You may have noticed that there are a lot of Open Mic Nights in Cardiff, an amazing chance for artists and bands to showcase their talents, but theres one problem, what kind of Open Mic Nights are they... Accoustic? Rock? Jazz? Bulgarian Tango?
So here at Release Thee Bats we decided to help you out, so over the next few weeks or so we shall be reviewing some of the Mic Nights to let you know just what kind of things go on there.
Well here we go
Open Mic Reviews #1
The Promised Land, Cardiff, Wednesday nights from 8pm free entry
...one word.
blues.
but reef alcopop and good poppers refreshing blues.
stupid amounts of talent on show.
stuff like baby-faced 20 year old white boys wailing into mikes and touching up their guitars like 77 year old black men from the 50s and beyond who have struggled and failed their whole meaningless hard working class lives with nothing but calloused fingers,bloated livers and the clothes on their broken backs to show for it.
also, a nice serving of ice-hot jazz violin through wah-wah pedal....you heard me, and it's as good in reality as it sounds in the theoretical world.
diverse participants and clientel; old men with beards, baby student girls, old skool rockers, moose, student types who haven't gained enough empirical experience of the world to realise that nu-metal t'shirts are a badge of stupidity, naiveness and shame... etc etc.
be sure to line a pocket with a bottle of liquor of your own choosing.
drinks are fucking expensive...but wetherspoons is opposite the venue, less than a bottles throw/projectile vomit away, so despite short 5-10 min change-overs between acts, you can stuff a few down ya gullet, savvy?
right.
Nice.
