EBGB’s and Jacaranda, Liverpool
I am big fan of self-depreciation and the lowering of expectations to all the more be pleasantly surprised when anything goes right or is good, so it’s great to report that Crapfest did exactly NOT what it said on the tin. The theme stemmed from its founders, the anarchic Wirral two-piece of the Crapsons setting up a gig of friends, established band connections, and any excuse for a party.More
Ah ha! Everyone’s favourite junkyard pussies Salt The Snail have slam-dunked this little beauty this morning…
Maaate has been a staple part of their chaotic live shows for a while now, and it’s a real treat to get it out in the pubic [sic] domain.
Depicting life through their shit-tinted glasses while on mushrooms (as is the norm in killing fields of Widnes), Maaate is simply lyrically inspired… ‘They want you to all clap along to their trite derivative songs, but when it comes to watching other bands they’ve all packed up and gone home.’ – That hits the nail firmly on the heads of the twattish bands that do exactly that.

There’s a video to accompany out next month… Can’t waaait…
There must be enough material for a Salt The Snail album by now…. PLEASE…!!?!
What a weird evening… I wake up in bed to find Liverpool one nil down at half time, get up, decide to head into the badlands of Rhyl to see some live music… See the said live music and get back to my quilted sanctuary by 11pm…!More
Well, what can I say… I was pre-warned about booking Salt The Snail (in a good way). Their live shows are a maelstrom of anarchy, slap-stick and a barrage of tunes. This live session was no different and I can honestly say I know no record of a band actually starting a song live on the radio only to stop it to take a phone call for a pizza delivery to the studio! Add also when the singer takes out the drummer with a flying kick during the last song and you might get half the picture!!
Anyway enjoy the session – I certainly did..!
