Stable
On Monday (18th), Left Hand Red went all the way to Tunbridge Wells to play at the Stable VI battle-of-the-bands competition. The competition takes place every Monday between August and January, with three bands taking part in each round, and the audience voting for their first and second favourite.
We placed second of the three bands, which we think was a real achievement since we only took 5 people with us (plus a couple of MySpacers—thanks!)! The winners on the night were the first band on, DeMode, who brought a big gathering (most of whom left before The Suits hit the stage). Perhaps the organisers should think about restricting voting until after the last band to make things a little fairer!
It doesn’t end there, though. The third and fifth songs from each band are recorded, and sent to a panel. The six bands the panel judge to be the best also qualify for the final, which takes place in July. Fingers crossed!
We were really pleased with the set, and obviously won over a lot of fans with moshing galore, and an encore that capped the set brilliantly.
