i liked this band the best.

Once again, a fucken excellent performance.

The Accelerants had one or two really good songs.
TLBT had some awesome moments but I'm getting so sick of the garage rock, "the" bands sound.
sometimes I wish people would just shoot me, at least it would be change.
Stop wearing influences so boldly. Work them together to form a "new" sound. Shock me, not just rock me.

// But I'm the one who is dying.

So don't come along then.

I think they were all excellent. I was MOST impressed with Batrider, but I had a fucken wicked mosh to TLBT. And The Accellerants were also very cool. Nice little EP too.

please take my comments with a grain of salt, or a truckload if you want.
I need a break.

cool, thanks for the photos serra. I quite enjoyed the image of toby singing with the abnormaly large set of chops. big muscles too....(that ones for you tobes)
batrider are playing a show at thistle hall next weekend (26 april) with school of meat, tried for treason, deadline, and disaster radio. so come along and bring your friends!

Thanks Eddie.

As Disasteradio said elsewhere, the night went really well - everybody had a great old time. The bands all kicked arse, there was a good turnout and there was no trouble - it was really a great example of how a well organised all ages gig should turn out. Thanks everyone who came, and thanks Kerry for putting that together!

I'd just like to note that I think someone (and a different person each time I think) has shouted out 'play some Slayer' at us during our set every single time we've played. I hope people don't think we LOOK like Slayer...

// I hope people don't think we LOOK like Slayer...

i feel a croxx between slayor and the korrs explains your looking.

love jimmey thunder.

I, too, had noticed that... and it has been mentioned to me by a couple of random people... go the Aro St massive...

Cool don't factor into it buddy... it's those wonderful Aro St chips... if you're a fan of them, you'll know Batrider...

red devil, your conclusion is accurate. Foiled.
and we wouldve gotten away with it too if it werent for you pesky kids. if you listen close enough actually, you can hear the origional versions of all 'our' songs.
check it out.

Sarah has the pinky, wish it was mine.
i would've upgraded sooner- had the right guitar found me, but unfortunately there has been no such magic yet.
who are you?

You wrote a song called Play Some Slayer?!?! That is fucken class.

Record, godammit.

no problem.

// play some slayer was pretty rough

as are most new songs.
how was the wedding? heh, heh.

// I'm definitely converted now!

That's what we like to hear. Cheers man...

Now here comes three pretty vague statements - firstly for all you Aucklanders, we're headed your way. Yep - we've got a handful of dates sorted for June, and cracker gigs they'll be too. Tell you more closer to the time.

Also, fingers crossed, we'll be making our first visit to the studios in the next week or so to put down a couple of songs. Who knows what we'll do with them - but just letting you know we're working on it... and third - we'll keep you posted about our next gig, but perhaps you might like to keep saturday the 24th free?

yeap. Keen to check out This Night Creeps too.
Will you be bringing the CD?
