Problem Attic. Insert witty tagline here.

Last week Tragedy of the Commons placed second in the Canterbury University Battle of the Bands, and won a small amount of recording time.

Last night we won the regional final for the Primal Battle of the Bands, which means we’re being flown to Auckland for the National Final!

So to all my beloved Auckland people, you will have a chance to see us play live, next Friday. Unfortunately, I think we only get to play one song, so unless you want to hook us up a really late gig next Friday night, and the gear to play it, you won’t see a whole lot. Ah well.

The rest of first prize was a nice fancy microphone, and free hair styling. Unfortunately, as seen previously, I no longer have hair to style. Goshdarnit.

[Update:] Auckland peoples, we would love to play a gig up there! If you can organise a venue, a P.A., two decent guitar amps, a bass amp, and a drum kit (I can bring my cymbals), you can have yourselves a free Tragedy of the Commons gig, either real late Friday night, or Saturday morning. Contact me if you can help.

Come support Tragedy of the Commons tonight!

The UCSA Ballroom, we’re playing at 9:45pm. If you come earlier you may get to see some of Dialysis’s set.

Also, book in Friday the 3rd of June (next week) where we’re playing in the Primal Battle of the Bands Regional Final. Starts at 8pm, $5.

…is a little chaotic at the moment.

• Work has gone mental; I have enough work right now to get me through until the end of August I would estimate.
• Tragedy of the Commons is gigging two or three times every week, plus practices.
• I’m also trying to do the research for a research paper due late August.

So sorry if I’m not blogging very much. I’ll try not to forget.

Thanks.

For anyone interested, I’ve made available on the internets a calendar including travels, confirmed “Tragedy of the Commons” gigs, and other items I feel might be somewhat useful to people. You’ll need to be running a compatible Calendaring program like iCal, Mozilla Calendar, or Sunbird.

[Update] It will be updated regularly; it automatically syncs changes as I make them. Your calendar program should allow you to set a regular refresh (something sensible please - once a day should be plenty).
