A monsoon-esque downpour greeted us as we made our way into Newsham Blyth on Friday night for our gig at The Willow Tree. We had good memories of the last time we played there in November 2012 in what was Carlos' second gig with us.
Tonight we were headlining with 2 other bands opening up. Kicking off the night was Black Bloc who we had personally got on the bill at the last minute. In their no nonsense punk rock assault they mixed a few original tracks with some classic covers including Alternative Ulster by Stiff Little Fingers and a brilliant version of So What by Anti Nowhere League, with no censorship or compromise with the uber offensive lyrical content :) Next up was High Tide from Spennymoor. Again blending a few original songs with a diversity of covers by acts such The Coral, Biffy Clyro and Chuck Berry.
This was firing us up nicely as a good crowd had built up and before we knew it, it was 10.10pm and our time now to wake up the natives with our own brand of punk rock melodica. And indeed we did. It was a great spirited almost boisterous atmosphere, but all good natured, as we went down a storm. Smiling sweaty faces roaring their approval of each track as we rifled through a slick 40 minute set. Again another successful nights work for the boys and because of this, leads me onto our next gig...
This Saturday August 16th we will be playing at The Flying Horse in Blyth. This will be a double setter. So we're gonna be playing 20 songs in 2 seperate 40 minute sets. We will also be debuting a brand new song DISGRACELAND and we cant wait for you all to get ya lugs around this one :) We will be punking it up at 9pm, so celebrate the new Premier League Football season kick off by getting yourselves along to the Flying Horse this Saturday. Its FREE Entry too :)
Celebrate your own decay!!!
Cheers
Peesh
