SATURDAY!
REBELATION are seriously sweet. Hopefully they'll bring down the entire crew and there'll be like a billion trumpets and bongos. Can't argue with any of the other support bands either.
Inter City Crazy Train were totally sweet at the Random Hand show, last time I saw them.
The Sterilisers I'm sure I've seen before when drunk at the Moon and gone 'this is pretty cool'.
Tommy Pirate is always cool to catch before you get mad drunk, because members of the Tagnuts will usually heckle him about being in Edelweiss Pirates.
Everybody who is awesome will be there, so don't miss out.
Then on SUNDAY D.S. from Ababoonsass has sorted out...
HARD SKIN!
ABOVE THEM!
FIVE SHITTY FINGERS!
TWO PEAS IN A POD!
SUNDAY 19th of DECEMBER
PORTLAND ARMS
CAMBRIDGE
£7 IN
Hard Skin are to Oi! what Good Clean Fun are to youth crew. Dust off your boots, braces and cult lower division football team jersey and shave your head!
Above Them I don't really have a clue, but they are probably alright, I trust D.S's judgement.
Five Shitty Fingers is Duncan from Snuff (and a billion other bands) doing some sort of acoustic folk stuff. I saw a video on youtube and everybody on-stage was dressed like pirates.
Two Peas In A Pod are two dudes from Vanilla Pod doing some acoustic stuff. Will they do 'Once Was Home' and will it rock as hard? I'd like to find out.
Brewer is exceptionally happy about Hard Skin, so if you're tall, stand in front of him so he can't see the band. If Hard Skin cover 'Oi! to the world' by the Vandals (which every band should do around Xmas), I will be moshing hard.

In other exciting news the new CRUCIAL 'ZINE shirts look totally fucking sweet. Pictures will be up as soon as I get batteries for my camera. For anybody who didn't preorder one, I've got a few spares in black and navy blue (sizes S-XL), but get in touch fast, because people are already claiming them. £6 a pop (plus postage). I'm going to Greece early next week for like a month, so don't sleep on this too long.
Also the new issue is coming along nicely. Unfortunately there have been some minor setbacks with the zine and life in general, so issue #7 won't be out until mid/late January. Don't worry though, I will make sure it is EXTRA good, so there will be a higher quota of awesomeness in it than usual, you know, for a change.
Also, there are NEW rates for advertising, should any record label, distro, store, mercenary or super villain wanting to pimp their wares in the upcoming issue. £10 for 1/4 page, £20 for half a page and £30 for a full page. Hell, I'll gladly take money from racist, sexist and homophobic folk, print their ads under the heading 'How to demonstrate your severe retardation at the expense of natural resources' and spend the loot on something cool. Money generated from ads will go towards our War on Boredom but crucially, keeping the 'zine free.
Laters!
