It went great! I was nervous as hell mind, I mean proper 'pacing, biting my nails, praying nervous.'
It's strange though, as soon as we kicked in to what has been described as the 'relentless, wirey dance-punk' of You Know, You Know, it felt like no time had passed, like we'd played the night before, not 2 years ago. We carried on through signature choons Hurricane and Where's Your Style? before playing old favourite It's Prehistoric! off the first EP Nervous Disposition, from all the way back in 2006. Crowd abuse came next with the exclamation 'no drunk bitches!' before steaming through two songs from our aborted 2nd EP, Modern Day Hero and As The Credits Roll. Slow song Lose The Grace was dedicated 'to absent friends' before closing with our only single The Morning After, ending drenched in feedback with a broken bass hanging off my person.
It was a great low-key gig, people enjoyed it and all the bands were cracking, it was the perfect way to get back into it slowly, our way of saying 'Hi, we're The Firebrand remember us?'

Our 'reunion run' will take us to a few more places, it'll be nice to get out there and show these damm kids that two years ago when we were on our game, you'd need to be on form because we were unstoppable. Nothing has changed. I'm going to look forward to playing with the bands who's members we were playing to back in 06/07.
We three broken-down has-beens have still got quite a bit to prove, trust me.
The run of gigs will hopefully last up until March 2010, expect new songs, drama and violence. It has been christened with a relevant name in respect of this.
'Paining/Roaring: 2009/10'. I'm going to have blood on my hands and bad thoughts in my head. Would you expect anything less?
