What happens when a band’s name is inspired by a random book selection? Join me, Stephen, as I unveil the amusing transformation of our band’s identity, from "Lasers to Sun" to the quirky "Octagon Temple." Inspired by our bass player's wife's national trust heritage book randomness, this name oddly perfectly encapsulates our unique sound and style.
Experience the thrill and chaos of our debut performance at the Earl of Chester in Crewe, a gig secured through our guitarist Steve's connections. Laugh along with our journey and the camaraderie that makes performing live an exhilarating experience for both band members and our audience.

Feel the pulse of live music as I recount the mix of nerves and excitement that colored our first gig. From the challenges of memorizing lyrics to the spontaneous encore of a Nickelback song, every moment was an adventure. Discover how we navigated setlist adjustments, speaker placements, and the joys of audience interaction that made our performance unforgettable. Revel in the emotional reward of being a frontman, as I share the fulfillment and unforgettable memories of living the dream of entertaining. If you’re looking for a story of passion, music, and brotherhood, this episode is sure to entertain and inspire.
