Some parties are forgotten ten minutes after you leave the venue and others stay long in the memory (not always for the right reasons, mind you). I've got a very strong memory of this. It was when we were still setting up Twisted America and Twisted UK. I'd recently moved back to London from New York to set up the label there. We did a few launch parties, one at Bagleys with Oscar G, Tom Stephan, Rob Di Stefano and me playing and we did this one, which included the hilarious Honey 'Helloooo' Dijon, Tom Stephan, Rob Di Stefano and myself.

It wasn't a great party, I don't think, but we had a brilliant time in Cologne, stayed up all night assisted by all kinds of different methods and just made it on to the flight back to Blighty scarcely in one piece. One of our number ended in rehab not long after. Thankfully we all lived to tell the tale.

This was transferred from a cassette copy so the audio might not be amazing quality (though not as bad as I feared). I think there's another part to this on a cassette somewhere,which I'll dub when I get a free hour.
