talking about Davo, the gig he did at the Gluepot with late lamented Go-Between Grant McLennan was one of the more surprising acts I've ever seen.
it should have been bottled really.

wasn't that the Femmes gig at His Majesty's? otherwise they were cursed - the problem at HM was the planks covering the orchestra pit were flexing and bouncing around big time. they were more for appearance sake than functionality and covered a yawning abyss and concrete floor. some jobsworth tried asking everyone to back up and stay away from the front of the stage...bwahahah, nice one centurion.
-
oh, and just remembered the possibly overblown story of Chris Knox giving Henry Rollins some from the stage as he was supporting the steriod-munchers spoken word gig at the Silo (?).
apparently - I didn't see the end result - Rollins didn't take the banter in great spirit, hoisted Chris off the ground and pinned to him to a wall while advising him not to do it again.
fair dinkum?

volume-wise, the Ramones at the Powerstation would be mine. Insanely loud, you couldn't even make the out the kick and snare - it was like having your head inside a full-spectrum noise generator with tiny breaks every two minutes which were exactly long enough for 1-2-3-4 and away they went again. there's a point where it stops being sound and all you sense is a rattling sensation.
mystifying really, but we jumped around all the same. god only knows what they played...
having said that I have to admit I used to find that buzz in your ears when you finally crashed oddly pleasurable.
funniest crowd interaction had to be the pissed-up plonker who tried to start an argument with Jello Biafra about vegetarianism...and the Fits gigs at the Gluepot when everyone was smitten with Pee-Wee Herman's Big Adventure.

I need a new desk, my forehead has done for this one...
