They had been in the ”bubble” for 24 hours now and for the most part, everything appeared to be going according to plan. Quan strummed a slow but chunky four chord rhythm which the drummer Pete followed with a precise kick beat. After three hours, the song was growing on me. I found myself tapping my feet and humming the vocal melody about the ”Devil with a thousand eyes.”

People passed by, some bemused and some excited. I caught snippets of conversations … ”what a sell out” … ”this is the best thing ever!” …. ”who likes regurgitator?” … ”where’s the toilet?”.
