Well, the Whitby Gothic Weekend was a blast. I was up there on the north-east coast providing cymbals and a gong for top L.A. drummer, Tom Coyne, and one of his bands, Autumn Cannibals - the new solo project of Jeff Diehm from The Last Dance.
They played an excellent set and it was nice to hear my cymbals in a concert setting over a huge P.A. for a change. The crowd was into it too, and was a sight to behold. Such amazing outfits! Everything from Steampunk and near-fetish wear down to "traditional" goth blackness.
I enjoyed staying with the band and a few of their friends in a huge house up on the clifftops. Slightly disappointed in the double-glazed windows though. It would have been nice to hear the waves crashing into the shore more easily while drifting off to sleep. The Cannibals had flown in just for this gig, so they arrived and departed more-or-less in synch with me - Friday night to Sunday morning.
I look forward to catching up with them again when I head out to their home ground in January for the NAMM show.
Meanwhile, here's a couple of songs from their set:
