UV RACE @ Doldrums - 28th November 2009

getting some reprive from the cop with the half-sleeve....

Ventured into the CBD and a swealtering warehouse-type-party/gig. Bands on the night were BEAUTIFUL, Jack from Kiosk and Circle Pit's new band, and they sounded.... well, new, and like they should swap the drum machine for a real drummer.... hell, even a one-armed drummer. BEAUTIFUL's songs were pretty dark shoe-punk or something, no photos though as i was too busy trying to unnattach my testicles from my asshole (100 people in a small room, with bands playing, on a hot Syndey night equals sweat... and stickyness... anyhow....).

After BEAUTIFUL came WHORES, who have been doing the rounds for a while now. They arn't really good or original or anything, but i love em. Trashy rock-n-roll/country with drunk-style singing. They have enough money, or art-school contacts, to have made a video, which will explain there style much better than my ramblings, check 'Head on a Stick' by WHORES below:

Next to brave the heat was punk-band who seem to really, really like The Replacements, BED WETTING BAD BOYS, and this is were the photos start, sorry......

Tonight was the 2nd time i had seen UV RACE, and they did not dissapoint. Easily the best punk band in Australia at the moment.... in my opinion.

...as is usually the case at these gigs, the crowd was full of lames:

That dude is wearing a 1994 Shaq jersey!

I have the very same jersey, although it is small as fuck because I bought it when I was 10 or whatever.

Basically this means I like this band, regardless of what their music is like.
