Thank goodness for the internet and its myriad of potential for dragging details lost from your rubbish brain, and showing you what actually happened in your life when you can't remember.

This recording is from the Elohymn, Sucioperro and Trojan Horse gig. Roadhouse were one of the first venues in Manchester (I think) to offer a service where they'd record a gig for you in-house then mix it and send you a nice live thing to do whatever you wanted with, or they'd send you the stems and you could mix it. I *think* this was one of those.

Again Manchestermusic.co.uk is our friend here, with a review from Jon Ashley. Apparently I (Nick) broke a string mid-song and decided to change it whilst the song was still going.

"As the drains and service pipes of Manchester’s streets are dug up in the vicinity of the city's finest underground club, I marvel once again at the mighty sound that emanates from the fairly diminutive and often unassuming TROJAN HORSE. I've tasted their smartly twisted intelligent indie prog on more than a few occasions and with each crescendo fuelled display, they seem denser and more dangerous without losing an ounce of charm. As a string snaps they refuse to let it delay the next song "Laces Are Racist". This mingles their harmonic edge with a heavy gouging thunder, summoned by a guitar and ingeniously simple keyboards. And so the string is changed DURING the song without a fluster – it all adds to their impeccably exciting outlook. This set also has the real potential to inform an album proper. This quartet are on the cusp of something, as they leave you with a taste for yet more of their innovative dynamics and almost immortal hooks."
