Electric Brixton 19th of may

[Schnabster]

The Venue: Classy, old style with a big chandelere in the ceiling, intimate yet big. Big minus for not giving people option to leave the venue for food priior to the gig, me an my mates came 1900, had plans of getting som snack after getting the stamp and taking a look inside, but was amazed when the security told us that if we left we couldn't get back inside again. Knowing that the only food I had inside was the sausage I ate in the pause during Spurs -Sunderland 2 hours earlier. Knowing also that the gig was estimated to last until 23 Iknew this could be a rough night, and that on a night where I should see the mighty Melvins! They didn't even have peanuts or chips!

The concert: Lysol kicked off, I was still thinking about the food situation, but gradually I started toknod my head to the music, behind the sound mix area. I saw on my mates that this was kind of odd stuff for them, but that didn't take away my childish amusement.

Break: We decided to see Houdini from the balcony and as we went by the stage heading for the stairs up I recognized Jules, still a bit uncertatin I asked "are you Jules", he responede yes and we hit it off instantly. He joined upstairs and could confirm that this was the first time he saw Melvins from a balcony.

Houdini: As we came up Houdini kicked off immediately and it was superb to see the band on stage, the frenetique double drumming and the psyched crowd in front. It got really aggressive during Hooch and Honey Bucket, and we could see Old Ernie being dragged in a maelstrom of wild people throwing each other about. (Went down to say hi to him after the gig but he was gone) Even my mates fancied this stuff better, Jens even filmed one sequence.

After the gig Jules and us went back to VictoriaStation where he should catch the traing to Hove and us to the nearby hotel. Me feeling aggressiv by the lack of food mellowed up when me an Jules sat down for a sandwich.

All inall a top night, would loved to say hi to more chaps but there are other opportunities in the future.

And this was Jules' 39th concert with The Melvins, impressive!Electric Brixton 19th of may
