Saturday 20th April 2003

Well so we found out Captains new name for Monty.....

..... It's 'Minty wank', wot the fook is that all about?! Maybe he saw wot was going on in front of me. More than a Minty wank I'll tell ya!!! I've seen some stuff at Damned gigs but I've never seen two folk 'gettin it on' at the front with people jumpin about all over them. If that were you STOP! I've come to see the Damned, I can see that any night o the week....that reminds me where did I put that German phrase book?

Anyway a crackin Damned set with 4 'Damned Damned Damned' songs 'Neat Neat Neat', 'New Rose', 'See Her Tonite' and 'Born To Kill', which I personally haven't heard for a while. Great opening with 'Street Of Dreams' and into 'Disco Man'. Then batterin on through 'I Just Can't Be Happy Today', 'Amen', 'Song.com', 'Ignite', 'Democracy?', 'Would You Be So Hot', '13th Floor Vendetta', 'She', 'Eloise', 'Smash It Up' in no particular order. Seems like their puttin a few different songs in this time so watch out they might play a fave you haven't heard in a while.

The banter was also very funny with the Minty wank and Captain promoting certain lager brands.

Again it was great to meet a few MB'ers Rancid Tom, Neil, MoanerLisa and especially the good crack we had int Bar with Woody, Vicky and Kenny while I was still drinkin beer, sorry I went off a bit after starting on coke, 'Bastard stuff'.

And last but not least it was good to meet Pinch for the first time. I was the Home made t-shirt brigade, calm down, calm down.

Hope you all got home safely, and hope to see some of you again at forth coming evenings out.
