Hi Paul and Jonathan, that 3ds gig at the Gluepot in 1993 was amazing! I was 17 at the time and as the place was so crowded I didn't have to worry about the cops coming in, hauling me out and dropping me off to my folks (my parents were quite strict, and there was a close shave a few weeks earlier). Anyway, I remember the stage was surrounded by Dr Seuss cardboard cut outs, and I vaguely remember the beer incident. I do remember that someone brought their skateboard along (Gareth?) and left it on the stage so that when the 3ds finished, David Mitchell put his guitar on it and pushed it along the stage. Very cool.

It was a great gig, they were on fire, and it was partly due to how much I dug the Venus Trail album. My friend Rich and I both bought a copy and absolutely adored every song on it, but I specifically remember getting very baked at his house one day and taking the whole length of the Young and Restless to dance this very 'limbsy' dance up the stairs. Once we got to the top we realised how silly it must have looked and fell on the floor laughing.
