My first live gig went incredibly well! I am so happy!! It was held in a wonderfully dark, spooky cellar and together with a friend we created dark ambient noises using only circuit bent equipment, two soundlabs, and a couple of old cassette tapes.
I've put some pictures on my website for your viewing pleasure. There's also a 30min recording; the minidisc ran out after that and I didn't have extra disks.
Live performance is such an incredible buzz! I am still over the moon, delighted that it went well  It turned out to be a great idea to leave all the laptops and computer bits at home and just work with the toys. Near the end, we passed out the toys on the ends of long, curly cables so the audience could do some button mashing too
We played for more than 90mins, with just a tiny break in the middle, it was exhausting but wonderful at the same time As there were DJs playing at the same time somewhere else in the building, the audience sort of drifted between their sets and our live improv in the cellar.
A huge thanks goes out to Pehr who joined in with his soundlabs and bent toys.
I will definitely be doing this stuff again! happy! happy! happy! happy!

sounds amazing
playing live is a rush.
ive played gigs with a similar set up to yours.
half the fun is trying to get all the equipment to work on the night

Cool, glad it went well
Do you think it worked out better than it would've in the art gallery you mentioned before?

Live performance is such an incredible buzz! I concur. Last friday my band and I had our first gig ever too. I was a total wreck from being nervous, but when I got on, the feeling lifted. A good tip is to practise alot before the gig. Essential! We played with "The Ladybug Transistor", sweet music they had, anyway..
a couple of images for those who might be interested:

Tenine: yeah I think it went much better in the cellar venue rather than a big white room. But I'll be playing there next month. I will try and think up something a little different that'll fit that occasion better... handing out the toys into the audience worked really well, so maybe I'll try some interactive music/soundscape performance at the gallery instead
cornbb: not hairy anymore, I cut the dreadlocks off International tour coming soon i promise! (soon as i figure out how to carry 30 bits of gear..)
