High Speed Hangover played their first wedding reception gig over the weekend! The venue was Hanham Community Center which has a surprisingly spacious main hall packed with 150 enthusiastic wedding-goers. It was a huge amount of fun, and we hope to play more weddings in the future. It was such a lovely atmosphere!

Gig at the Mayor’s Arms, Bristol

band — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 19:27:36 +0000

High Speed Hangover had its inaugural gig at The Mayor’s Arms, Bristol on the 23rd July 2008.

Richard W took the lead on the vocals, as Catalina had not yet joined the band. The band played for a full two hours – 26 songs – so the audience definitely got their money’s worth. Particularly as the gig was free .

We’d prepared songs for the encore in advance, as is the custom, but ended up changing things – the audience requested we did ‘Poison’ again, and Richard performed one of his own songs ‘Transfusion’ – a comedy rap song about an injury-prone guy struggling to get the blood transfusion he so desperately needs. We hadn’t actually ever played this song together before so it was a bit of a surprise when Richard started it off!

You can download an mp3 remix of ‘Transfusion’ produced by our drummer Ben Clayton here.
