Chaffer's Park Concert?

NiceGuyEddie, 25 February 2003 - 4:23pm

Saturday 1st March - Wellington

I keep hearing from bands all over the show that there is a concert in Chaffers park (Across the road from New World - skate park thing.) I have heard that Dana Eclair, Kamahi, Paselode and a shit load of others are on.

But I have not heard anything official at all! What is the story? Does ANYONE in this city actually know? The bands don't even know any details.

I was talking to Adrian and he said that he was somehow involved with the organising of it... also The Lamps are playing (his little side project)... But honestly it all sounds uber-disorganised..

I'll be there, nothing gets me going like a free gig :-)

I'll see you there Eddie (actually I'll see you tinight firstly)

And goddamn... how terribly was THAT organised?

Yay Wellington City Council. Everything was set up and NO-ONE knew it was even there. I enjoyed myself anyway.

Of note:
The Lamps were very cool - all very nice originals, very talented.
Kamahi were even cooler than before. Violin player is a very good addition, yay for tripped out almost dub jams.
Dana Eclair were cool too. Looking forward to the album. Out soon apparently.

wasn't advertised very well i think. i went, missed the first two bands, and didn't listen to the rest. left during jacky tarr [or however you spell it] so i didn't get to see dana eclair which i wish i had stayed for now....bit pissed marystaple pulled out on friday night though.

mild audience really. the highlight for me was the bum sitting below the shrub a few metres from me....."ozzy ozbourne!! /m/"....

//Kamahi were even cooler than before. Violin player is a very good addition, yay for tripped out almost dub jams.

have to agree with that, i liked them. even if the lead singer's voice did resemble something of a sheep, but thats me just being anti - so ignore that. lol.

I wanted him to die. He was pretty wasted, huh? Making offerings (of stones, pieces of string, etc) to the bands that had girls in them.

i think everyone wanted him to die....well, i didn't want him to die - i just wanted him to shut the fuck up.

that, and he's not quite right in the head......mentally i mean....

//Making offerings (of stones, pieces of string, etc) to the bands that had girls in them.

ba ha ha....i didn't see that, but that would've been funny to watch. i was standing up at one point making a bit of noise arounf my friends i was told to sit down other wise "the crazy guy will come over", ha ha.

//Wellington has sure got it's characters, huh?

so true - like the guy who walks around midland park/lambton quay who wears a cape with badges on it, and sometimes i tinfoil hat......he he.....
