Well, I was writing a kinda "Dear diary" account of my big day out, which sometimes I feel the need to do. I even managed to keep some semblance of control over how much I was writing, so it wasn't as long as it could have been, though it could have been shorter. That wasn't a knock! I just get involved.If you ever get the chance, I'd highly recommend that you go and see MM playing I was highly teased when they traversed Canadia and didn't venture south. Some day...Sadly my camera had a bit of a hard time with the gloom at this gig, so the pics came out a bit dark. I think maybe they request Halloween party lighting, because so much of their stuff glows in the dark, even their warpaint. I'm not too certain how MM would feel about my vid, but I have done a "work in progress" upload of the full gig Can always ask, but I hesitate to recommend. I bet they're pragmatic about receiving attention. I mean, they look good, they sound good, and there's a zoom lens — what's to complain about?
You can see the gig which I went to here youtu.be/HtoY1uPbkf0. Thank you very much!In my vid during the song "Dear Joe", you'll see shaneyboyful filming his YouTube upload. This is our life now, we video each other videoing the things we video.

Europe and UK tour 2018
I said that I was looking forward to getting the chance to see MM again soon, and I vaguely remember MM mentioning they'd be coming back in 2018, but hadn't realised they'd be back so soon. For their next Europe and UK tour and it looks like they'll be playing larger venues this time...

Europe and UK tour 2018...I vaguely remember MM mentioning they'd be coming back in 2018, but hadn't realised they'd be back so soon. For their next Europe and UK tour and it looks like they'll be playing larger venues this time... 2018/2/13 【France : Paris】Petit Bain 。 。 。 2018/3/7 【UK:Bristol】Exchange 3-week tour, and it's not even Golden Week. Somebody finally quit the 7 Eleven. 🚶🏻♀️ What it means to me is that Tokyo is as close as they'll come to California this quarter. 🌏

AAAAAAAAARGHHHH! Boo-hoo, poor me...Ah well, I suppose may be nice to have an unused MUTANT MONSTER ticket in my collection. Pah! The only problem with that other than it not getting used is that MM's name isn't even printed on the ticket as for this gig they seem to be the unmentioned support band. Double pah! I really should have caught an early train to Birmingham today and had fully intended to, but sometimes I'm hopeless and I managed to read the train timetable wrong. So I missed the train that was leaving at a the best time for me to have travelled. So I wound up having to go for a later train, but could still have just about made the gig in time for MM. But when I got to the railway station, I found that the train was cancelled due to snow. Grr! Before leaving the house I'd checked to see it the train was still running, but the updates on the website were running late. Probably 'cos of the snow making the internet run slow. Ho hum, but I've got a couple more MM tickets that are smouldering on a shelf and promising me fun later in the week - hopefully...

Everything happens for a reason, but sometimes the reason is SO STUPID. This makes me very sorry, but double the fun next time!! Nothing on YouTube that I can see from this tour, although many good photos are on Twitter. That so many of them are similar looking and in B&W makes me think they are all grabs from somewhere else, even though I don't recognize them right now. twitter.com/search?q=%23MUTANTMONSTERIf it's any consolation, snow and stuff is probably why all of Western Europe isn't French-speaking, 'cause, Napoleon in Russia and all. So there's an upside. How weird is it that, if you are MM at Brickyard, more people watch you fidgeting privately backstage before going on, than ever saw you perform live at the show?

Yay, MM in Cardiff were damn good fun despite only getting a half-hour slot between the local support band's half-hour and the head-liners hour-ish. I'm hoping that I've got some nice MM stuff in my camera despite me not giving it too much attention. I haven't had the chance to check on a decent size screen yet, but looking at what I shot on the camera's tiny screen makes me feel reasonably optimistic. I'll try to get something posted reasonably soon, but the short version is I had a great time.
My thoughts are now turning towards Bristol...

Just something quick, "'cos I was there"... cardiff ticket2018-03-05As MM were supporting Electric Six, sadly the band's name doesn't appear on this ticket for Cardiff, but I got them to sign my ticket anyway. bristol set list 2018-03-07For Bristol, it was an e-ticket that I got, so to get something signed, I was lucky enough to grab this set-list. Next comes the hard bit, coaxing pics and stuff out of my camera...
