Amateur Takes Control has come a long way since we first started out. It's been 2 years exactly since our first show. I can still remember our first show, organized by our lovely friend Stacy. Heider was on drums, Steve on bass, Jem and I on guitar. That was our first and only show planned cause I never thought people would actually like the music that I wrote. After that show, more people called us for shows and In that month alone, we played 7 shows. That month was crazy for ATC.
Now, things are a little bit different, I guess. In 2008, the amount of shows we played that paid us, not produced by me (a lot of our shows are produced by me), could be counted with one hand. And we're still expecting a payment from one organizer from a show we played in May (which apparently is heavily sponsored). Though we don't play shows very often, we're content with what we've achieved so far. Two years is a short time and there's definitely more stuff that's gonna happen with the band.
To the people who have been there since we started out, we truly thank you for your support.
On to other news -
Our label, KittyWu Records has done it again! This time, they're bringing Mogwai down! Please support KittyWu by coming to the show. I watched Mogwai back in 2006 when I was only familiar with a few of their songs but their show CHANGED MY LIFE. If you don't believe me, you have to watch them.

Also, our friends from I Am David Sparkle will be heading to Texas in March for SXSW! We're really happy for them. IADS will be having a fundraiser show on the 31st January at Home Club to fund their trip to Texas. More details when I get them. In the meantime, if i'm not wrong, the line up will include A.U.M, MUON, The Great Spy Experiment, Plainsunset, 41 (KL), Dear Arson, A Band Named Power, ATC and of course I Am David Sparkle.
I swear to God, that is one of the best lineups I have ever seen for a long time.
That should be it for now.
Thank you, Goodnight.
