Beer and sets and chips and gravy!

Having met Les “BattersHisWifey” Battersby off of TV’s “Coronation Shit” , the lads were hungry for more. Meeting slightly famous people is a highlight of any gig in pubs in rural Northumberland…….” so my mate reckons you were on TV, can I get a photo to show my mother?” – “yeah sure!” – “cheers, Ive not seen your show but I saw you were in the papers for trying to kill your wife, smile” (one of sav’s more subtle coversations with TV personalities – but who could forget the Jamie Oliver incident ” Hey your Jamie Oliver, you fat tongued, fish lipped, lispy cockny twat – I fucking love turkey twizzlers).

So what could be better than playing with Marsielle – featuring guitarist …….. wait for it ………. Neil ” this is Art Attack” Buchannen. This September 30th at Hyem (not Hymen Sav) in Newcastle. PVA glue and fairy liquid bottles at the ready as we “try it ourselves” .

Shaggy, our guitar toting frontman, has recently been sponsored by vintage guitars. Whenever he plays on YouTube it will be on a Vintage. Flinty also plays vintage, not the brand though, he’s just is vintage. I believe he got his guitar as a teen, which puts it in the mid 1930′s I believe. I think he bought the bands fun bus then too. Daz must be vintage too seeing as they stopped making Popeye cartoons years ago. His Bluto character was in the show for a while and even then he was in his late 30′s. Do the maths! Sav is a drummer, he’s not sure what he plays, he’s not even sure he is a drummer and neither are the band! But his antics are classic drummer. If anyone in the band is likely to throw a tv or someone from tv out the window, it’s Sav – and that is vintage rock n roll drummer!

So it’s the Blyth and Tynes last weekend coming up. A musical gorge of all things music in one venue over four days. Culminating with Stolen Tom – an honour to say the least – and the lads are putting on a hell of a show. Flinty was in the lock up ordering a black mamba yesterday! Them snakes are dangerous! I can only assume the Vasaline Shaggy ordered at the same time was for making the dance floor slippy! Them guys, there always sneaking off to the lock up for meetings and coming up with mad ideas!! Not sure the rubber body suits were a good idea for the band but it was nice of them both for trying them out first when I walked in on them the other day.
Blyth won’t ever be the same again! Ever !
