The Higher State

The Higher State

Thanks if you just tried to add the band The Higher State to the database, but you didn't enter venue info, or you did and I didn't recognise it. Done a bit of a search, dirtywaterclub.com says the band are there on the 9th of December. This is a good venue, I think I saw The Darkness there, not too local for me these days though. They also add:

After seven years in the wilderness, former member of the Mystreated, Marty Ratcliffe, returns with a new band! These guys give you a totally authentic, retro if you must, sixties garage band sound. These guys and a gal will have you trippin' all the way back to San Francisco's Fillmore Ballroom in late '66. A lovely West Coast, Byrdsy jangle played like you think you're truly listening to a "Back from the Grave" LP!

This is part of my website The 'Gerald that I built in a fury of enthusiasm when I first came to Folkestone in approximately '04. I'd been a regular visitor for a few years before that so I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get now. The site used to be a lot more dynamic with a gig calendar and voting for best venues and things, and I know it was a handy reference for others who were thinking of moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only a couple of miles) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as Folkestone itself is becoming the exciting place we knew it was just about to. I am not Gerald BTW, this comes from a pretend newspaper in an episode of Brasseye or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are GRATE aren't they? Do get in touch if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
