Thanks to everyone that came to see us at The Loft. The malfunctioning smoke machine gave the evening a wonderfully Spinal Tapish feel that may have contributed to Blaine's somewhat playful mood. Check out the video on our myspace page to see Blaine continue his one man crusade against The Loft's ceiling.

Many thanks to all the people who came to see us in Bedford. It was a great night with quality bands that left me partialy blinded for half of Saturday (beer and chilli seems like a classic combination but in the wrong hands it's deadly).
If you missed the interview you can listen to it here.
If you live in the Beds / Bucks area you can catch Blaine, Barry and Mark being interviewed by Gaz and Karen on Chiltern 97.6FM. The interview will be played twice between 7 and 9am and covers diverse subjects such as forming the band, life outside Portion, and poo.
