I ventured over to Preston on Monday night to catch a couple of bands in action, namely Business Owls and I Piñata, the former being 1/2 of Milk and the latter just being generally all round bad-ass.

The whole night was really low key, just basically friends and stuff coming out to see their mates make a fool of themselves on stage and to hear some good music. Business Owls played first and did their best to warm things up which to be honest didn’t take much as the room was like an oven to begin with. Despite a few technical issues and shit they still rocked hard and definitely seemed to have fun doing so.

Nick Ainsworth followed next, whose set would probably have been more enjoyable if his vocals had been clearer, and after that some Preston locals took to the stage with strange instruments and weird antics.

The last act of the night was I Piñata, but unfortunately by this point most everyone who wasn’t a friend of the band had left which was a real shame as these guys fucking rock. Regardless, they put on a decent (if short) set with the boys from Business Owls and Nick Ainsworth joining them on stage for the last couple of songs to liven things up a bit.

I snapped a few photos which are here, and all in all had an ace night.
