What a night!!
It was so great to see Forever Came Calling again, and to see Handguns for the first.
Fun story is the trains to London were once again terrible; apparently some party balloons were caught in some overhead wires, so instead of taking 40 minutes our train took twice as long, which meant we walked in as FCC were a song or two into their set. They were still great. PLEASE GO LISTEN TO THEM! They deserve so much more recognition. I've gone on about them a few times on my blog; there is reason for it.
After FCC, we were approached by their drummer. He was an eccentric fella, definitely had us laughing. Long story short it turned into a trip to find a cash machine with him. During this adventure he decided to tell us that the guitarist of Handguns was about to propose to his girlfriend, during the set we were about to see. I didn't think this at the time, but afterwards I couldn't help but find it hilarious that this guy had just told us something that was supposed to be a secret, and it may have got back to the other guys girlfriend if we had gone telling people and she may have overheard haha. He also asked us to come party with him afterwards, to which my awkward response was "WE DON'T DO PARTYS".
As we were aware of what was about to happen, we managed to film the whole thing. First time I have witnessed someone propose, it was cute!
Afterwards we had to go collect Dans record from behind the merch table, as drummer guy said he would keep it there for us until the end of the show. I was given the task of asking Joe (the singer of FCC) for it back. I don't do talking to people, so this was a challenge. I got awkward and forgot to ask for a picture, though we did have a little chat, I told him about our train and he apologised (perhaps he had something to do with the party balloons). I did however tell him we saw him before with Four Year Strong, which was pretty cool, it's like we already knew him. Definitely now friends for life.
Heres a rubbish 30 second clip of Forever Came Calling and the full proposal video from Handguns.
