SUBHUMANS + TINY ELVIS show @ Invention Arts Centre, Bath
Last night I'd had enough...fuck it I needed to go out. So I shamefully asked for a loan of £20 and went to this gig...my mates last gig under the name Tiny Elvis. Because they are signing to....
FAT WRECK
...but as their old record label Golf wont let them go and sign to another label just like that (contracts eh!), they have to split up and reform under a new name! Which I think is 7 Crowns or something....hmmm I prefer the old name. Anyway, they've worked really had, touring etc and its so cool as I remember when they played San Francisco last year, Liam told me Fat Wreck had approached them....and now Fat Mike wants them. yay. And the good thing is they're pretty different sounding to all the other bands on that label. :)
The night went as follows...:
-Police everywhere.
-Crowd of these fucking drunk hippy, dirty, traveller gypsy guys outside the venue - one is on the floor, drunk off his face. The police are just standing around trying to move them on/arrest them/ fuck knows.
-Get scared...loads of people. Im on my own.
- Talk to Rob and Scott. Go all shy and gay.
- Liam attacks me from behind and gives me a big hug and....feel better.
- Find out from Liam that a couple of the hippies outside tried to mug the band to get into the gig! haha...
- Have THE longest conversation with Ben...literally like an hour.
- HOTTEST PLACE EVER. Everyone is dying of the heat.
- Old, crusty idiot punk guys standing behind me, heckle TE the whole time
"Your not really punk, get off!"
"Fuck off your shit!"
Hmmm....one of them is 45yrs old and has LIBERTY SPIKES for fucks sake! Obviously in need of a style challenge.
- Rob looks like he's on coke...or maybe he just loves drumming
- After TE play, end up standing NEXT to idiot punk old guys for half an hour. They get VERY impressed with my musical punk knowledge....shocked even.
"Fucking hell she knows the Bad Brains!"
"Not bad for a young 'un!".
I ask Liberty spikes man how long it took to do his hair, he tells me 27yrs. haha.
- One of them goes into detail of his small penis. ewww. and then...
old punk man: "I fuck goats...does that turn you on?"
Me: "...uh...try another animal".
- Andy fones me. Thank god.
- legendary punk band Subhumans play, and despite being 75yrs old, they still kick it out
- LOADS of crusty, old punks mosh.
- There is at least one Nazi punk
- Drink too much vodka....
- TOO FUCKING HOT....everyone is sweating like fuck.
- Sweat so much, it DRIPS down my face. EWWW
- Lots of fashionable 'punk' girls with their hot boyfriends. GRRR
- a couple American punk girls
- An ugly guy from MySpace is wearing white pants and his fat ass is hanging out of his jeans. I feel the need to text Lora, as Im so grossed out haha.
- Go outside to get air...see Gen. Dont think she hates me anymore, which is cool.
- Run out of money....feel stupid drunk
Good night in all!! And I didnt have a hangover today...yay! And oh how I laughed at the narrow minded crowd of crusty, "we were there the first time around" punk people. They are so fucking unbelievably stuck in a time warp with no desire to move on and embrace stuff.
Get over it.
