If you pan your eyes around the room during the gig, 50% are just there for the fear of missing out on the campus gossip the next day. Chances are 90% that they fuck off after the band's played too. It's just gets boring but'll never stop I s'pose.
Through doing the sound on a lot of shit indy nights the last few years around london, i can't even being to explain how accurate that story is. You can instantly tell when a band is going to be full of arse holes, and they will always ALWAYS sound boring and crap. I don't mind a bit of ego if you pull a crowd of 300 people and sound good at what you do, but when you draw a crowd of... essentially a man and his dog, how dare you pratt about for hours during soundcheck, acting like you are good... twats!
anyway...
i like how overly gay that youtube vid is, its beyond belief, it's like i am there is spirit. Good work HOD and Seregon (i am wearing my Seregon t-shirt as we speak, its possibly my favourite t-shirt to sleep in... yeah i'm so UKThrash that i wear UKThrash PJs!).
