Monsters Ball, HQ

Again im not sure what year this was.  Looks like it would of been an awesome show!!!

The Castle

Im not sure what year this was.  But another castle show.  Im guessing 2006.

The Castle, 28/07/06

In phase 1 of the hookers we played the castle so much its hard to remember which show was which.  I do not remember who priority one or the socialites were.

Dont try this at home, 20/05/06, HQ


The Mexicans Tour, Swan Basement, 29/10/06

I dont really remember what the mexicans were like or anything about this show.

Manhattans, 05/08/10

The first time we played at manhattans.  Its a great venue.

Chainsaw Horror, 11/04/09, Hyde Park

A two stage affair in the Hydey backroom, for the relaunch of chainsaw horror(a horror shop in perth). We played on the floor.

Devils Kitchen, 10/02/07, Rosemount

We played this show as a 3 piece as im sure by this stage Maisen had already moved to Melbourne

Hard Ons Tour, June 1-4 2006

The Hard On are one of my favourite bands.  To get to tour with the was fucking amazing.  The tour started off driving to mandurah.  Me and julian drove in my car, we listened to manowar all the way.  When we got to mandurah both wearing double denim, some middle aged lady shouted at us faggot.  Good old mandurah so accepting.  I bought a tuxedo tshirt to wear under my denim. Very classy.We met the dudes from the hard ons, and they were super cool.  After our set, ray told us we sounded like the supersuckers.  Fuckin a.  The hardons played and it was fucking awesome.  On the way back, i got pulled over by the cops and breath tested twice.  According to the nice gentleman i blew .05 twice.  Suck shit coppers.  The next show at the rosemount was pretty sweet too.  I dont remember too many details really.  The third show at the prince of wales.  Was awesome.  The crowd wasnt huge but we had a ball. Before the show i had dinner with Ray.  He is a really awesome guy.  A fucking champ in fact.  I talked to him about the wonderfools.  He drew the artwork on the disc for their kids in satanic service cd.  He told me a rad story about happy tom from turbonegro being obsessed with them and standing up the front at some show they played in europe.  He tells the story better for sure.  The prince of wales gave each band a carton of coopers.  Oh yeah 3 days later also played this show.  The hardons gave us their carton too! Thats was awful nice of them.  The last show was at the indi bar.  Ray used my bass setup for that show.  The bass amp for some reason made ray puke on stage.  That was fucking awesome!!! It was a great tour.

Crossbones CD Launch

Im not sure what year this was.  But its definately from the Chainsaw Hookers phase 1. Obviously I remember nothing about it

28/08/09, Rocket Room

Another late night live show.  We had a lot of fun playing late night live shows at the Rocket Room.  I think the Rocket Room is our official unofficial home.

Lambda Lambda Lambda, Qld,11/11/10

This was our first show on tour.  It was awesome.  We had so many free drinks and the beer came in red plastic cups. Like some American frat party film.  We played a very drunken show, but it was a lot of fun.

Blood Rock Demo

After we decided to do the band again, we decided after we were ready that recording a demo to hand out to promoters and the like, to get some shows.  We recorded two songs.  There was two lots of two songs that it came down to.  I dont remember what the other two songs could of been. Red Hot.  this was a brand new song for us.  Russo came up with the music, and i put the lyrics and melody over it.  It was the first song we wrote together.  Night of the Demons was an older song.  It was started in a hazy night at julians and finished at practice. 

First Blood

Our debut EP.  It was a lot of years in the making.  But im glad we waited!!  5 songs.  Ride the venom. This was the newest song we wrote before we went into the studio.  The first line used to say Im samuel jackson im here to save your arse.  Nathan hated it, he had never realised what the words were.  I didnt resist to changing it, especially when everyone agreed.  Including Master Al.  They were all right.  Nazi werewolf.  When i first came up with the idea of starting this band, this was the first song i wrote for the band.  I wrote the whole thing exactly as it is now.  As best as my memory serves me, we have played this song at every show. Christine. We made a clip to this song, it should be on the net soon.  The start of this song was written at julians to try and tease him about some band he liked at the time, I cant remember who it was.  After i played it i thought, this is pretty good we can make a song about it.  Black Christmas.  This song was written in the shower!! i recorded the whole melody on my phone and then figured out what the chords were.  Death Curse.  Russo wrote all the music to this one.  It was always about friday the 13th but more about jason.  I thought it would be funny to make it about the mum killing in part 1.  We changed melody parts in the verse and kept the chorus the same.  Pretty sure all the music was exactly the same.

Hyde Park, 24/09/10

The Proletariate replaced Black Buzzard for this show.  Im fairly certain it was their first show.  Good dudes.

CKY tour, Civic Backroom, 11/08/10

This was an insane show.  Lotsa people, alex had almost a broken ankle, but played like a champ.  Nathans good looks almost made people puke.

459 Bar, 21/07/10

An awesome little venue.  Would be great to see some acoustic stuff there. 

The Magoos Launch, Hyde Park, 11/12/09

We played this show as a 3 piece, as Julian had just left the band.  It was an awesome show.  I was nervous before this one, as a 3 piece though we pulled it off.

Cult Minds Tour, Rocket Room, 05/02/10

Two Posters, One show. Cult Minds are a great hardcore band, who toured our fair city.  Their guitarist, looked played and used the same guitar as Blackie from the hardons.  My theory was it was his son.  Pretty sure thats not correct.

Rink Rash, Fly by night, 17/04/10

This show was fucking awesome.  We played with 3 guitars. Guido Kuczma was the other guitarist.  He is a former child actor, who after his career ended spent many years in rehab. 

No Sleep Till Pre Party, Rocket Room, 11/12/10

So on the night of the show, Chainsaw Hookers got the late late call up.  I was already at the venue.  And i was already extremely drunk.  I tried my best to sober up.  And we played alright.  The singer of Grim Fandango was sick unfortunately.  Eric Melvin of nofx fame, was the guest dj.  We went upstairs to the voodoo lounge.  Lindsay from frenzal rhomb was there too.  I forgot to tell melvin my fave record was ribbed. 

Blazin Entrails Launch, Rocket Room, 20/11/10

Scalphunter ended up replacing lucille.  This show was fucking awesome.  All the bands were great. The Entrails ep is great too!
