Canadian Scum

So I went to see Fucked Up last night and they were fucking good.

I missed the first support band but caught the second one, The Dresdens, who were just a very boring, generic punk band with some arrogant, indecipherable bass-player who kept "rocking out". Did not like.

Fucked Up came on and Damian started the set by smashing a coke can and the mic on his already bruised skull, which as I gather he does at most of their gigs. It looked pretty fucking painful. Punk rock theatrics aside, Fucked Up played a long, energetic set interrupted frequently by Damian's jokes about 14 year-old Gallows fans and his eating habits.

The crowd was pretty random - there were quite a few middle-aged people, as well as a group of 15 year-old European girls wearing glowsticks who looked really out of place. Damian spewed coke on them a few times.

So I've rolled through on minimal amounts of beer and strong coffees.. Going to head off to Hellingly mental asylum in less than an hour to take photos. Will update later if we don't get caught. Fuck the eclipse - Brighton needs more random excuses to get a bunch of wankers drinking and making unnecessary noise on the beach.
