So much for pouring, our gig at OCI was flooded. We were playing in the back room with a low floor in an old building and the rain was heavy and suddenly we were flooded. The water arrived suddenly, rising fast enough to demand we interrupt a tune to unplug and move instruments and amps. The staff got busy but there was still water when we left. In the meantime we had a goodly laugh with the audience and each other and moved to the main room. Thus a memorable gig, for the flood but also for the music. James had a family event and Dave had Covid so they couldn't play, so it was a makeup band with Ross and Mark and me, terribly out of practice after weeks away. But it all came together for a great fun gig with an interesting twist. So climate comes to effect our gigs, too.
Tilt alt. performed at Old Canberra Inn. The flooded band was Ross Buchanan (piano), Mark Levers (drums) and Eric Pozza (bass).
