Fucked Up - Gig #59 of 08

There seems to have been a fair few bands emerging this year with 'Fuck' in their name. Holy Fuck, Fuck Buttons and now Fucked up.
I basically only went to see Fucked up because my mates said that it would be the most mental show I have ever seen. What with that promise and the fact that they had 'Fuck' in their name, I didn't need much more convincing.
I failed to forward plan some blagging for a guestlist place so was subject to a whopping £8 door tax. I soon forgot the little amount of coinage left in my pocket when Fucked Up came on.
Right, I have been going to Clwb for over 10 years now (yes that is sad I know) and I have NEVER seen anything like it. People went nuts. We decided that it was mainly suppressed middle class students taking advantage of the opportunity to be violent in public without any repercussions (save for the odd shoe in the face).... but it was wholly entertaining none the less. I spent the entire gig with a stupid grin on my face as I witnessed people continually slamming into each other, climbing up pillars, crowd surfing and getting naked. It was relentless for the whole of the gig.

here is a photo of the singer of Fucked Up during one of his many adventures into the crowd and onto the tables.

And here is some poor fat kid who was wasted and thought it to be a winning idea to take his top off and climb on the tables too.
The hand copping a feel in this photo is Ash's :)


This kid provided the most entertainment of all. He firstly dived head first, half naked over the chairs and ended up being stuck in between a table and a bench. People in the crowd had to try and pull him out. AND then, when you thought he had no more dignity left to lose, someone in the crowd pulls down his keks and he was stood bollock naked in front of everyone! haha. AND THEN we witnessed him in the pit at the end holding on to the pillar for dear life looking like he was having a kip. Time of his life!

Ace gig. Thoroughly entertaining. I left absolutely buzzing.
