Rhyl may have recently experienced a mass desertion on the punter front, but it didn’t show tonight, with The Stilletoes stamping back into town, they manage to send a seductive punk pulse around these sullen streets by thrashing their instruments to death. Here is a young band that are going to be there and do that before any others in the area are going to have been there and done it. They mean business in this mean business, but by fuck are they gonna have fun on the way.

A lazy review and attempt due to lack of memory and what not but hey. Penrhyn Old hall is generally full of kids with minds that seem to close towards bands other than Lantern playing, and it was still apprent that the mast majority of people in the venue would stay away from the stage area (which is seperate to the bar etc for those who dont frequent pen old hall) and focus on the social part of the night, their loss because they missed some awesome bands this night.

Bands played Carpet, Lantern, Junebug, Jacobi, Entity, Skunkfish, Deus Ex Incendia, Bastard Map
Dominic Tanner of Jacobi (pic above) says, ‘This was originally GET OFF THE INTERNET festival, with 80′s Matchbox, Frank Turner, Lightspeed Champion, ThisGirl etc but the fact it was in Wales basically cemented it’s own death. so we cancelled it, gave it to Gary Skunkfish to sort out and just kept it as a load of local bands. Great bastard fun.’

After the shennanigans at the recent Hendre Hall all dayer, and a lot of message board goading between Der Bomber & Lantern, the organisers of Denbigh’s Pigstock Festival issued this statement.
In the light of recent events at Hendre Hall on Sunday 24th July involving Der Bomber, Pigstock organisers have decided to withdraw their offer to Der Bomber to play at Pigstock 2005. Regardless of any mitigating circumstances that may have occurred on the night the Pigstock organisers unanimously feel that the actions of certain members of Der Bomber at Hendre Hall were totally inappropriate.
Pigstock would like to thank Der Bomber for their support at the recent fundraiser, prior to this regrettable incident. This decision has been based on events witnessed first hand by two of the six Pigstock organisers and does not in any way reflect on the bands musical abilities.

There was this new lad who turned up at a place I used to work. He’d got a job on the shop floor like the rest of us, which was unusual cos most new employees started off in the warehouse and would be promoted to the shop floor after he’d served his time and if he was any good. None of us liked him; he was cock sure of himself and we didn’t like the fact that he was earning the same money as us when he was still wet behind the ears.
‘How come he can walk into this job, when we had to slog it in the back there to get here today?’ We’d cry.
The same lad went onto to become an area manager for the same company within a very short space of time. We still didn’t like him, but it was more through envy than anything else.
Sound familiar?
