I had my first gig with my new head a JET CITY AMPLIFICATION JCA20H all valve 20 watt head.
The gig on Monday was a great night. We had been due to be first on of three or four depending what poster you read, but in the end we were main support. Main support at The Underworld ain't bad for gig number 3!
The guys from NINJA GUN were great, and I borrowed a cool old Marshall 1960A to run the head through from them. It was an unusual night for us though because we played as a four piece with just one guitar. Stevi couldn't make this one so Mr Sober Dave took over on bass for the show. I did feel a little exposed being on a decent sized stage with no rhythm guitar to hide being, but I soon got over that when we started playing.
Any how, back to the new amp :-)
This is it, the JCA20H, it looks great and has a blue light on the front.
Plenty loud enough to gig with and at about 10kgs light enough to get places without having to spent the next day in bed. That really is a big plus for me, I've always been quite happy with my MARSHALL TSL601 combo but at about 30 kgs it's just to big for me to get around, so I started looking for something lighter and I found this! It's still a good size, I wouldn't describe it as a Mini-head in the Orange Tiny Terror style, but it's probably 2/3 the size of my old TSL60 but a lot lighter.
But what does it sound like??
Here's a youtube video I put together from a few of my favourite solos from the gig so you can here what it sounds like and marvel at the little blue light!
I'm looking forward to a lot more gigs with this behind me!

Playing at THE UNDERWORLD in CAMDEN 29/03/10 and some pics from Oxford
First two gigs have gone really well.
Next one is is at THE UNDERWORLD in Camden. I've played there a couple of times, but not since 2003.
Last Time was supporting SHEEP ON DRUGS with DUST:RETOX. That show was a bit of a drunken shambles. A good night of glitter covered shirtless fun I guess even if a bit too much tequila was involved and Paulo the guy controlling the samples fucked up literally every time. That was a fun night but I really think THE SOHO COBRAS show is going to be a lot better!
It's also going to be my first gig my my new amp, so I'm looking forward to trying out the JCA20H. More on the new amp though when I can get some video shot.
We're playing on Monday 29th March with NINJA GUN, I think we're on first so get there early.
Tickets available at:
I've also found some cool pics from the gig last Friday in Oxford. There a few examples below or you can check out the whole gallery at Pelicoophotography.com.
