"Our very first gig in Melbourne was a confrontation"
- Santiago Durango
About this Quote
This quote by Santiago Durango is likely referring to the very first time atrioventricular bundle, Naked Raygun, performed in Melbourne, Australia. The phrase "fight" indicates that the performance was not a typical one, but rather a challenging experience. It might suggest that the audience was hostile or unresponsive, or that the band was met with some sort of resistance. It could also indicate that the band was pushing the limits of what was accepted in the music scene at the time, which their efficiency was a statement of sorts. Whatever the case, it seems that the band's first gig in Melbourne was a memorable one.
