then a party deep in the hills!

Jesus! Cold and wet, could see your breath. Headed off to do a  gig in a restaurant in the Hills at about 9pm. The bar had been open since 4pm... We expected a harsh time of it! I dressed appropriately. I wuz gonna die in all kindsa patterns and with red strides an' white shoes too

Beats playing to bearded dopes who have just heard Johnny Cash though.
A young trio were playing as we arrived. Very flash and confident guitar player. they all smiled and raved their way through every hit of the 80s and 90s! A cute young jukebox! The dancefloor was full of woman shaking everything they had to all these radio monsters.
We had to follow this.
We set up and the dry ice set the scene and I told 'em the party was over and we were about to ruin their evening. "Go bother the fellow who booked us!" I advised.

We then tore it up for a good hour and three quarters or so.

Yeah we threw in some dynamite disco tunes that night! The party went up another few notches. We drove 'em crazy!
