A Blog about Bonefest.

So Saturday December 6th (almost a week ago now, I'm lazy) was Bonefest at the Brudenell Social Club in Leeds, and unless you're an idiot, you'll know EXACTLY what the lineup was. Do you know?

I do. I was there. So now I'm gonna tell you about it through my eyes. There is a video of it that we need to upload, but the camcorder ran out of batteries before the end of our set, so we've got not all that much footage to share with you. Which is why I'm using words currently...

Basically, we got to Leeds on Friday night. Driving there in a ford focus full of equipment. Enjoying Chocolate chip cookies. We were staying at our major homeboy (and bassist of our previous band) Jack Drummond's house. Which is wicked, we bought him some chocolates to say thankyou.

BUT YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT!

Next morning, after a refreshing sleep on a floor next to an open window, we woke up and went to the Brudenell. We set up stuff, said hello to people then doors Opened and Shapes kicked things off. They fucking blew us away! Absolutely quality, buy their EP. Buy it now. DO IT! and go see them live, and prepare to have your balls ripped open by a wall of awesome sound.

No Kilter were bloody good, and I owe them my life for lending me an amp. (Cheers Colin!) Then it was our turn, set went well. Only major hiccups being a bit rusty on the new song and being my constant apologising. Ah well, we wrecked shit and a nearly killed some people with my guitar. I hope they don't hold that against me!

At this point, Jake started getting tipsy, so I'll let him tell you his version of events... HI JAKE!

Hi guys! I'm going to apologise for any repeated content as, frankly, i can not be arsed to read Luke Bathers babble above. I would also like to add that i am not tipsy, although at bonefest i was quite drunk. Anyway.. Yeh we got off stage feeling pretty rubbish about our set as all the other bands were top, i got shouted at from the sound guy for knocking his £90 microphone of the front of the stage, ahem. The whole stage change over routine was pretty crazy for fear of knocking everything out of time by taking too long which would have made James Brown very angry and nobody wanted to do that.

After mooching around looking sweaty for a while, drinking cider and talking to people we became aware that we apologised far too much during our set (which won't happen again!). I want to comment on some of the bands being really good but to be honest they were all amazing.

Oh! BLAKFISH!?!?! WHAT THE HELL!? They appeared on stage wearing helmets made from boxes, various cutlery, an assortment of fruits and no pants. Which scared the shit out of me but at the same time made me wish i could not care about anything as much as that, their set was amazing amazing amazing (as were all the other bands). I'm not sure if Blakfish have any photos of their set on Myspace but you should probably check it out anyway.

At this point im going to pass over to Naf as the rest of the night is quite blurry for me...HI NAF!

I started reading the boyz above blogs until I thought I carn't be arsed reading theres this is MINE. So, day 1 drummond of love and crew had a large night at Drummonds and it was cockin good. Day 2 the bonefester spent lots of time in the ross mobeeeel driving around after people and making everything was all good. We was by far the first band there! We even got to meet the shameless tribute crew out the venue. Met some amazing bands during that day shapes blew my face off. The velvet orchastra were sick sick sick. Then of course the big chunks of the night were AMAZING Tubelord,that fucking tank, Blakfish (What a reception they get!) as for the other hand full of bands Ye was sick. Day 3 ramming back into the ross mobeeeel to drive home! Shame love out of town gigs. Bring on the tour I say!

Back to the band dog take it away gerald.

WOOF WOOF WOOF. (Trump)
