************************************************************************************** 16.12.05 PRIVATE PARTY - Emma's birthday Doo!!! 21 Grams + The Filth N The Fury + Fat Alligator - The Torbothie Inn, Charles St, Shotts Private party for the crazy horseychikadee herself EMMA (how kool is it that you get a name made from 2 guitar chords ? Eminor and A !) anyway.... a private function destined to sail way into unmarked depths featuring a star spangled...well spangled .... ! line up of freaks and various buffets. Bands we can remember are: um... JACK from WIDE-AWAKE (played a solo track), the mighty fat-alligator (LETS ALL START A RIOT !), 21GRAMS and THE FILTH AND THE FURY (Pistols cover band). Memories include : bottles of wine strewn and laid forefront on tabletops, cheese snack fighting sticks, extreme cheese stick fu fighting moves, food stealin, food fighting, random dance movementos, very tall ladies ?!!!., guitars that implode, rivum sections that actually play the unrehearsed move of the valkyries and a stonkin fun old time. Its how to live live of the edge long after you've ever wanted to leave and retire with slippers and smoking pipe intact....if you have no idea why I rant here it is : "!GRAMS get to play 4 new tracks and manage (just ) to do so...simply cos their equipment is cursed. 21GRAMS - Rough setlist included : TAKE IT OFF (complete with 25 minute - well that's how it seemed - rivum track backing to complement the exorcism of geetar), FREAKY FRIENDS, RATS, LIGHTSABRE COCKSUCKING BLUES, VIDEO KILLED THE RADIO STAR and CRAZY HORSES. Co-incidentally if any guitar manufacturers out there want to endorse a freak with a habit of breaking guitar strings (unintentionally) please get in touch asap - we need the funds and more importantly the strings........ Good fun, good night and Happy birthday Emma.
************************************************************************************** 29.10.05 HALLOWEEN - The Filth and the Fury , 21 Grams + others (FANCY DRESS !!)- The Torbothie Inn, Charles St, Shotts The Halloween night from hell....(see the pictures page !)... was a top gig, all bands again rocked -- its only when the first band on plays mainly G N Roses (buns n toasties) and stairway to heaven that you get the feel for the entire nights madness can only surpass all levels of medication that you may have ingested beforehand. To this end a covers band (sorry guys n gals forgot yer monicka !) started, the 21grams "middled" and the mighty FILTH AND THE FURY pistols cover band ended . Great fun, great new dances, entirely new parrot friends, and the usual SHOTTS fanatical welcome ensued. Good gig, good venue, good food, good pints, great abandoned mines scenery and baltic weather, spoke to freaks from Glasgow wide and far and rattled a few noggins in between watching santas 7 neds form a foreign legion line to steal the locals plant and garden implements....bizareee is only scratching the surface of description for this place. Oh and, Top costumes from just about everyone....
************************************************************************************** 28.10.05 21 Grams, um......um.....um....um....um.........................................................um..... others - Starka, Motherwell JESUS H CRISPS...have we just played 4 gigs in lightspace nanoseconds ?.....how come gaar gets to do pan gigs and jimbo and marko do macwildhearts gigs in between all this and patton....um.....pimps himself ?...raw deal I hear the shouts already...anyway apparently we played at halloween in starka. Wow - news just in - this we did -- only I can't remember as we fast approach the christbirthday thing...(xmash !) time seems to pass and loop like a denzien bill gates violating a stoat in static grease....anyway... the 21grams did a gig at stark, used lots of "bang bangs" and many other things...none of us can remember it -- i dunno -- senile dementia rocks when you get yer socks on..
************************************************************************************** 04.10.05 21Grams, Hedspace, Sheepdug, The MacWildhearts and Duvet - The last night of bands at Harleys, Hamilton ..... ever !!!!!!!!!!! Who ever in their right mind(s) could ever envisage a 4 or 5 band line up - pull it all together at the last minute in a few in-house house rehearsals - jamm it all into the space of 4 hours of a gig - DVD the whole thing and close a long term gig pub that was the proverbial minceola long before john the baptist ever walked the planet.....um......who you may ask !!!? is it a burd ? is it a plane ? nope its the JIMBO-BIG-MAC-HONKA-FEST-2005 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. bands playing on this night (the last ever (if you didn't know already !) at Harleys Bar in Hamilton included the following : SHEEPDUG, DUVET, 21GRAMS, HEDSPACE and THE Michty MACWILDHEARTS (in no particular order). Twas a fitting end to a pub with management who really should have been put "oot wae the bins" long ago. Formin a sports bar to replace a gigging bar is never a good idea - in particular if the venue in question now resembles mare of a sports bra...anyway...no worries - all rocked, all mad noise, all re-decorated interiors and all enjoyed - the point : If yer goona rock - make sure you do interior decorating afterwards....nuff said ? (P.S. DVDs of this gig are for sale/blackmail etc.. call us for quotations and/or concrete shoes.) Oh and special mention to 2 individuals who made the night special mental. Paparazzi Pat (PAN) photographer and the rock goddess himself the one and only tottttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttiiiieeeeee !
