Flying Nun 21st Birthday<\/p>\n
Betchadupa, The D4 and Pan Am at Indigo Bar, Wellington New Zealand July 27th 2002<\/p>\n
I arrived too late to catch Pan Am’s set… not really much of a dissapoinment on my part, but my company, was most upset to miss their performance, but all cannot be pleased, however….Betchadupa andTthe D4… what a show!<\/p>\n
My ears are ringing an alarming amount right now… mental note…do something about that for future gigs…..<\/p>\n
We arrived down at Indigo at just after 10:30 because we had all been glued to the TV watching the elections… mmm thrilling….<\/p>\n
anywaaaaaaaaaay…. after our thrilling wee gathering to watch the elections, Lisa and I ventured down to Indigo to see Pan Am pack up…. The D4… are certainly the “rock and roll motherfuckers” they claim to be… fucking awesome…. pity about their absolute munter fans… I swear someone was going to loose their balls if I got stood on or punched in the breasts one more time…but then again, bands can’t really choose who becomes their avid followers.<\/p>\n
I would definitely recommend the band though…. hopefully without munters. Dion their guitarist certainly has no fear of meeting his munted crowd head on though…. finishing their last song, by climbing into the crowd with his guitar to play his solo… nice…<\/p>\n
Now to Betchadupa… as always putting on a good show… although Liam’s voice seemed a little strained through “Life will be the same”. They opened with the punchy “Move Over” which went down well as a starter… followed by “I Want It”, the fantastic (but a pity it didn’t make the album0 “Drowning”, and the first album’s single “Sleepy News”, “Filthy McNasty”. They certainly pulled things up a notch when lauching into the single from their first self titled ep “Awake”. They rounded that off with a mellow and as I said, slightly strained “Life Will be the Same”, and other non album gem “Rain”, then finally pulling things back up again to full throttle with “Bits”, “Man on my Left”, and “Empty Head”.<\/p>\n
Of course, the closers were Supa Day and Drop D, and their encore consisted of a mass “jam” and a cover of the 3D’s outerspace… just like the last time I saw them actually.<\/p>\n
Either way… they are as brilliant as before… the audience as usual full of teenage girls who all want Liam… but well …. what did you expect?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
