Day 9 Bath

As a part of this tour we were added to the BOB festival with our pals the Grannies. BOB because it's bands from Bingen, Oakland and Bath, I'm not sure how central Texas fits in, but we were happy to play.

It was mostly heavy punk bands so by the time we went on and hit them with our act the folks were starving for something different and we delivered in a big way. Hickoids made a lot of new friends. I even had a woman tell me I was like Nicholas Cage if he was designed by Hal Heartly. I'm not sure what it means but she meant it as a complement...

Grannies were supposed to be right after us but they got bumped to the next slot and they had a hellacious set. Dean was wearing an old ladies suit with big, saggy boobs, a giant bush and a huge clit. Lovely. On the last song Sluggo jumped off the stage and smashed the shit out of his "new" epiphone. It was an incredible end to the end of the 300 years of punk rock tour. Two guitars down.

And then the sound guy started bitching. "Any band who breaks anything will be kicked out immediately". Umm... he broke his guitar not anyone else's. so there was about an hour of stupid drama, Dean and Sluggo apologized just to get that idiot to shit up, but he wouldn't. The security guys were called in an they started horse laughing at the sound guy. EVERYONE was saying the same thing, it's a punk rock show and he broke HI'S guitar. That's it, nothing else. What a lame little bitch.

After most of the drama was over we packed up the euro freak and headed out. We gave our Grannie pals some hugs and said goodby. We will have fun at our last show, but we are gonna miss them.

London tomorrow!
