Turned up to see a good night of music at the Southern Blues Bar (and Attaca in particular), now that my headache's starting to clear, I'm remembering details.

First band (forgotten the name) ruled, a jazzy Incubus feel, tight sound, all good. Points should be given to the bassist, and the Sax player.

Second band (forgotten the name) didn't strike a chord with me (sorry about the pun), I'll say no more.

Third band (Melee, Malay, ?) kicked ass, bless that little bass trooper with his headless bass.

Fourth band (forgotten the name) also failed to strike a chord with me.

After that, the lights went out, literally. During the fourth band's set, power went out somehow - all that remained was a backup lightbulb (one single light to illuminate the entire room). After 10 minutes of 'What the f***', the guy hosting it says that power's gone down (No Shit.), and will be up in 20 minutes. Soon after this, the fourth band is playing the rest of their set acoustically - you can't knock them for not trying. Apparently someone started freestyle rapping to this, but I didn't see/hear it.

10 minutes later, the announcement is made that power is down in the building next door. Some dumb comment about them not paying the power bill. Things are getting messy here. The bar's not serving either - things are getting messier as the crowd gets sober.

20 minutes later, "The whole block's power is down. Meridian doesn't know what the hell's happened, but they're coming out to try fix it."

Soon after that, everyone is ejected - apparently the Meridian engineer couldn't find some variety of 'bolt' - don't ask me, maybe he was hoping to find a lightning bolt to power the f*cking block?

This should make things interesting for the next heat, looks like there'll be some heated opinions and claims of unfairness.

If there's anyone else that made it and is able to fill in/correct my account, feel free. :)
