including all the best tracks from our new album. Hope to see you there!

Thursday 1st March - The Bull, Barton
Although not officially a Diskordian gig, some or all of us will be at these 'open mic' acoustic nights about once a month.
It's a regular(ish) event for us, as it's a great way to try out new songs and acoustic tracks in a chilled out environment.
It's a friendly place with good beer and a supportive crowd so why not come along and experience Diskordian and loads of other great local talent up close and personal?
The Bull, Bedford Road, Barton-Le-Clay, Beds
First Thursday of each month from 9pm
FREE ENTRY

Thurs 15th December - The Garage, Islington, London
Our first London gig in over 3 years and it went pretty well. We played a blinding set featuring our best tunes from the new album, including
Play With My Heart, Stranger and Cry Out Loud. We even stuck Find You in at the end as a special 'treat' for former band member Andy, who was there.
Generally the sound was good, at least out front and, despite a few technical hitches with Rory's amp we felt we played the best we'd ever played. We also got a fantastic response,
not only from our collective fans but also from others who had not heard us before. However, this was a battle of the bands thing and the support from the crowd during the set did not translate
into votes at the end of it (people tend to only vote for their friends in these things). As such, despite the fact that 6 bands performed and 4 went through to the next round, we didn't!
Kinda sucks but, if considered simply as a gig it was a definite success! Loads of extra names for our mailing list & our free demo CDs went like hot cakes.
Other bands playing: Simeone, One Word Stories, Underdrone, The Effect, Earwig

Fri 25th November - George II, Luton
An acoustic set at a chilled out night at our current regular Luton haunt.
Ric & Rory were on top form ("we even rehearsed!") and knocked out a great 40 minute unplugged set, including
some numbers rarely performed outside of The Bull (see Upcoming Gigs), including Yours, as well as performances of acoustic versions of Clear Water, Tomorrow & Stanger, from our new album
Rory showed off his slide skills for a blinding finale of classic blues song Walkin' Blues.
All in all a good show, with support from another great local acoustic songstress.

Sat 23rd April - George II, Luton
What could be a better date to play a last-ish minute gig at The George than St George's Day?
Unfortunately, we were one man down as Rory couldn't make it (that's the problem with last minute gigs), although we did manage to
raise a reasonable number of audience members, who were all in good spirits - some literally(!)
We were on second, which is probably the best spot and we felt we played pretty well, blasting through 8 of our finest tunes - including a first live performance of
our newest track (and most likely contender for next single) The Silence.
As usual, the local crowd were supportive and cheered loudly whilst dancing around, beer glass in hand. We felt we played pretty well and got a good response but
the lack of sound check may have resulted in a less than perfect sound out-front. Nonetheless, a good night was had by all.
Other bands playing: Rusty G's & Fight The Wolf
