Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
From 2007 to 2009, Nil Carborundum were showing their faces in venues fairly regularly, 99% of the time in Leeds but with the occasional gig booked elsewhere around Yorkshire. It's a shame we had to take a break because gigging is always a great experience. People have told us we are the tightest backing-track band they have heard, and we were once applauded during soundcheck with people asking bewildered how we keep in time! But as we usually only play with pre-arranged backing-tracks from a laptop, I'd have to say my favourite gig was when we had a live drummer when we supported Hecate Enthroned. He was doing us a favour for the one gig, but it's a shame he couldn't stay with us, good drummers are very busy people!
