The Susan Acid set was reular and very good, they played a song called "underworld" to honour the venue, and also a new song , cover version of Alice in Chains song, slow and beautiful.
 One of their fans kept on playing with these piggy teddies which were at the front of the stage, and looking like he was going to be sick on stage. Very good atmosphere. Who did those pigs belong to?
The following bands were good but not as special or interesting as Susan Acid and Smoke, so we didn't stay till the end of the last one. They were also a bit underdressed for their genre.
O-F

Susan Acid played after a very good band called "Smoke The Thin Glass Black" who were a rather interesting mixed band, with slow song and very high vocals for the male singer. We could only catch the last song which was a shame, and the singer, at teh end of their set, asked his audience to stick around for the next bands who were very good, which I personaly found touching, not many bands say that to their fans, on the opposite they try and take them away to the bar for a chat and leave the other bands to deal with their own empty or full rooms.
O-F

It had been a very long time since the last Susan Acid gig and we had heard various news including a tour in Italy and a few concerts around England and Wales. A new drummer completed their band, and that evening at the Upstairs Garage, we thought first of all it would be a little empty, but people came just on time to see them.
 They started and straight away their front man, Matteo, showed signs of change: I used to remember him angry, dark,and restless on stage. He was still that, but he was also sensual, calm, unpredictable, beautiful, and sexy, which is a word I would not use for many people. He just oozed charisma and grace. As  well as being the fucked up Susan acid front man.
The rest of the band was tight, good, and their set was well played.
