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.
