Nathan White @ Esquires

Well, the lovely Sonja snarled down the phone words to the effect that I had been instrumental in making her miss the inimitable Amy Lee (You know, the brooding singer from Evanesence) - which I vehemently denied, but to little effect. I mentioned that the gig wouldnt really get going until 9 ish, and she took me at my word thereby missing our Amy by over an hour. Apparently she had warbled through her set sometime after 7 and was now nowhere to be seen. On the plus side, Sonja proceeded to relate her experience of a great band called Nathan White who had somewhat lightened her mood by playing a storming set, and graciously handed out a few homemade CD's, one of which our Sonja had escaped with and was now standing outside Esquires in Bedford, explaining how only a well earned drink at The Ship would make her evening complete. And so it is that Nathan White find themselves the subject of tonights entry into the Red Baron Chronicles.
From their myspace website comes the following quote:

Nathan White is signed to the fledgeling Crossflow Recordings from which stable his new LP is to appear called simply "Pretty Ugly". If the EP in our possession is anything to go on, this will be a corker of a set. Check out FREAKSHOW and MOD from the EP and make up your own mind.

As a footnote to this entry, I chanced upon a new live music venue that had recently opened up in Luton called The Live Room which I will doubtless be checking out in the coming weeks. Have fun!
