Our first gig of 2008 was a pretty low-key affair at the Tunnels. We hadn't practised for literally 2 months til that very day, so you can't grumble with the overall performance. In a bit of a stramash of a gig, we played alongside indie-poppers and fellow Foyer-botherers The Condiments, punk-pop band Valentine and a heavy metal act that I never caught the name of. The big mix of genres worked better than anyone expected I think, and we raised plenty of money for either the British Heart Foundation or the Medics Having Fun Society... :-)
7 oldish favourites were shown the light of day, but there is new material in the pipeline for our gigs in March and beyond.
Ah, another night at Aberdeen's favourite Cafe that isn't remotely a Cafe, Drummonds.
We needed a confidence booster after the slightly shambolic Wizard show and we got it.
Arguably our best gig so far, playing 7 tracks including a couple of new ones - the cunningly entitled "New" and the very nice "Release", both of which are destined for our album.
We even made some new friends, especially the Australian guy who rated us something rotten!
Thanks to everyone who came out to see us, hope y'all enjoyed yourselves.
Err.. we weren't great. Struggling to find a guitar that could hold its tuning, the first couple of songs were shaky to say the least.
We ralleighed though, and managed to finish off quite strongly.
Still, it was a nice wee experience and hopefully next year, we'll have done enough to merit a spot on the Banshee Stage!
A wee note on our performance from Waves Fm -
"Amplified Battle of the Bands finalists Headlight took to the stage at around 7.15pm, and although their set was marred by technical difficulty, the equipment behaved long enough for the New Deer four-piece to showcase exactly what they’re capable of, even allowing keyboard player Fraser Will to break out the bassoon on one track. Their finest moment came in closing track Rise and Fall, with a sterling vocal performance from frontman Ewan Donald. Their Half Truth EP is out now, and with an album due at the end of the year, Headlight could yet prove to be a name to watch in the local scene and beyond."

Looking forward to it!
Sorry to say this but we have to pull out of the gig on the 21st! our singer has come down with a bad throat infection and will be out of action.
We are gutted, and hope that your not effected by this too much! we will still come along and watch you guys play tho!

Disgusted we weren't given more info about the Feb 16th Tunnels gig. An opportunity for pintage missed. Don't think I'll forget this, you nasty bastards.
Also, send a copy of the single to waves. Who knows, might even rig you with an interview.

I see. Unfortunately, work dictates. What I can do is put in a request for a weekend off. Are there any major major ones kicking about soon?
The beautiful reunion. I'd like to think I was like the twelfth man.

This is true. It's been ridiculously long. Is the level of music suffering as a result?
Consider yourself on the list. And panic not, I'll be there for the next gig.
Which is when?

Can you manage next friday or saturday if we need a band?
I got Fraser's text about the car breakdown in New Deer as I was waiting for the bus, which was luckily running late ! Thanks to Fraser, it saved me a 2nd wasted trip to the Community Centre. Was sorry to hear about it..
I am very happy for you to use any of the pics on your CD sleeve. The only thing is I'm not sure if the shape photo you have in mind will fit the size of the CD cover very well. If you want I can try and re-edit the original pic to a more suitable size. Please let me know what you think ?
By the way, where and when is your next gig ?

"WHEN I TURN TO GO will be the first single off our new album, and will be released about a month before the LP comes out, on the 22nd March. Excellent."
