SHEER TERROR UK WINTER WEEKEND PISS-UP!

REV.PAULIE - 12-25-2011 at 07:21 AM

Every ti me ST was supposed to play the UK,it fell through for a bevy of reasons. This is FINALLY happening,and we are VERY excited about it. The last weekend of January will help bring,not a closure,but a tie to everything that I grew up on. Over 30 years,Punk.30 years,Skinhead. ALWAYS,HARDCORE! I'm not going to lie,and say that a bit of the Anglophile in me isn't so sorted in having so many of my childhood hero's finally see me do what I do on their manor!!! I am!! Bringing my dear friend,Ziggy,with me to document the trip. D'ya think me traveling with a black guy will dispel any rumors? Probably,not! We're gonna have a friggin' great time,and spite all you fucks!! 'Want a proper fry-up for breakfast,a REAL pie & mash in a working man's caff,Samuel Smith's Imperial Ale on TAP (that might be not as easy as it sounds),and the cutest,most that's a bit of alright Skin byrd to fall in love with me...

I expect a lot.

REV.PAULIE - 12-26-2011 at 07:51 AM

I REALLY need to stop going online when I'm drunk....sheesh...

Six66Mike - 12-26-2011 at 08:24 AM

Sometimes drunk is the only way to take on the internet.

MattyA - 12-26-2011 at 09:19 AM

Have fun Paulie!

You fancy a half hour flight to dublin for a night?

JawnDiablo - 12-26-2011 at 12:05 PM

when you say document do you mean film?

awesome that you're finally getting to take those goddamn foreigners money......

mattybar - 12-26-2011 at 01:42 PM

My band Injury Time is playing the London show with you guys.
Knuckledust too. It will be messy.

I can't think of a Samuel Smiths pub near the Underworld but you're only down the road from Soho where there's a few dotted about.
There IS however a Brewdog bar that just opened around the corner from the Underworld.

Incidentally, The Underworld (the venue you guys are playing) is just up the road from where ST was supposed to play many years ago at the Camden Palace (which is now called Koko).

Hope you guys have a blast and everything goes well.
Thirty years... still enjoying it and as good as ever. Good for you Paul. You've EARNED every good thing that comes your way.

I'd love to go to England. I was there but only for about 1/2 a day a few years ago.

jcarter - 12-27-2011 at 12:05 AM

I'm looking forward to buying fat guy Ben Shermans. I don't think fat guy Fred Perrys exist...

REV.PAULIE - 12-27-2011 at 06:26 AM

My buddy Ziggy's going to photograph the trip...He took the back cover shot for the "SPITE"Ep...He's a friend for years,and took to photography in the past few...REALLY doing some stellar work...www.jammiyorkphotography.com ...If only I knew that all you had to do was buy a camera to get broads naked...Nah,stupid me writes songs,and scares 'em away!

Last night was near perfect. Save for the idiot yelling "bulldog" the whole set

BDx13 - 1-30-2012 at 01:41 PM

anxious for more reports!

sinister - 1-30-2012 at 06:44 PM

Was at the gig in Leeds last night and it was great. Not the best turnout in the world (under 100 by the look of it) but the boys put on a good show. Put it this way, I had about 4.5 hours drive each way and it was totally worth it to see ST at last.

BTW haven't posted on here in ages, good to see most of the familiar old names are still around.

BDx13 - 1-30-2012 at 10:20 PM

welcome back, sinister. thanks for letting us know about the show. 4.5 hour drive seems completely reasonable for sheer terror!

sentrand - 1-30-2012 at 10:24 PM

Well worth a 4.5 hour drive to see ST.

BDx13 - 1-30-2012 at 10:47 PM

you should know!

sentrand - 1-30-2012 at 10:55 PM

yup. would do it again.

mattybar - 1-31-2012 at 11:41 AM

i only saw the Deathskulls and Sheer Terror.
The Deathskulls smashed it but as they went on a few minutes after the doors opened, not many people saw them. To this day, I simply do not get why they aren't huge. They are, for me, the perfect mix of hardcore and punk.

I missed 33.

Injury Time set sounded ok from the stage. This was one of maybe two shows I've ever played in the last ten years or so where we actually people right up against the front of the stage and not in some 'fuck you horseshoe' with everyone clinging to the walls.

Stupidly missed Knuckledust as I was busy catching up with various people I hadn't seen in years. By the time I went to check them they'd finished.
I heard they went down a total storm though.

Sheer Terror were totally on point. There was a great vibe on stage and in the crowd. Played everything I wanted to hear. I was so excited during A Tale of Moran I can only laugh when I think about what I must have looked like haha!

A truly great night indeed.
