So, Dorking Town, Dorktown, Big Fun Alfs Pleasuredome....whatever you call it, we played on Friday - not the hugest turn out ever, but it was a momentous occasion - we 'headlined' a show, well, not really - but we played last...this essentially meant we played to the least people, but fuck it, we didn't care!
Cheers Alf and the other bands (Brothers, really ace - imagine a heavier version of The Thermals playing garage punk with great almost streetpunk style vocals, Some Sort of Threat - some sort of treat! Nice acoustic folk stylings, like a young billy bragg or something, nice chap too. Dunc McDinkle did his thang, to much applause and awesome backing vocals from the crowd, infectious stuff!) Was a nice friendly bunch, and cheers for Jon Jess and Timmy for making the journey from Kingston on a cold March evening.
So, we saw the giant metal cock, to similar amusement and punnage as the last time, we played darts with some nice st.georges flags and union jacks as flights - hence, racist darts....PCwot?
Everyone who bought me a pint, thanks - I didn't have to play sober in the end. Ace. We also played for a million years (we need the practice), probably double our usual set-length, which jon pointed out is twice as long as we should have played for! Ah well, double the practice.
Oh yes, there will 99% be 11 only limited number DIY made bastion t-shirts ready for the tour. We hope.
I don't like Mondays. I don't need to tell you why.
Bowden, as ever.
