I have a headache this morning... ugh... shouldn't have drunk vodka last night. I didn't drink much, but I always have to drink a tonne of water or I get dehydrated REAL easy...
I went out to a new night in town; "swanscene". This guy I know called Dave has started to run it at one of the local pub/venues... it's for alternative bands in swansea.
It was very cool. He was SO energetic + intense. Everytime he introduced a band he was like "WE GOTTA MAKE THIS FUCKING WORK, PEOPLE. THERE'S BEEN TOO MUCH APATHY IN THIS TOWN FOR TOO LONG"
Ya know the wierd thing?! He's totally right. It's crazy. There's no where in this town for decent punk rock bands. Or other alt. bands for that matter. Save Indie bands; there's a whole 'guild' for that type of music, but if you're a little bit 'harder' you don't fit in.
It was really well organised, surprisingly. + there was even quite a big turn out. The bands that played were pretty good. The first band were real good except for the singer. She was the only girl there, but unfortunately she didn't deserve to be on stage
She sucked, big time. She didn't even LOOK like she fitted in. She was kinda townie looking. She just warbled over ALL of their songs + didn't seem to know when to shut up. Anyway, then there was Alpharise, who I like anyway, + we've played with them before.
Then the last band 100% disapointed me. They went through the nu-metal motions. Copying their favourite bands, like linkin park + the lost prophets etc. Now, don't get me wrong, you can like those bands. But I KNOW it doesn't take much to rip that music off + they sounded EXACTLY like them. I mean, does it really take that much to try + be original?!
Although, apart from this it was a good night. I'm glad there's now somewhere for me to go out to again
+ we're playing there in two weeks. FUN

On a side note, my SG stickers came today *woop*... all 100 of them
