The Fight Back also played this gig but I didn't take any shots of them as I already had about 200 photos of them. I remember Mark played a lot of their set with his trousers round his ankles though.
Ben Cozine kicked it off and were pretty good, hardcore with jaggy bits and bobs.

Abandon Ship nearly didn't happen as their van packed in somewhere on the way up. They got picked up or towed or something as they eventually got to the venue and then blew the place apart. Ferociously energetic and extrodinarily happy (although it might of been rising hysteria as that was the tour fucked and they didn't know how they would get back to Brighton), the crowd danced and sang along (check Rodi and Potter duetting on Black Flag) and a jolly good time was had by all. They got coerced into playing about 3 encores of a few songs each time as well with guitarist taking vocal duties for a bit too. Amazing band, sadly now split up.

Trip home banter: discussing vegetarianism in hardcore and punk these days as opposed the 80s. Well when I say discuss it was more berating Potter for being a carnivore and that he should listen to more Conflict and that. Played a lot of Good Clean Fun as well with a lovely sing along in the car as we went through Perth...
