That sure doesn't sound like something you would say Andy, so I'll ignore it. Here's how good it actually was... Hurricane Typhoon! TV Creeps Poulton Gig Review 12.05.05 The Hurricane Typhoon It was pure synchronicity magic when I found out that the supplier I needed to meet worked in Poulton-Le-Fylde, near Blackpool. Even I couldn’t believe it when I pulled up at his office and it was 100 yards from the venue. Inside the Royal Oak it was a case of For Every HIT There’s A MISS – I HIT lucky again when I found a copy of March Of The Giants for a tenner in the Punk Rock CD sale I had a MISS when I turned down the offer of a burger as I placed my gem find in the boot of my car, I came to my senses and asked the barman if I could have the burger – “Sorry mate I’ve just eaten the last two.” Had a quick chat with Carl and then a longer chat with Paul about rare punk video’s. Great guys – keeping Punk real and accessible. Nipped down to the Thatched Cottage where I first met Frenzbob all those months ago. Completed my TV gig list and found out that the Derby gig on Thursday would be my 40th TV gig. Not bad when you think that I had my 21st TV gig at the same venue on Bonfire Night in 2002. I used the magic word ‘FLEAGLES’ and introduced myself to Jonas, The Creeps awesome bass player. He told me he was ‘born’ in 1977 and I replied, “So was I,” “Hey, that means we’re the same age!” Jonas replied. …‘I wish.’ Jenny came over and pointed at a poster on the wall. “I am a cunt,” said Jenny brandishing her CUNT bracelet, “We’ve patented that phrase.” “Ah but this one says the word ‘Censored’ through it” I helpfully pointed out - So glad I went to that workshop on Intellectual Property last week. “And it says ‘I am’ and ours is ‘I’m’ a cunt,” added Jonas. After a long chat with Jonas who was on a quest to find some Newcastle Brown Ale I said a quick hello to Jeff Creep (not forgetting the magic word) and then I listened it to a conversation TV was having with one of the Punks at the gig. He asked if TV could play Back From The Dead. “Your in luck we’ve rehearsed that’” said Teev to his delighted fan. How Strange that they chose a rare b-side beside the seaside. TV was on great form and we had a long chat about C5 and how it was a real shame that he missed the gig due to breaking his leg end. Teev was really looking forward to seeing C5’s face as he watched the TV Creeps. I was amazed how much Teev knew and cared about the two EARTBOUND gigs. Rest assured THE GREAT MAN is on the case TUTS and he has a bag full of ideas. We started talking about how generous all the TUTS are like Simse offering to put the UK TUTS up in Germany and the FLEAGLES lending The Midnight Creeps two cars. I said that FLEAGLE was the Moses of the TUTS. TV said, “No you’ve got that wrong - FLEAGLE is the God of the TUTS”. As we talked about how generous and caring our gang is I noticed TV the punk rocking typhoon well up a little. “GAWD I’m going to get sentimental – have to think of something to get me real down quick!… Got it” say’s TV has he begins to tell me of a shitty betrayal. Instant Agony time! Typical punk – fast and furious. Shame they didn’t play the great Green Day songs they’d sound checked. Enter The Midnight Creeps. Faster and furiouser. The mighty hurricane as a might powerful voice. A new guitarist who ‘s certainly practiced his punk guitar posing moves adds added flash. Doomed From The Get Go was real catchy. Bought their album straight after the set finished – nuff said! Enter Typhoon TV! Only One Flavour The TV Creeps are a real blast! Pure ROCKET FUEL! No Time to be 21 The Creeps had reverted to the guitarist from last year. His black hair made it hard to recognize him. He rocks! Safety in Numbers Jeff Creep really goes for it on the opening drum blast of… Television’s Over I couldn’t believe that only the Back From The Dead punk was at the front pogoing on the dance floor. He got his reward… Back from the Dead The Guinness flowed. Expensive Being Poor Then comes the first shocker of the night! Bring The Bull Down Wow! What an awesome high-powered charge! No way you’ll bring TV The Bull down now – he’s rapant! I join the BFTD punk pogoing for the rest of the gig. Lord's Prayer This ones for you m8. I think to myself thing about poor old hop-a-long C5 and his leg end. Lion and the Lamb …March Of The Giants £10! Runaway Train Driver It can’t end yet! Enter the Hurricane - Kiss her in the head were the bullet exploded! Love Songs (with Jenny Hurricane) Please record this with Third Term TV Creeps! My camera film runs out half way through the set. I don’t panic and coolly change it and start shooting the Hurricane Typhoon. Bombsite Boy Jonas pumps out the opening bars of an impassioned version of The Boy. Typhoon TV takes off. Gary Gilmore's Eyes Bored Teenagers One Chord Wonders …Mega pogo time! The TV Creeps encore with… Ready For The Axe To Drop I loose the plot and start doing a weird Executioner dance. Shades of Richard Strange in Robin Hood, Prince Of Thieves. Axe matched Dead, Love and Bull as the gig highlights. I buy Jonas his reward – you guessed it - a bottle of Newcastle Brown Ale! I rip a poster off the wall and get The Typhoon and Jonas to sign it. Jonas goes away of a quest to get signatures and returns with words that are more colorful than the yellow on the poster. According to Jenny it’s now a Twatagraph poster. I thank TV and The Creeps and head for the toiletbowl – but no suicide for me. In the Gents I catch a punk pulling a TV Creeps A4 poster off the wall. He looks embarrassed. “Mines much bigger than yours,” I laugh. The Creeps toilet humour is” catching! I destroyed London, I destroyed France – I did it with my underpants, …so COME ON BABY LETS DANCE!!! |
