In other news not much, things seem to be winding up for the next Maelstrom event, and I really should get my costume finally polished up.
Well not really polished, just tidyed up and tweeked and stuff.

Otway at the top of the list? Hurrah! You obviosly have friends with good taste (or just a bunch of old punk wierdos)

[wyrdreddragon.livejournal.com]

and It just so happens that I too was an Otway fan when he was still a one hit wonder, I just couldn't afford the t-shirt at the time.
Pretty gutted to have missed him last time he played here though.
The man doth rock, on his own, with Richard, or with his band
WE-EVIL!!!

Maelstrom

Eeep! I need to get my boots resoled, stitch some snap-fasteners on my shirt, practice some undead make-up, and decide if I want a wig or not.
And catspur hasn't even started on our swords yet.

Otway at the Royal Albert Hall- "Now I'm going to play my hit. *Plays really free* Now I'm going to play my other hit. *Plays Bunsen Burner*" I naturally was into him before he became slightly less not famous. Have you heard the rock opera he did with Attilla the Stockbroker?

[wyrdreddragon.livejournal.com]

the only thing I've heard and got by him and Atilla is the stunning version of 'You Aint Seen Nothing Yet' with german translation.
Stunning.
I first heard about when watching a program many many moons ago about a comedy/music festival called 'Weekend In Wallop' amongst Rik Mayall and Alexie Sayel was John Doing his version of 'The Green Green Grass Of Home' And of course his appearence on the Young Ones.
But it was only when I went to see him a few years ago at our local club when told about it by a long term fan, that I really started to appreciate just what an incredible character he is. Not to mention a really really nice bloke.
Then he came back with Richard on the tour where he did the survey to find out which one of his songs the fans wanted to be the B-side and A-side of his new hit that his fans had promised him on his 50th.

I once saw him stagedive off a ladder. The rock opera's Cheryl, the story of a donkey. It's still avaliable off the Atilla website.

[wyrdreddragon.livejournal.com]

Yeah he does that at most gigs I think. He once got Richard to headbutt the microphone at the top of the stepladder, can you guess what song they were playing?
And as for his rendition of 'Blockbuster' on his twin necked guitar, there really is no end to that mans talents. Who else would put a Theramine solo into a tune?

*Smug*
Saw Attilla and The Barnstormers (Medieval Punk) followed by Otway & his big band this year at Glastonbury
Both hits, and several stagedives, both with and without stepladder. National treasures both all them.

"There is a House" "WHERE"
"In New Orleans" "WHATS IT CALLED"
etc. etc.
