Second Gig - Success!!!

Hey everyone, hope all is good with you. I don't know where the past week has gone, but the weekend sure came around and with it our second gig. Black Autumn 06. Quite a large hall, with a proper stage, first on and a good turn out. Nerves melted away faster this time, especially as I didn't have time to think about it (on stage, erm start, ah crap!) lol, but I really enjoyed it, moved about more and had fun really.



I gave my camera to a friend (but it had low battery frown ) so these are all the photos I have.(So it looks like I was glued to the fretboard, but I wasn't I promise). There were quite alot of young un's there and we even had a mosh pit for master of puppets! (That really made me smile), good response from the audience and the rest of the bands were really nice, Inc Fall of one who was on next who said 'TriAxis fucking rocked!' Or something I was too happy to listen properly. The other bands were Illegal Amigoz and Wizards of Oz (who are bass player is in), and all in all a fucking enjoyable evening.



Hoping to get some more gigs (probs Nov, Dec now), and support slots, so if anyone knows anything, drop me a line. Most impressive thing was I found a review!!

REVIEW FROM BLACK AUTUMN 2006 from Metal Vision UK

The first act TRI-AXIS takes to the stage. They are a mix of members from other regional bands; they play direct covers and nothing else.
We have the obligatory "seek and destroy, master of puppets" etc. It was nice to hear "Seasons in the Abyss" though.

Its difficult to review a cover band but what they do they do well and it was nice to hear the more popular metal covers, sometimes cover bands over complicate things by doing "third track from the B-side of the Japanese release" type of thing. Covers are covers but it would help if we knew them.

TRI-AXIS proved to be a good opener, and the half-empty hall agreed.

8/10


He/She was a bit sarcastic throughout the whole review (as in he didn't realise this was our second gig and writing material, and also dude do u want the 'obligatory' classics or unknowns, I'm confused!!), However! 8/10, really chuffed and makes me look forward to getting back on the stage.
PLUG!: ADD ME BABY
