Fucked Up!

Herd a few mentions of them on here and Ive been a fan for a while myself but had to tell the world about their gig at the Liverpool Korova Bar last nite (Sun 1st March)

I have never had such an epithany during a gig as I did last nite. Amidst the volume swelling and burning my ears, the stench of blood and sweat fluid in the air and the agony of being repetedly punched, barged and beaten in an epic mosh pit I actually closed my eyes and felt a unique feeling of extasy I havent felt since The Wildhearts at Machester academy Dec 2007. And thats saying something.

So back to reality that really was a fucking amazing gig and I can see myself compairing every gig to it from now on. Father Damian split his head open with a bottle at the bar in the first song, Mustard Gas was so stoned she forgot that they already played Police 3 times and Young Gouvner broke so many strings he had to borrow a guitar from the support band. They blew fuses, I saw sparks, an amp started smoking and Damian give me the mike to scream the entire courus of Son The Father :D They played for near 2 hours and finishd with a 1, 2 punch of covers Nervious Breakdown and Blitzkreig Bop.

My god that was incredible. If any of you are looking for a band to change your life, look no further than Fucked Up. Im off to spend the next few years tracking down their entire back catologue of 27 indipendent 7" releases. :wink:

I actually think that gig changed my life. Wow.

Saw them and The Bronx on Saturday night in Manchester. Undescribable. But I'll try!

Fucked Up - Damian spent half the gig in the crowd singing, cuddling, surfing, snogging, but never missing a vocal! The start got me - about 10 mins before the set each guitarist came out, plugged in, played three notes, then stood at the side of the stage awaiting Damian! Soundcheck? No need! The intro riff to Son the Father took me to a higher plain! With my naturally balding head and inability to regularly shave, I aspire to be Pink Eyes - just need a few more pies! Crooked Head!!!!!!! Crusades!!!!!!!

The Bronx - Matt spent half the gig crowd surfing, but given that he must be 8 stone lighter than Damian, no complaints! How is it possible to scream 80 mins of vocals without the larynx bursting? Penultimate song (Historys Stranglers), he arranged for security to take a break so everyone could storm the stage! And then he apologised to the band for starting it!

Rolo Tomassi were crap. in case anybody wondered!

Best gig for ages. Not sure if there are any more dates, but do what you can!
