Einhardt Neu gallery was rammed for Dai's Jan.21,2010 exhibition. Being just next to Mother ad agency probably helped numbers, it was so heaving I didn't even get to see the band, I've been on rush-hour tubes that were less busy. As well as the usual suspects mentioned in GI's invitation post, it was good to meet up with some of my old gang from the Mean Fuckers. Once the cider ran out, it was on to The Owl & The Pussycat pub for a few more bevies, but me and Red Max Steve - who had brought along the refreshed SRs he had rebuilt for Dai, were peckish and headed for the Rootmaster [sic] double-decker bus restaurant parked up behind the Truman Brewery, with old friends of mine Karta Healy and Nick Ashley. We were only informed once bundled into the back of Mai's Nissan Skyline GT-R; that was even more cramped than the gallery, that it was a French run vegan set-up. I'm not sure if the look of fear on Steve's face was the fear of wether he (or his quiff) would survive some cross-London Fast & Furious lane-splitting, or the prospect of having to eat garlic flavor mung beans. The food was truly Exceptional. Thanks for instigating such a great evening Dai. BP
UPDATE
As Steve was up in town earlier before the masses, he actually got to see the band, This is what Playband look like rehearsing.
