GIG REVIEW: HIGHTOWER BREAKBEAT EXPLOSION

So I went along to this last night with my old House Captain.

"I THINK I SAW YOU THERE"

Great, thanks for not saying hi.

I have been a massive fan of HBE ever since their first album, in fact before that when they were just thinking of forming a band in the future. From the opening number the whole band was fucking arresting, lead singer Garry Jackets working the stage from all angles, prancing up and down like a prancing pony. The rest of the band looked like a finger puppet in comparison.

Midway through, things turned up a notch when drummer Chico Chickles launched into a vicious unprompted solo. It didn't stop, it didn't even let up, even though people were screaming at the top of their lungs. I think something lit on fire, I don't know, I was actually hypnotised. Fuck, that Chickles sure can play the drums, which is suitable as this is his chosen profession.

A regular feature of HBE shows is the medal ceremony where the members hand out awards to the crowd for attending. This took fucking ages, but it really made everyone feel like they were part of something. I myself received a medallion for 'Total Excellence'. Unfortunately some dick monster mugged me of it on the way home - Note to venue organisers.

I managed to steal a setlist, check it out:

1. GO FOR THE VICTORY
2. KEEP GOING FOR THE VICTORY
3. VICTORY IS OURS


'By the Power of Grayskull, I resemble He-Man'

STREET JUSTICE: THE MUSICAL

Opening Song and Dance.

Corey Twenty-Fingers:
(mezzo forte)
What will become of our little ole gang?
When are we going to fight those evil Jets (or whatever)
I've got a big wood with a nail in it,
Those dudes are completely fucked - I will stick it into one of their heads!

CHORUS

STREET JUSTICE!
Oh yeah it's - STREET JUSTICE
Holy Fuck it's - STREET JUSTICE
An honour based system of retaliatory violence

Colin, A member of the infamous Jets, comes around the corner.

Colin:
(A rich Baritone)
Hey Corey Twenty-Fingers, guess what?
Last night I fucked your mother and your sister - and your dad.

HE IS PREGNANT,

CHORUS

STREET JUSTICE!
Oh yeah it's - STREET JUSTICE
Time for some good ole fashioned STREET JUSTICE
This will probably end up with both parties hospitalised, wounded.




I'm still working on this shit. It's probably at what I'd call 'final draft stage'.
