Rancid - The Garage, Glasgow, 1995

Was hanging out with Keren in the afternoon and she suggested going to see Rancid through in Glasgow for something to do, Swingin Utters were supporting too, aye cool let's do it.
So we hopped in her car and set off, dondered up to the Garage and were stopped from going in "Sorry it's sold out"
Really? Damn, never even crossed our minds we'd need tickets in advance. That's not how punk gigs work is it? Are you sure you can't just let us in, we won't take up much room like.
Nope.
So we milled about for ages not knowing what to do (think someone with a ticket had come through with us so we couldn't just fuck off home) and after a while the bouncer called us over.
"Just go in ok"
Cheers pal.
Unfortunately we'd missed the Utters but Rancid were just coming on.
They played a blinder too.
Also I got in a fight with some wierdo behind me trying to cut my hair with a knife part way through the set...
