MESHMASS performed under the auspices of 'ceremonial laptop' at the rose hill in brighton on 1.11.2018. they were on at about 10 and played for nearly an hour. they used birdsong recorded at dawn in spain, 3 Strasser-Marigaux-LeMaire saxophones, a yamaha electric guitar, an i-pad, a laptop and some nervous energy. the other acts on that evening were 'undoing' and 'ninit'. it all went rather well, no-one knew what to expect (of course) but somehow ceremonial laptop had filled the place up with largely young people and they were attentive and appreciative. people clapped. people moved about as if they thought they might dance. people said they liked it, and it may have been true. the sound was great, not too loud and admirably clear. the rose hill is a splendid place. it has green tiles all over the front and is tucked away near preston circus where the fire station is. there's a great pizza house on the corner, called 'fatto a mano' (which doesn't mean 'fat bloke', incidentally, but 'hand-made'). they book creative and unusual entertainments and generally behave far too well to both audience and performers. we recommend them to you. we hope to go again.
