Anti Nowhere League, Converse Represents, 31st July 2012, 100 Club, London

This is the recording I made at the 100 Club of the Anti Nowhere League's set.
They were great fun, plenty of energy plus a set full of crowd pleasers, I certainly wasnt disappointed. By this time I was absolutely slaughtered & I was up & down like I wanted an Olympic Gold in the pogo (this unfortunately is reflected in the quality of the recording).
Again its unedited, lossless & straight from the master- it IS listenable, I might even go as far as to say enjoyable, but that might be just because of the memories it brings to me of a great night out

I hope someone out there likes it as well, download it, play it & bin it if you think it's crap- or share it if you don't




Tracks:
01 We Are.... The League
02 We Will Survive
03 I Hate People
04 Break The Law
05 This Is War
06 My God's Bigger
07 So What
08 Woman (at the end of this you can hear me say that that 'was dedicated to the ex wife',)
09 Streets Of London
10 For You
11 Pig Iron





Lossless (PCM) from the Master

Discharge - Converse Represents - 31st July 2012, 100 Club, London

Here's the 4th Band from the 100 Club Punk night last month (I didnt record the 3rd band - Goldblade)
Again, not the greatest recording, so I'm just giving it to you as it comes- untouched & lossless
I'm not a great Discharge fan & I got the tunes from the set list which I nicked from the stage at the end of their set. Even though I'm not a fan they were great, they did a good set (had a few mic probs during a couple of songs - one technical & 1 due to a fan nicking it)
I dont think the set list is correct as I'm sure they had to cut it short due to timing issues
Tracks:


01 Hear Nothing
02 Nightmare Continues
03 Look At Tomorrow
04 The End
05 No Feeble Bastard
06 Hell On Earth
07 Cries Of Help
08 Protest & Survive
09 Hype Overload
10 War Is Hell
11 Never Again
12 Fight Back
13 Realities Of War
14 State Violence
15 Possibilities Of Life's Destruction
16 Blood Runs Red
17 Decontrol





as I said this is taken from the set list, but I'm pretty sure they didnt do them all

Converse Represents - 31st July 2012 - live at the Legendary 100 Club

the 100 Club is more than just the venue for this summer’s Represent shows, it is one of the most important clubs in British musical history. For over seventy years the venue has been at the forefront of musical movements from swing and jazz through to punk, indie, reggae and Northern soul. This year the tickets were not on sale but available by signing up on the official site & names being drawn out of the hat as such - I was lucky enough to be one of those names- I only put in for the Punk night & that's what  I got-  happy days
I must admit I had every intention of going there to test my recording equipment & learn what different settings do so that I could, in the future, deliver enjoyable recordings to pass on - especially with 2 PIL gigs coming up this week
 well that was the intention ....... I fucked up, BIG TIME- sorry guys

the reality was that me & my mates met up in London 4 hours before the doors opened & we got pissed- I mean proper blurry eyed, wobbly legs pissed- this was well before we had even set foot through the 100 Club's doors

Once inside the100 Club, I claimed my free limited edition T shirt (given out to the first 100 punters) & hit the bar - no surprises there then and I must admit I'm chuffed with my T shirt.. very sad of me I know

But things got worse, all my plans & good intentions went right out of the window.  I went to the front of the stage, almost on top of the monitors, got crushed in crowds, jumped up & down like a teenager & fell over a few times- all of this with my little recorder doing its job, sitting in my shirt pocket. I did at least remember to press record when the bands came on - I even managed to record 5 of the 6 bands (I really have no idea what I did to lose Goldblade's recording)

Unfortunately this means the recordings are pretty poor- lots of annoying vibrations, the sound quality is up & down like a yoyo- 

in truth I HAVE already learnt quite a bit from this so hopefully my PIL recordings will be better- I doubt they will be perfect
I have learnt the following when recording  (some of this might help any of you wanting to try your first experience in doing the same)
1. Dont stand in part of the crowd where you will get jostled/crushed/knocked over
2. down the front of a gig is great for having fun, crap for recording
3. you have to try & stand as still as reasonably possible if you are making a covert recording- this will help with reducing vibrations as well as dipping sound quality
4 stand a reasonable distance from the stage to benefit from the venues speakers
5 low mic sensitivity for loud venues
6 filters on for heavy bass
7 VERY IMPORTANT _ set recording levels manually NOT on auto- being that lazy will only piss you off the next day when you listen back to what you have

finally 
8 ALCOHOL- leave it out if you are like me & cant just have 1 or 2 when I'm with my mates- it really does fuck up the best made plans & at the time you wont care....until the next day

All in all it was a great night, very enjoyable & lots of fun
Even though I'm quite ashamed/embarrassed by the quality of the recordings I made I'm still going to be sharing them with you 

You never know you might like them???

They are all lossless, taken straight from the master, no artwork & not track separated (they're not worth the time or effort) 

I'll be posting them over the next few days (but def not Wednesday or Thursday as I'll be seeing PIL)

Honestly guys if you download them please pop back & leave brutally honest feedback about what you've heard- we can all have a giggle about these ones
