The Mae-Shi, JoFo: What a show!
wow the York gig was amazing started off mellow with pretty much just me and a couple of Mae-Shi at the front watching the Loinheart Brothers they were pretty good. JoFo came on and where really good. They were getting heckled from The Mae-Shi, with shouts of SINGLE! I LOVE YOU GUYS and genraly confusing comments, brilliant. JoFo got confused about a girl with a sword, turn out she got it from Whitby and you cant buy JoFo swords from the merch stand, you can however but lots of CD's and fashion them into knives or strange people with JoFo T-shirts if you so wish, excelent advice from the JoFo. Then we get to the main event.....
THE MAE-SHI!!! just about the most fun band I have seen ever. They played most of the set in the crowd with us dancing with them/laying on the floor/jumping around/shouting..... the guitarist from what I can tell pretty much came from behind us in the toilets or somat at the begining god knows where the drummer came from. It was a joyful romp of the highest order. Pretty serreial in places with chants of STAGE CAGE! and POISON.... A nice Lo-Fi costume change leading to a Westlife moment.... The to top it all off at the end they invited me and most of the people who where going mental for them up on stage for the lat tune for dancing, drinks and to play there instruments.... They dismantled the drum kit and spread it round the venue for the crowd to play and gave us guitar and I took over on Base for a while and smacked out some powercord action.... Then it was over everyone amazed at what had just gone on The Mae-Shi are the ultimate party band. realy nice guys too we were chatting and mingeling with them after the show they were really glad people where goin mad for them on a wednesday and they declaired them selves from York LA and they felt at home... Brilliant. Go and see them ummm now or when their on next... that is all.
