PENNYWISE: leeds fest 2003: one of first punk bands i got into and they played a blinder of a set TEARJERK, old george Goole : A fuckin ace venue in the fastest rising punk scene in the UK...only holds like 60 people but everyone loved it...ended with their new, classic song "hope against hope" with everyone in crowd holding baz up while he sang STRIKEOUT: boston. the indian queen: Already one of most established punk scenes....such an amazing gig with circle pits, wall of deaths and human pyramids REAL MCKENZIES: Aberdeen, dr drakes...hadnt been to a gig with such a good atmosphere in the crowd since the anti-war gig mentioned above, no one was there to look macho in the pit, it was just bout havin a good time and the band were great SEVERED HEAD OF STATE: Aberdeen, dr drakes KING PRAWN: Hull, Welly Club ACT OF VIOLENCE: Scarborough, murrays : Ok this more metal...in your sick of it all meets hatebreed kinda way but still ace, vocalist had a broken foot and was jumping off tables BREHVNEZ, aberdeen, dr drakes: A great band, shame they split FREAKS UNION, hull, welly club (again)
