"State of it" Napier 1997 - Muckhole/Pig Benis and a few others
i was twelve and they we're cool as. up in the band room they we're smoking up having a few, so i bowled up (as you do being 13 and kicking it with crazy rockers) started babbling to em for a while. they gave me a beer, then the main dude gave me his pig benis t-shirt straight of his back, the other then turned and said "you got any of our tapes" i said "no" so they loaded me up with all there ep's as well.. i was stoked and thought i was the coolest kid on the block... i still have the t-shirt

Yet again "State of it" Napier - Shihad/Samonella Dub/HDU/Letterbox lambs/Hell is other people
Saved John Toogood's guitar from taking a massive tumbling that would have left it down the stairs to under the stage, he didn't see but someone was there... maybe dimi......
Thats me done. good long weekend for those who don't have to work.
I remember how I first got into the music I listen to today...
It was back at the Tauranga Jazz Festival '04. A friend who I was going with said there was this awesome band called the Scribes Of Ra playing on the sunday night, and we should go. He managed to get tickets for him and his parents, but it had sold out by the time I looked into it. So the Sunday night came round, my mate went off to the concert, leaving me and a couple of others to go and check out whatever other music we could find. While we were walking round, we walked past a big hall, with some pretty choice sounding music coming out of it. We decide to go and check it out - low and behold the door lady said it was the Scribes Of Ra. We were just about to move on, when the lady said that a few people had already left the concert, and as luck would have it, she was kind enough to let us in, for free.
We went in there, semi-apprehensively, and were absolutely blown away. For those of you that don't know, Scribes Of Ra are a 14-piece ensemble, playing tribute to the afro-beat grooves of Fela Kuti. The music had an insatiable ability to get your body moving, like no other music could. We danced for the entire 2 hour set, and I can't say I've been the same since. This band got me onto the likes of Fat Freddys Drop, Trinityroots, The Black Seeds, and the entire Wellington music scene in general. They've become my favourite albums of my entre CD collection, and an awesome source of inspiration.
I owe that door lady a lot. And Joe Lindsay - that guy can move!
oh so many good stoires about those staple boys ... let me highlight a few on the funnier ones .. such as making matt piss out the window of the bedford at 3 am on the desert rd cause we had lost 1st and 2nd gear .. or mike breaking his toe racing for the shower at the start of a tour .. sam and myselfs many play fights that get out of hand at indigo and almsot being thrown out for knocking over some poor girl on crutches .. aaron on the other hand has done well to aviod moments such as this .. i'l post the best story soon cause i want an ipod!
