About Change to the East’s live activity Stuart Wood concedes:
‘It was actually more like a musical version of a social club that members joined, played for a bit and moved on. We didn't actually gig that much, but the infamous rehearsal parties, twice weekly, were packed with a right old assortment of people.’
Nonetheless, packed venues seem to be a constant feature during the band’s gigs.
From Garden Party 5, February 1984:
‘Change to the East have only played a handful of gigs but despite having no singles or tapes out and no radio exposure, they have pulled big crowds. How has this happened?
Neil [Tilly, the band’s manager, editor of Breakout Magazine and promoter of Liverpool groups at the Venue]: Probably just word of mouth, there was loads of people at the first System gig and they’ve probably told all their friends about it.
Woody: Even when we played Tom Hall’s Tavern the place was packed.
Dave [Ball, vocals]: We had a few good plugs in the press (eg. The Echo) so that helps as well.
Neil: Of all the bands put on at the Venue, Change to the East pulled the biggest crowd for a local group and it was the same as the System. The manager of the System was flabbergasted, in fact the bars ran out of beer that night.’
From Breakout Magazine, July 1984:
‘Let’s not forget that these four lads play music and good music at that. The band last played Liverpool on June 6, which was the first time I saw them. I was suitably impressed. A very tight and varying set of songs. From the funky On the Floor to the sixties influenced Way of Life. I was not the only one wh enjoyed the performance. The packed club showed their appreciation and a major record company, down for the evening, immediately booked them into Amazon Studios for a couple of days.
The future looks bright for Change to the East and it’s difficult to imagine the band were formed just over a year ago, however, it’s true to say that they have had a couple of line up changes.’
