hey cunts, heres a brief low down on our destruction of the uk april 2005!
Friday April 1st Path tavern Kircaldy
a rough first night for everyone I think, low turn out too doesnt help to boost morale but hey you gotta play every show likes its your last! Stay at jacko's and stay up far to late with him watching Real Mckenzies dvd's.
Saturday April 2nd some pub Middlesborough
yeah great venue and great crowd one of my fave gigs of the tour, realy got into it and I cant describe my joy at finding an enormous inflateable bannana!
Sunday April 3rd Indian Queen Boston
well I though a lot more would go down here considering the reputation but the gig wasn't that bad. I dressed as the Pope and assaulted the crowd with the giant bannana. We sleep in the pub. i get so stoned i think I'm on a spaceship and Dave 'thurisaz' pisses himself in his sleeping bag. Meanwhile stephan drives the van unisured back the promoters with those who want a quiet night, they get stopped by the cops but a very drunk Marv gadgie manages to talk them out of any trouble!
Monday April 4th grovsenor london
we get a ferry across the thames to get the venue its quite fun! gig is pretty good loads of crusties and hardcore folk and we meet some nice people. stay at a squated mansion and have to pay £16 to park outside for 4 hours! Janne from unkind gets the hitler moustach treatment while he sleeps, washes it of imidiately after he wakes up and tries to pretend like nothing is wrong!
Tuesday April 5th King Alfred Southampton
weird place, very small and i can imagine it could kick off bigstyle on a busy night but tonight its prey quiet. we play fine but one crusty who stands with his arms folded staring at me the whole time we play realy pisses me off. we all stay in a very small house I slep where the cats litter tray was and get pissed on by said feline for my troubles.
wednesday april 6th the junction Bristol
great gig, everyone playes a blinder ben filthpact gets his head cut open by dave swinging his mike!! Some pissed old guy keeps asking for Status Quo, Queen and Linol Rtchie!! Loads of dancing and nice people. I have a terrible night with the flu sweating and shaking and i think Im never gonna get better, it sucks. the guy we stay with graham makes us an awsome brekkie and he's heard of and likes gama bomb - a man of impecible taste!
thursday april 7th The Fenton leeds
well I thought bristol was good but leeds kicked its ass! people were going ape for us and we sold loads of 7"s and cd's fucking rocking! after we played i was tottaly wiped and had to sit at the back of the hall. during unkinds set I would occasionaly stand up and see people leaping and faling and generaly going nuts! We stay at Sned from flat earth's gaff its nice and quiet and makes a nice change!
friday april 8th voodoo lounge Dublin
after a very delayed ferry (5 hours or so!) we arrive and pretty much hit the stage running! My voice is gone but we stil get a good crowd reaction, just wish i coulda played better
Filthpact are especialy good tonight gues its all the resting they got! (their fery wasn't delayed!) After the gig we go to a party house I crawl under a table close my eyes and hope for the best.
saturday 9th April front page belfast
fucking hell! this night was um, crazy?!? I have my clothes torn from me while I'm singing the crowd is going nuts for us its realy a great gig. he crowd are trying their best to freak us out but i think i successfully weird them out by dipping my cock in my guiness then drinking it! Unkind's merch guy dressed up as a leprechan and its scarily normal looking ha ha!
sunday 10th April Mercat edinburgh
its pretty quiet when we go on people seem into it, maybe edinburgh has seen us too many ties? maybe i'm burned out from the tour? A girl comes up and thanks us for playing'backpackcore' cause its her favourite! not only do we have a fan but they also have a fave song! 'ego swells'! that made the whole tour for me right there and then. A bunch of pissed up footbal hooligans try to start shit while filthpact play but nothing kicks off. go back to crust house for a few beers then its off to bed!
and thats that realy! we take unkind to the air port the next day then we go see Mill a h-Uile Rud at the 13th note cafe, the van breaks down on the way back from that and so the end of the tour is marked!!! Roll on september, Europe doesn't know whats coming!
