AND Fest and Chew Disco pres L.A. ZOMBIE

We went through to Liverpool on Friday evening to watch Bad Taste Barbies play at a screening of Bruce La Bruce's flick LA Zombie, hosted by our pals Chew Disco and the Abandon Normal Devices festival. We had a gay old time! Barbies were great as usual, and I enjoyed the doomy electro of headliners Severin. The less said about the film the better, but in a nutshell it's modern porn legend Francois Sagat wandering around LA in various shades of well-styled distress (and on-again/off-again green make-up and fake teeth) fucking models who are way too buff to be homeless with a weird blue-spunking, sweet-potato-shaped cock. That really is it. It's a porn movie with added (really bad) gore, supposedly meaningful lingering shots of Sagat and some very heavy handed metaphors. It was terrible, but we enjoyed the experience anyway! Here's the trailer, and some pics by Lisa Aspin:

Joe & Niall @ Crosby, Liverpool

And after New Brighton, me and Joe went to see Anthony Gormley's Another Place on Crosby beach near Liverpool. We had a lovely weekend, thanks to Kat and Hockey for putting us up!





Some ace grafitti near the beach! It's a quote from Tyler The Creator's "Radicals", but the third word didn't quite come out the way it should have...


And on the way back we found Bey and Solange's house!

Joyce & Noel @ New Brighton

Here's some nice pics of Joyce D'Vision and Noel Order on a recent day trip to the lovely New Brighton. Videos shall be coming soon:

Blazin With Damien!

We went to see Fucked Up playing at the Kazamier in Liverpool on Wednesday night - one word: AMAZEBOLZ! We even got to blaze with Damien - he's lovely and he hugs like he means it. Man. If you ever get the chance to catch one of their shows, then do - I will too.

This was my first ever trip to Liverpool, and I saw Dane from the Invisibles (as he is now) coming out of a toilet in the Swan pub. I know it was him because he was wearing a mod-target jumper, and nobody else wears that, right?

On a related note, author Steven Blush is giving away 24 hours of American hardcore punk (1981-1986) for free on his website right now. That's 911 tracks of angry American people shouting and swearing. Go get it...
