just got home from town and bumped into my neighbour...who asked the gf and I if we were going to see him play tonight...a quick 'no...' and twenty seconds later we're guestlisted for tonight.

g.u.medicine
sin
wildhearts.

woot. drinks with two of my favourite bands and an evening of rocking out for free.

anyone going to the carling academy in newcastle tonight?

say hello if you are. I'm big, got big mutton chops, glasses and a mohawk.

will be with a skinny indie chick.

I hate you anyway.
You are a jammy ******* ******* **** **** ********.

I've been playing The Wildhearts new album non stop for the last week and its awesome.
Please thank Ginger for writing some of the best songs ever.

they were tighter than a gnats chuff last night...

was stood right in front of cj. much dancing and singalongs.

five minutes of the crowd singing don't worry about me before an (absolutely stunning) encore.

classics, hits, new tracks. pwnage.

surprised you didn't pop across to notts to see them t'other day... :/

as for the support, g u medicine were (as always) blinding...I know I've pimped them on here before but good old bluesy rock and roll...and the singer looks more and more like a psycho homeless dave grohl with each passing day.

and sign..er...

being kind, they were the worst imagineable, lowest common denominator, style before substance, sub-rasmus tripe of all time....

...made worse by the absolute ******* of a frontman.

"we're building...an army! are you with us? yay or nay?!"

cue silence...

..."I said are you with us?!"

a lone voice that seemed to eminate from near my head (not admitting anything...I'm generally not one for heckling...):

"NO. NOW **** OFF."

They should have to pay people to listen to that carp.

Aye it was terrible but jumping around with loads of teen goth chicks was great !!

And them Swedes can drink as well, i kept telling the lead singer he had a feather stuck in his hair

Stag · 10 May 2007 at 12:01

Teen goth chicks with low self esteem ***?

Pookie Bear · 10 May 2007 at 13:56

My brother and I almost went along to this show, but due to circumstances he couldn't make it. Didn't fancy a gig on my own though

penski · 10 May 2007 at 14:16

the gig was full of dmpoole-a-likes...

...quite a few leather jackets too.

................. hell, post bands names more often, this lot is good, very good

Sic · 10 May 2007 at 16:28

did they play Girlfriend Clothes? I'm afraid it doesn't count unless they played Girlfriend Clothes.

You've reminded me, I need to get hold of some AntiProduct.

Is Danny back with them now? It's been ages since I've seen them

basically, yeah.

the men looked worse

lots of nazareth tour shirts and so on...with the kind of patina that only decades of boil washes give.
