Pennywise

OK, in all seriousness? tonight fucken rocked, actually it all started rocking at midday.
After giving Alana a much needed Tom lecture on how she is too fucken young to worry about having kids when shes 30, or worrying about the fruitlessness of having a great job by then, I decided I needed to get the fuck out of the house, Robby Janes put the word through that his tec was on fire, and he wanted to drink, sweet, BMX to Robs and hit it hard.

Rowen turned up in his ute to take us to the Pennywise concert (well actually to hit the piss at his place until the concert, caught up with Dylan Spencer, who is now some kind of big cat as Swazi international traveling around the world advertising I think? which is awesome) Walked through the hills of wellington to get to Vic hall, I mean who the hell builds a Uni on top of a series of hills? I guess it means fitter healthier students though.

Upon walking into the uni hall, it was clear that the place was completely packed out, the only area that wasn’t a mosh pit was behind the sound board on the right side where the bar was, and even then that was packed out (Sarah spent most of the night rocking out there, saying ‘I saw you guys get swallowed by the crowed’ and that’s exactly what would happen, The World came on, and I stepped forward, halfway through the song I found myself fairly much right at the front, id then get to the side and attempt to get ot the back and do it all again, at one point, (right infront of Rowen and I) a dude tried to jump from the 2nd floor balcony to crowd, only his legs were supported and he landed on his head like a sack of potatoes, he got up though, a snake pit had developed fairly much in the area where he had landed, Rowen was running around in there windmill punching any unfortunate person who entered, I dodged him and stuck to the outside planting my feet, fuck that.

They gave a song to everyones bosses, excaliming ‘this is for the people who push there empolyees around, we arnt going in tommorow because we’re at the fucken pennywise concert on a tuesday night’ the crowd went nuts, and ‘Fuck Authority’ cranked, In a break fletcher asked if anyone had weed, I guess theyre another band that supports the legalisation.
All and all its probably the best gig Ive been too in a small space, definitely the best mosh pit, everyone was helping everyone up I fell down once and was picked up, and done the same to the people around me.

They encored with ‘Land Down Under’ and ‘Bro Hymn’

P.S

  • R18 gigs are the best because there are no screaming 13 year old idiots with yellowcard shirts exclaiming that 48 may is hardcore punk *shudders* oh and
  • Rob got called an emo on the way back by some pop punk bitches that wouldn’t know who Sid Vicious was if his ghost took a steaming turd on there chests (that’d be hot)
  • Rob got Jim Lindberg’s cap
  • Pennywise told us to ’steal download and share there new music’ Ill share it, but prefer to support groups I like, that said, another band that doesn’t care about the money, just the fans.
  • Skidmark got a concussion, and his glasses were broken when ‘land down under’ came on

    Go Rob! Getting called an Emo and getting the hat, I’ll be buying that man a beer! steal download and share there new music’ is exactly what artists should promote, You can’t stop it so why not support it and get people who otherwise wouldn’t have heard it to listen! Sounds like it was a dam good concert!
