Jesus Christ there is some ignorant sad shit being spilt from peoples keyboards on this forum. As some one who has played with both Pip and Matt in the past ,lived with Phil and who is good freinds with several of the band and who counts himself as a close freind of Matt I can assure you :
A-Matt doesnt think he is God , Matt of all people was the least likly to let any hype go to his head. You are just revealing your ignorance.
B-What ever you think of thier musical talent it obviosly was enougth to satisfy crowds in New York and Melb (as well as many here).
C- did you not understand that 2lane was a theatrical band, tantrums , songs named after movies , Kiss shirts, fake band member names... You dont have to like it but you also shouldnt take it seriosly and make assumptions about thier personalitys from it.

Also does it occure to you that the band members actually read this stuff, it does actually upset them. Particulary when its done behind the safty of a screen name. Scene bullshit that they are now free of.

yeah, give me one, so I can see if Mr Benge (senior) is still doing the Kurt Cobain look.

and so I can make the normal fool of myself in support of the tight pant crew (2lane)

I voted for Moby ...

psych!

nah I couldnt even get thru. did you get played?

Whats the deal with saturday (as I cant seem to get your rock star arse in person or on the phone)

thespike : 16 July 2002 - 7:32pm

I think your wronge ! the show was most memorable, perhaps you should have let yourself fall into a "relaxed tear shit up have a fun time type of" mood instead of waiting for stunts.

The Datsuns have mastered big crowd / stage showmanship they were not only professional and tight but still had the honest spark that has always made them exciting to watch.

Two Lane were wicked but im biased. Bloody Soles were chaotic and formless. probibly would have been better suited to the opening spot.

thespike : 10 July 2002 - 4:18am

good luck for tonight 2 lane, I will be square and center, beer in hand and spike upon flesh, ride your wave , the devils work, forge your rock and induce a roll.
shes a harsh mistriss but she paves the way.
damnation is divine. rock and roll.

thespike : 30 June 2002 - 8:33pm

you could probibly say something more about the 11th now that the Datsuns have announced it.

thespike : 14 June 2002 - 3:47pm

AD is back in PL , well in as much as PL are together which pretty much when they are all in the same city at the same time.

thespike : 14 June 2002 - 3:45pm

I didnt tell you but .....
Word is there have been some homoerotic adventures of beefcake proportions going down in the 2 Lane compound in recent weeks, I couldnt possibly say who did what to who , but lets just say Welly has its own Mick Jagger / Bowie story now, the walls have ears.

thespike : 14 June 2002 - 3:41pm

Our silence has ....come?
Welly just aint the same without em is it? Valves all electronic ,the only hardcore Iv seen in ages waz PL at players ball, all Im left with are the cd's. sad , sad. They say rocks coming back but at least in the capital it seems to be diminishing.

thespike : 11 February 2002 - 2:24am

Best qoute of the day : "if any of you are old enougth we have a show at indigo tonight , come along" Blindspott (evidently few were as most the crowd were thier for Product)

Worst banters of the day : Augestino describing every song they played before playing them.

Worst phenomina of the day : the hordes of Blindspott fans that left after the singles had been played.

best phenomina of the day : SUN

Sound : I didnt catch Ejecter but I thought the sound was pretty good, I remember back to Gamut playing bands in the square and the southerly wiping out 1/2 the drum kit, and the PA being so small you couldnt hear when it gusted.

It seemed to be the most populated Bands in the square since the aforementioned HLAH one. At least of the ones I have attended.

conclusion : nice day, interesting bands, made me feel VERY OLD. haha then again maybe I am.

thespike : 7 November 2001 - 2:00am

Yo Wretched, days of Dstreet parties, "Satan could be seen" performances and deranged Indigo benders seem a world ago, hope your still rockin. Kieran

thespike : 6 November 2001 - 11:50pm

thespike : 6 November 2001 - 4:46am
