The Stills Day 14, Birmingham, UK

On the way to Birmingham today we made a stop in Manchester to do an XFM radio interview. It's good support for the guys, so it was worth it, but it did make us 2.5 hrs late for load in and souncheck at the Birmingham Academy. When we finally got there, we threw things together as fast as possible and went to meet a couple people from the record label and Kerrang magazine for dinner.

Another good show tonight, pack up the gear for the last time, and we headed out to a place called the Actress & Bishop, which upon first inspection seemed a little weak, but it turned out to be 90s night, so we all (shamefully) relived the music of our youth and it turned out to be a pretty good time.

We headed back to the bus around 3am, with a couple record company people in tow (they missed the last train back to London so they could catch the show, so we gave them a lift on the bus), but we couldn't really hang out on the bus because the driver was still sleeping. So, we did the next best thing. Grabbed a bottle of wine from the bus and 5 of us sat just beside it in the loading bays at the venue til about 5am when it was time to head back to London.
