betamax

im there on saturday for Layo and Bushwacka so ill see if I can pick one up yo!

No I mean bands that are amaturishly shit at what they do. Whether it rock/indie/punk whatever. Just poor. Whether its my taste or not. Example: I generally detest all forms of metal and rock and so sensibly avoid it, but if I accidentally saw a metal band that was really very good, Id recognise that fact (even if I was still laughing at the demonic whisky drinking lyrics and guitar neck wanking). Id actually say (hypothetically of course) ''not my bag but shit hot at what they do'' if that ever happened... apparently all bands are officially ace now anyway

wowee! sounds like things have taken a huge turn for the better to be honest its about three months since Ive been to a gig (very skint and very busy) so maybe Ive missed out on the revival so can we safely say that bands and promoters are all very happy about how well their gigs are supported? Yaaaaay!!!!! So can they pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease never mention it again! No more sob stories about how tough it is being a venue owner/promoter/band mamber.....well thank fuck for that! hooray! the last 10 years of bleakness all swept away in a thread! genuinely hope its true, first night in the town for ages for me this friday (and saturday wowee!) so I suppose ill find out soon enough. Im exited now...really!

hmmm Friday looks promising

Indeed Arkade rule Cloud should forget about trying to be smart about stuff he knows nothing about Anyone know when are the GN line ups get confirmed?

me too ooh

I was there, probably just out of shot, although i didnt look too different to what i do now. It was an incredible thing that they came here and one of the cities most awesome gigs ever. I also saw em play in Birmingham quite a few years before that and Poison Ivy was only wearing transparent baby doll underwear and no pants. I basically just stared at her fanny for the whole set. It was the first fanny (that wasnt in a magazine) Id ever seen (I was only about 13 or something). Ive never been the same since. Lux also vomitted on me. They played The Crusher as the opening tune. RAAAAAAPE!!!! I shat myself. loads of people got kicked in by the LEGION OF THE CRAMPED. Cool. I miss violence at gigs. Agree they were in decline from an album perspective at the time, but waht a hellish live band......

damn shame also makes me get miserable and start missing Peelie again

I also find our sessions where we shout random filth and shit at each other for about an hour with the only criteria being ''say awful stuff that you cant actually use in a song'' followed by quickly writing down all the really bad bits. Definately the most amusing way of being creative.

They were actually very shit. Im glad theyve gone away.

both epic! *rummages in vinyl archives*

get in! Im there:love:

no I dont think so, Real Shocks tried that and got told to bugger off fair enough

Im having a similar revival of those two. A sound thats still way ahead of its time. Reminds me of feeling overly happy and de-hydrated in the Hoochi on Windmill Brae. Now Moshulu.
