It was good to catch up again last night. Unfortunately it wasn't as larger crowd as I had hoped, a few people couldn't make it, but it was still a really good time reminissing over the old days. For a large portion of the time we discussed the OSH legend that was 'Placid Neurotik' - the original band from our year which I think must have surfaced around year 11. Needless to say, with such a stunning name (courtesy of Tom), it didn't survive very long. Just thinking back - I think I helped them out with getting their site up and running - I'd forgotten about that.

Then the talk turned to the gig that never was at the end of the GCSE year (where the school crashed our party and cancelled it before it even started). Then it of course led on to Peat Bog Man. This was a more stable foundation that actually had some mild success in the ska genre. In fact, they have had more success after they disbanded than when they were together, as they have just had one of their tracks featured in the soundtrack of an Indie film called Soulsearcher which I think is a pretty cool achievement. They didn't get paid for it and it's never going to be a blockbuster (check out the trailer), but I'm hoping to get hold of a copy just to experience it.
