Quantum Lounge at Newtown RSL
The Final Monday Night Quantum Lounge Tonight! After 5 months - Sadly, we have been relieved of our spot at Newtown RSL on Monday nights in order to make way for the new Poker night they are starting up then Just when things were picking up, and after the new format was implemented, and Leyne's promotions were starting to take effect ! I was just thinking how well things were going the other day, 'cause we've started to get had some great acts turning up to perform. Ah well! It's too late to do anything about it now. But wait - there is a chance, we could end up moving to another night or venue! So watch this space to see what happens over the next few weeks.
Any way what a great night it turned out to be! Flaming Galahs (Hal Shorter, Martin Smith and minus David Lucas who is performing in the play "Cosi" at Newtown currently) performed their final set at the Quantum Lounge. We were very happy with our set. It was one of our best so far I thought, though I could be biased. We managed to introduce new parts as per our last rehearsal and generally had a really good time on stage. The night was very special to me 'cause there were a few workmates in the crowd (Elizabeth, Aysha and Tom) who came to see me at QL for the first time. Afterwards we had an amazing performance by guest artist Radical Son who performed some solo spoken words. And another new talent to appear was the young band named The Flooded Basement who performed an acoustic bunch of songs to rousing applause. Simon had to leave early in our set due to rent inspection tomorrow, but Rex Havoc stepped up to the plate to provide some tunes, spoons and some mc-ing to boot! Then after a short speech my Martin and Myself. We sayed goodbye to the last remaining survivors. Until we meet again - in the next life of the Quantum Lounge!
