Just because you cant remember something, does that mean it didn’t happen?
And just because a DJ in an Alex Lloyd shirt has anger management issues
does this mean he’s a Gaylord?
Stranger questions have been asked kids, and im lookin’ for answers.
For those of you who don’t know, the Drugs have a tour van ( if anyone has
an idea for a van name please email me) so recently we headed off into the
sun to play some shows in some of our favourite places.
We arrive @ the Espy in St Kilda for tonights show with Yidcore.
The crazyness that is Yidcore brings a great flavour to the Espy and they
rock very hard for guys in dresses and I think I even got cream bagel on my
face, very funny and a great opener for The Drugs, though what they did to
that poor sheep would make all you animal lib’s scream.
Tonights show went well from memory, at least I wasn’t sitting on a stool
with a plaster cast trying to play guitar.
Afterwards I think we all went out??? Not sure but if anyone has photos or
stories that may help us remember.
We wake early and head off for a game of cricket before our departure to
Kyneton. Now not being a big sportsman myself, I simply take these
opportunities to try and hurt other drug members. So for the best part of an
hour I tore my arm apart trying to put David Live’s glasses into his face,
Ian Baddlys face into David Lives ass, Mark Track’s quaid into a brick wall
& Harry Snows ankles into retirement.
Soon enough we arrive @ Kyneton and check the youth fests attractions,
rudely I cant remember anyone names but it was all very good with lots of
very talented bands rocking out with the Homewreckers being a standout.
Showtime, we all get into our little police uniforms and take the stage,
sometime between burger king & Was sport better in the Seventies? I manage
to cut several fingers on my guitar strings and spent the rest of the show
in a loss of blood affected state, I recall seeing Ian Baddley being beaten
by kids in the mosh???? And David Live tight rope walking on a crash
barrier?????? And some guy doin’ it with Madonna?????
We all leave Kyneton after having a ball & loads of laughs having spent
hours talking to loads of great kids who were having a top night , we hope
to return there very soon. Yes Banko, we’re leaving.
Next stop Shepparton.
Now, I love Shep, not sure if I get Shep Though, I know I wanna live in
Shep, I’d actually like to live at the Yahoo bar if I can? Please?
Always a favourite stop on the map we head to the Yahoo bar and catch up
with our friends and begin to drink and party the night away.
We all had a great time tonight, almost killing ourselves on the dancefloor
that was as slippery as an ice rink. We all hang around afterwards to hear
the DJ’s set and have a few drinks.
Tonight we’re playing @ the duke of windsor in Prahran, a great pub that’s
fast gaining a reputation as a great venue.
Tonight Harry, Tracksy & I head to another pub to see a band called Sarah
Sarah, this band stars the songwriting talent & skin thumping prowess of
none other then the Drugs stage assistant, Cable.
We hang as long as we can before we have to head back to the duke,
fortunately we escape before Skulker take the stage.
Back @ the Duke we get settled a have a few beers and watch the support band
who had plenty of potential.
The details of what follows during tonights show I cant reveal because of
legal reasons but if you email me with the heading “ DJ Lloydie Fucker” I’ll
fill you in , maybe.
After tonights show we head off in our van to see our friends 28 Days play a
secret unanounced show in melbourne.
Strangely we arrive at Melbourne Casino for tonights show for Monash Uni’s O
week.
Lots of good bands on tonight and it seems as if monash uni is ready to get
well pissed tonight on free drinks.
The Incredible Dead Goons play the best show I’ve seen them do tonight, I
think they’ve been hanging with us too long as they have developed a
pleasure for harming bandmates, a beer in shoe incident is a highlight.
With several Drugs feeling very under the weather we get tonights set going
with Burger King, a special appearance by our good mate Alex Lloyd gets the
crown pumping but somehow I feel he’ll never be the same again.
Just before Pre-shrunk head on stage I notice one of them trying to push my
amp over, feeling a sudden surge of rage I grab a guitar and smash it over
his head, gottagetoutofthaway I say before realising it was his bass amp,
sheepishly I apologise as I flee from the scene. I hope the cut on your head
is O.K dude.
They play a fuckin great set anyway and seem to have more toys every time
and they certainly rocked all the pissed students to their core.
Intoxicated, Tired, Food Poisoned, Hurt, Dirty, Hungry, all five members of
the Drugs pride head back to our van for the long trip home.
To everyone who had a drink with us, watch us play, had a laugh, or told us
to fuck off. Thanks & we’ll see you next time.
