deathboyI hope tomorrow's gig goes OK.
It's at a school, so they can raise money for their music department. Which is cool.
There's gonna be three local bands playing before us, which could be really ace, or shite, hopefully the former.
However, it sounds like there will be barely enough time for us to soundcheck, DEFINITELY not enough time for the other bands to soundcheck (so it'll be line-test-tastic - which never helps a band sound good), through a PA donated by the local music shop. Which again, at least has the *possibility* of being gash. Fingers crossed, it'll be adequate.
What's MORE worrying is that they've apparently sold over 150 tickets.
If it DOES go badly, I'd almost rather play to a few skate kids and a dog on a string, yeah? ;)
I won't be allowed to drink or smoke on stage (or indeed at all).
So I guess I'll have a bottle of *ahem* water on stage, then.
Also, I only really realised when I sat down to think about it, the sheer volume of filth I spout in my songs.
* We Will Destroy - about destroying / killing, etc, obviously. No swearing.
* Amphetamine Zoo - it's about drugs and contains "pissing"
* Slip - chorus has "shit" in it
* Computer #1 - fine, actually. Because thePhil wrote the lyrics
* Lost again "I'll kill your fucking jesus" "I'm not some fucking rhesus" "I only want to fuck you to out evolve your weakness" - so that's swear-a-licious and some religious elements in it, too
* Cheap shot - "Cheap shot - cheap FUCKING shot"
* Decimate - written, quite literally, about schoolkids going on a Columbine-type-spree
* Crawlout - "maybe he'll just come back and skullfuck you in your sleep"
I said to the lads, quite seriously while trying to rationalise my concerns: "oh, it'll be alright, it's not as if I swear all the fucking time. Ah."
Still, apparently, people have been asked and we're OK to do... er... our thing.
God help me, it's going to be emotional.
