Fuckin' rock mate. Fuckin' rock. Predictable opening, but it sums up a
TISM
gig nicely. Tonite was very good. A slightly depleted crap-list meeting
at
the RSL, but nonetheless one full of top blokes (and Owen's very cool
ex-girlfriend [?] Becky). Mitch was there. Steve/Orange Thing was
there.
Justin from Melbourne was there. Owensey was there (surprising really,
as he
hates TISM). Coxy was there. Mic from Coffs Harbour turned up as we
were
leaving and we said hi (seems like a top bloke from the couple of words
I
said to him). I don't know how I could, but inevitably I've forgotten
someone (keep in mind we saw Paul Mac, Vaughan, Emma [Coxy's
Girlfriend],
Michael [Seymour Butts], Mic/Fleur and inevitably others I've forgotten
once
again). No signs of Rob McInnes (Chumpy) nor Ryan.
Good gig. Same set as last Friday apparently. Defecate Country Version
is a
fucking genius opener. Ron was in very fine form, getting in to the
crowd
within a few seconds and running around. He also kept stealing a
security
guy's beanie (the same security guard that JSP passionately mouthed
'fuck
you' and gave both fingers to). Overall a top gig, not the best
(Homebake
'02 was in my relatively limited experience). Fucked all over the Metro
gig
last year, which was shit. I'd say tomorrow nite will be even better.
Can't
wait. My love of TISM has, unsurprisingly, been rekindled.
The Crappers up the front went backstage briefly, saw the guys
un-masked
(who would have guessed what they looked like? Not me. I know I
shouldn't be
surprised at their de-masked state, but I was. Not a bad-looking bunch
of
blokes really!). Met a High Court Prosecutor named Hugh who will
hopefully
join the list too. He's been a fan since '85. His mate was a good bloke
too,
but I've forgotten his name unfortunately.
Then we headed home. Liked it. A very good nite out.

Fucken Rock indeed.
Much better than last year, Ron getting in some crowd involvment in the
very
first song. Beats having them tired and hungover like last year. A lot
of
crappers didn't show up at the Rissole, then us crappers assumed the
position front and centre of the stage, and didn't move for the rest of
the
night. The bad thing about being right up front means you miss getting
caught up in the scrabble for the old uniforms, unless you get
coat-hangered
like I did by the white foam guy with the tassles! As Anton said it was
the
same setlist as last week, in fact I have it right in front of
me(thanks to
owen for giving me the other half!), but can't be fucked writing it out
as
it was written last week.
That security guard who lost the beanie was a goose anyway. It was
quite
funny watching his facial expressions when ron jumped on the fence
again,
this time with the beanie on his head. The poor fella thought he would
never
see it again.
The backstage experience was, well...cramped. The backstage bit at the
Metro
was as big as a bedroom, so not much room to move, but it was good yet
also
odd to see TISM unmasked. The strange thing is that when they don't
have the
masks on you don't want to talk to them. It was also my first
interaction
with Humph, who does think that it was crazy that the Defecate single
sold
for $400 the other day. He agreed that it would be time to sell out and
cash
in on the gravy train that is rare TISM stuff.
Now it is time to back up and do it all again. Tonight should be
better, the
last TISM show of the tour. I wonder if they'll pull out any surprises.
I
still think that Aussiemandias would be the song of the moment at this
present time in the world. I'll see you Sydney crappers later on.

At Friday's concert, they did the usual thing and
threw their old uniforms into the audience during
their second take of defecate. The guy next to me
fought for the one that landed near us...and he fought
hard. No one was going to get it off him. After about
30 seconds, everyone else gave up and he stood up with
a satisfied smile on his face. Then he just threw the
uniform over his shoulder back into the crowd.
