Hi,
I want to start a big bitch on the worst bar in the world "FlashBacks"
They have an open Jam Night on Thursday which is cool, but their gear sucks so bad.
This bar is the hickest anywhere. We where told that they would prefer listening to Wild Thing covers than us. I know we might suck as a band...but this is just plain lame.
I want everyone to share their Anti-Flashbacks stories.
Also, I'm getting some Anti-Flashbacks T-Shirts done. On the front is the Flashbacks Logo and on the back are the words
"FlashBacks...Evolution in Reverse"
Im not trying to be too negative...its just these guys are bad-mouthing my band really bad and I hate the place.
Oh well, that enough from me...
"but you gotta admit beliefs are odd, A lot of Christians wear crosses around their necks - you think when Jesus comes back, he ever wants to see a fucking cross? Kind of like going up to Jackie Onassis with a rifle pendant on, you know?" The late, great Bill Hicks (RIP)

Hahaha, ohh what an awesome thread. Of course flashbacks sucks, it's flashbacks! Maybe you should head down there on a Saturday night. I think even "wild thing" might be a bit alternative for some of the clients who frequent the place. It's basically a Hutt version of "the fat ladies arms".
Or, even better, have your gig at Secret Level in High st and make it all ages. They'll treat you nicely and their gear/venue is good.

I have always had a facination with playing there. It would be like the Blues brothers playing in that bar that had both kinds of music 'country and western'. Do they have chicken wire? The Hutt is a classy place!

It is very close...you half expect sawdust on the floor.
I only wanted to jam there to say we had. We did play really bad...
I stirred up a bit too much shit with this jam night. The guy that organised it really nailed into us about how much we sucked (which we proberley do), so thats why Im fighting back...I just feel I have to defend my band. theres no way I think we're the best band ever (very far from it).

I went to Flashbacks once to see a band or two, and I've never been the same since.
From the "DJ" playing Shania Twain to the lady in Acid Wash jeans and white cowboy boots shimmying on the dance floor, her crimped blonde semi-mullet bouncing seductively... it was all way, way too much for me to handle.

yeah. I got a beer and the keg was empty or something and it spit beer all over the bar lady and she was like "f**king c**t" I was a bit shocked to hear a chick talking like that but everyone else was calm as about it.
How old fashioned of you!...

really terrible PA, but we knew that. . .
the kick drum sounded like someone banging on a wet towel
Having not lived in the Hutt for nearly 5 years, i can go back there and bump into a whole host of old school friends and other randoms. .
Its great how there's absolutely no consistency in the music i.e it'll be shania twain, then inner circle, then AC/DC, then crazy frog or something. the phrase 'creating a vibe' doesn't exist - the vibe is that of a general drunken mess of people who hate each other.
They always have the same lighting set up, and its always flashing and spinning, no matter what the rest of the bar is up to.
Everyone parks their cars up on the grass across the road, even when there's a million free carparks.
redeeming features - that little Super Touch (or is it Mega Touch) game screen in the corner with the strip poker and that naked biker dude...
yeah, thats about it. . .

yeah, our drummer found out that instead of replacing the skins on the kick, they just put a sound hole in the skin and swapped it with the front one...

grusome, you hit the nail on the head.
When we played there wasn't anyone else in there (apart from the bogon flannel club) and they had smoke machines going, strobe light (while we where setting up).
needless to say...none of them will be going on to be physic majors!!!!!!!
Its hard to beleive that in certain parts of the world people are screaming "revolution, revolution" and at flashbacks they're screaming "Evolution, Evolution...We want our thumbs"

Well, after I married my sister, we had our reception there and it rocked. Man, we listened to ACDC non-stop for 16 hours...It was so cool I almost spilt my can of Double brown on my leather vest

I have nothing but pro-flashies stories.

if you come to flashies with a pretense other than getting really drunk then you're going to be dissapointed. Wednesday nights seem to be back to the Y2K style of nobody there, it's fucking mean if there's only five of you in the bar and there's $5 jugs.

Flashbacks? last time i was there a matter of 6 weeks ago, it was dead (me and 2 other patrons) - and it was a friday night 11.30pm.
But the music flashies often play is fucking awesome - Led Zep, Thin Lizzy, Van Halen etc.
