The UK Horrorpunk Rumour MillTake these as you will, all are unconfirmed but I have heard that they are possibilities for playing UK shows in 2009.Nim Vind Calabrese Michael Graves (although apparently he's doing acoustic-only shows at present - yikes!) |
||||||
| doc_horror |
even funnier! |
||||||
| MonsterMash |
 he's the horror Andy Warhol
|

It'd be amazing if Calabrese played here. Apparantly they're playing in Germany in the summer so if they don't come to the UK we'll probably go there. | ||||||

would be nice for mike to play.... i just wish he would stop doin these acoustic shows tho and get out his iceman and play some good old horrorpunk!
dont get me wrong, I liked his last couple of albums but his best stuff is when he was plugged into the mains! |
||||||
| MonsterMash |
yeah. have you heard the stuff he's doing with Marky Ramone? mostly Ramones covers apparently, although i've not checked it out yet | ||||||
| Calavera |
yea, its called marky ramones blitzkreig or somethin, they just played ramones songs, although I've heard one or two rumours that they played a misfits song or two at a random gig... not sure how much truth is behind it tho!
i was actaully pretty excited when i heard they were touring round europe, then cal realised, americans dont see the uk as apart of europe... gotta admit tho, i dont class the uk as europe, but when bands tour, i kinda expect them to visit us while there over on the continent |
||||||

It sucks when American bands forget that the UK is part of Europe when doing European tours, it sucks even more when American bands forget that Scotland is part of the UK when doing UK tours. | ||||||
| Calavera |
aye, tis annoying!
i can understand if their an independant band who cant afford to tour every last city when every fan lives (aka, blitzkids last uk tour) but when larger bands who are signed and rake in the dough, dont tour within an 2 hours drive of where u live, your left sayin, wats the point? |
||||||
| MonsterMash |
aye, depends where you live, though. most places that have bands (Birmingham, Manchester, London, Nottingham, Sheffield, Leicester) are within 2-3 hours of us, but that's cos we're in the middle of the country.
so if a band tours chances are there's going to be one show at least we can get to. you do have to be prepared to travel, though. but that's half the fun - rolling up at some scummy pit in a town you've never been to before and seeing people you know from all over the country who you only meet at these things. |

i spoke to bobby calabrese the other day and he said they have no uk dates planned they are going to play this one in germany and see how it goes and if all is good they will plan a uk tour | ||||||
| SpookySam |
Anyone going to Germany? Im probably not, we're going to the Pineda psychobilly meeting later that month. | ||||||
| MonsterMash |
doubt it - we're planning on doing Satanic Stomp and probably Psychomania so i think we'll be all germany-ed out after that. it was Stripe from Kreepers who told me he's been trying to book Calabrese - but i guess if the band don't want to play the UK it ain't gonna happen.. |
||||||
| SpookySam |
I'll put em on if they come. We're doing Satanic Stomp too, and Psychomania if we have the money. Theres a lot going on this year! |
||||||
| MonsterMash |
yeah, it's gonna be a good year! i think im gonna run out of holiday from work trying to do everything, but i definitely want to do Satanic Stomp. |
||||||
| SpookySam |
I think that ones gonna be best. And the Sunday is my boyfriend's birthday! | ||||||
| MonsterMash |
cool, well maybe i'll see you there!
we should be going unless for some reason Vikki can't get the holiday from work. |
||||||
| SpookySam |
That would suck if she couldn't! We should all meet- hope that doesn't sound too gay. You two doing Bedlam? | ||||||
| MonsterMash |
lol yeah we're doing Bedlam. see you there? we'd have liked to come down the day before and see you and your Cowboys play, but i dont think we'll be able to cos we booked our accomodation well in advance (for cheap). |
||||||
| SpookySam |
Yeah we'll find you at Bedlam! Shame you couldn't come see us, hopefully there'll be plenty of other times tho! | ||||||
| MonsterMash |
here's hoping, you guys sound pretty cool so we'll have to try and make it to a show in future. you'll have no trouble finding us at Bedlam. i'm absurdly, freakishly tall. come and say hi. |
||||||
| SpookySam |
I think I'll recognise you & Vikki. Will be fun to meet some internet people in real life!
|
||||||
| MonsterMash |
i don't exist in real life. i just flicker in and out like the girl at the end of 'The Ring'...
bedlam's gonna be a blast though. where are you guys staying? |
||||||
| SpookySam |
Hehehe! We're in the Ibis. And you are in the Travellodge! I see it in my crystal balls.
And a new rumour.. Gwens asking people in her Facebook group if they want Blitzkid to play Newport. |
||||||
| MonsterMash |
it's good that you know what hotel we're in, because i'd forgotten! Blitzkid owe the UK scene a show, we keep buying their records, the least they could do is play here! ... and no im not just bitter because i missed Hell Nights due to my on colossal ineptitude (apparently you need a valid passport to travel to Germany - who knew?) |
||||||
| Calavera |
...yes, buy
but yea, it would be freekin sweet. I dont see why fiend force dont do a hell nights tour over ere, just a few would be nice XD |
