itsalttsa - Profile (original) (raw)

Maybe you were there in the beginning, when GCFA was just Matt and Emma on guitar and vocals. Maybe you were there when they started getting noticed, when Ruth brought her special brand of drumbeat shenanigans and Lawrence funked up the bassline. Maybe you were there the night GCFA introduced Robyn on viola and Raghnaid on triangle, for that sound which is so uniquely their own. Maybe you saw the first appearance of tortured keyboardist Jeff, the last, perfect ingredient for the sweetly melodic, darkly emotional cake that is Gondor Calls For Aid.

But whenever you were there you would have noticed two things:

  1. Gondor Calls For Aid is the best band in Christchurch, bar *none*.

  2. They cancel and postpone way too many gigs.

This is It Takes Such A Long Time To Say Anything (and who could forget the first time they heard that song?), a fan community for Gondor Calls For Aid. It's a place where you can post set lists, latest rumours about the band, pictures, press releases, media stories, MP3s, icons and so on. We can all share in the thoughtful, sweet experience that is GCFA!

The Rules:

- Let's not be haters, guys. Gondor Calls For Aid wouldn't want us fighting with each other, unlike *some* bands I could mention.

- If you're posting something really big, post it behind a cut.

- Let's keep it down on the crazy 'they're secretly ninjas' rumours, okay? I'm looking at you, necronlord. Yes, whenever the mysterious ninjas foil yet another crime spree, GCFA cancel or delay a gig. But the band's excuses for cancelling are always completely reasonable, and there's no need to think there's something sinister going on.
