The Corner Flag 08-11-2014


Our second gig with our new Bass player Conner who fitted in perfect with the "bullets"

the bar was slowly filling up with punters misfits and the usual Uplifting Gormandizers. with the sun setting and the night coming in fast we loaded in to the Corner Flag at 7:45 and hung about waiting for the stage to be set

The night was kicked off at 9pm with sittin pretty playing a collection of clash inspired reggae style originals while adding a few covers including a Beatles one! with lead vocalist Raish with his joe strummer style playing on the strat while his boys complemented the sound of fuzzy bluesy riffs and heavy bass lines with a good strong drum beat, 

next up was Fire Lady luck a green day inspired pop punk band they were known as the Blitz before their name change they played a mixed set of Green Day covers and originals through a very loud wall of sound with their lead singer Billie Joe lookalike taking up center stage with his left handed les paul double cutaway.

soon it came to our time to shine, the stage was set and all was quiet with a loud 1234!!! we kicked off our set with a cover of a sex pistols cover version of I'm not your stepping stone then going to one of our originals Spitfire!!! a song dedicated to a familiar aircraft every body knows, the one that won the Battle of Britain. we finished off our set with a punk cover version of house of the rising sun.
but before we could pack up we got Raish up of sittin pretty to join us for a jam playing Beat on the brat and blitzkreig bop and tried a cover of anarchy in the uk before finshing off.

the whole night was a fun exciting and very loud! we didnt get home till about 1am 

our next gig is down at Jarrow on the 12th December at the golden lion supporting all out attack
