Here's the stamp they give people:
It's not a massive place and the inside was like a large living room with a bar. The PA was phenomenal and completely over the top for a venue of this size.
We got everything set up for our soundcheck and the sound was pretty good, both out front and on stage. We hit the stage and it all seemed to go wrong! The sound from our monitors was truly dire and by all accounts it wasn't great out front either. Despite constant twiddling from the sound man our sound on stage never really improved which made it incredibly hard to play. We did manage to get through out set relatively unscathed and new song Love And Lipstick was a success and was also well received. There was a great set of lights in the venue too but for some strange reason they were only turned on for brief spells during our set which was a damn shame.
Overall we played well and were well received by the crowd (and we even got paid - not a lot admittedly but something is better than nothing and it did contribute towards post gig kebabs!).
I don't think we'll be making a return to The Box any time soon but it was definitely a gig worth doing.
