Steve Rinaldi chose the Roadrunner club night at the Bullingdon Arms in Oxford to debut his new song 'Pick Me Up, Put Me Down'. As the whole of the 'What's It All About?' album was recorded before Rinaldi Sings made their live debut, this was the first original composition to enter the set in advance of its recording. The band went onstage just after midnight, following a complete running of the film 'Barbarella' as a backdrop to the DJ sets.
