*These are bands that my band supported of which they were mainly shit, I saw Spacemen 3 in about 1987 and they were quite good but then when we supported them they were so boring, Inspiral Carpets were wankers except that tosser out of Oasis who was the roadie was the only one who spoke to us, Mudhoney were very nice to us and invited us to Manchester with them.

There are a load more bands but they keep flashing into my head and then I forget again, why is it I can remember the shite ones more than the good ones.

The only band I am going to see is at the end of this month and it's The Buff Medways last ever gig in London before they are reformed into Billy Childish and the Musicians of the British Empire.

Many many and many more, no point in listing them here.

But last sunday I saw Witch Hunt (us) for the first time live and they were good.

Quote:Many many and many more, no point in listing them here.

Same ove here.

Tonight im going to see "The Explosion". Bad thing: They are opener for AFI
Tomorrow i'm gonna see Heideroosjes \ O_o/

Celebrity Skin!

WOW is that a blast from the past. Those guys were awesome. They put on a great show.

Fartbone, do you have any of their records?

I recall they did a funny cover of ABBA's S.O.S.

"When you're gone,
How can I even try to go on?

When you're gone,
SUICIDE!
How can I carry on?"

I just put a request up to cover my ass. I misplaced the two discs (SOS EP and Good clean fun) during my move last year to my new pad. Both scracthy scratchy now which sucks.

Saw them about 5 times. The best time was at Hollywood High School. The bill was Celebrity Skin, The Dickies, Green Jello, No Doubt and Tiny Tim. That's where I met pat smear and don bolles for the first time.

They recently had a reunion show last year before Don did that New Germs thing. Somebody put some live footage on you tube. check it out.

That sounds like a great show.

The next big one I have planned is that Riot Fest thing

http://www.myspace.com/riotfest2005

Though I'm definitely going to see TV on the Radio next week, and Art Brut also.

So i was at this concerts yesterday (see above).

Geez! How can a band get so crappy. I really loved explosion. But the first 3 songs long i didnt knew if it was aftually the band i love from "flash flash flash".
Then they played my fa songs and then 10 more frappy songs.

Geez they sucked sooo badly (not as badly as this first band, which was really terrible).


So i was pretty pissed and thought - shit i still have to stay thru afi..

And what should i say. They were fucking great. Bigst surprise ever. Even the new crappy songs totally rocked.

Too many to remember....

Lots of early gigs tho..

Clash at Guildford civic hall supported by the coventry automotives....(later to be the specials)
Buzzcocks at Guildford Civic.... supported by Joy Division

Got thrown out of Dead Kennedys at the Lyceum for letting a fire extinguisher off over the Anti Nowhere League! Spent the rest of the evening outside drinking beer with Dave from D.O.A. !

Saw The Cure at a tiny town hall in Carshalton!

The Damned at the Greyhound in Croydon... the night the floor started to give way!

Every King Kurt gig...they were mental!

mostly its a blur tho!

Going to see the Dictators, sic F**ks and the bully at CBGBs last friday night ever, 10/13.

Me and a few friends are going to the Rise Against show on the 4th in Caliofornia, and then a Leftover Crack show on the 5th in California.
