i did play drums in the cult that was rift. we called it a day a year or two back. we blew many venues away in our time, including the concorde, the good olde pressure point, and many a camden boozer
simon fuller tried to sign us once and turn us into an emf/westlife clone but thats a story for another day
we rocked if i do say so myself. you in a band? you seem to know what your on about.
into the brighton punk scene? i remember a night of madness watching the sussex pistols in the albert with about 4 other people. they were and are the shitest thing i have ever seen, despite the quality brian may lookalike guitarist.
apart from that the most punk (local) band ive played with/seen has to be geronimo arkwright. legends.
I may be starting up a band but its a pipe dream at the moment.Otherwise i'm just a pretty major punk/emo/ska/rock fan who tries to get too as many gigs as i can.So far this year i have seen:
Inme
Biffy Clyro x2
Serafin
Something Corperate
Homegrown x2
Steel Train
The movielife
Piebald
Vendetta red
RX Bandits
Span
Birdhouse
Bouncing souls
Boy sets fire
The beatsteaks
Halo friendlies
Early november
bouncing souls are pretty darn good too, saw them with green day a while back. you should see mustard plug, there v good live, played a good gig with them at the free butt before it gayed up.
apparantly THE band to look out for is 'The Ordinary Boys'. Local and gonna be HUGE. Just signed to warner bros.
