Hobgoblin
This Friday
GARAGE PUNK ROCK NOISE TRASH GRUNGE
The Stay Sick Weekender started at the Hobgoblin, the filthy dive full of punks and weirdos, the perfect place for our trashy scuzz music. The Goo Goo Muck
was set up so we could play the hardest punk, grunge and rock we had
and to put on bands that we love. This time it was the turn of the Vile Imbeciles.
They played a contorted set full of gitter-grinding basslines and
spasmodic guitar licks held together by the growling melodies of
Huxley's vocals. The audience writhed in appreciation. They played
songs from their forthcoming album, 'Queenie is a Blonde'. We continues DJing till 2am with some hardcore rock'n'roll and plenty of drunken dancing.
The next day, through bleary hangovers, there was no option but to get back on it, and crack open a beer. Hectors House was full to capacity with the usual crowd in search of inebriation and intoxication. Rammed with a sweaty throng of leather-clad rockers and quiffed-up rockabillies. We played some 50s RnR and some 60s Garage and then it was time for the band. Radio City Riot
rocked and rolled the house down mixing rockabilly with punk. Not as
hard as psychobilly has become, they maintain the entertaining elements
that the Cramps initially created. The night was turning into its usual
dancing, drunkenness and debauchery. 2am, it was time to light up a
cigarette and stagger, homeward bound.
Hello Everybody,
Come along to the St James for a night of surf music and rum.
DJs Neil-by-Mouth and Blackleaf will be playing the sleaziest Surf and most intoxicating Exotica, Rhythm&Blues and Voodoo
grooves.
We'll have rum punches and cocktails for all.
It's all for FREE
So dust off your Hawaiian shirts an grass skirts and I'll see you from 4pm till late
July 27, 2008 ( 1 day) St James Tavern, St James Street, Brighton
After the mess we made and the
damage we did last month, Hector's House went to hospital. When they got there they were rushed into intensive care where they
were placed on a life support machine and treated for shock and trauma.
LUCKILY, they didn't die and so Stay Sick! is back but 2 weeks late due to the doctor ordering them to rest easy.
This month we'll be starting on FRIDAY 18th JULY at Hobgoblin with Goo Goo Muck and won't be finishing until the early hours of
Sunday. Maybe it'll be you in a hospital bed this time.
At Stay Sick! on the SATURDAY 19th JULY, we have the incredible RADIO CITY RIOT playing live psychotic rockabilly, so make sure
you bring your dancing shoes. As normal there will be us bad boys playing music your mum would hate as well as showing boobs
and B movies all night long. We've got the bar cheap again and we should have free pool if all goes to plan.
Don't forget its FREE FREE FREE so we don't want to hear your half arsed excuses FREE!
Sorry for the lateness but we are back from the grave with the rotting corpse of THE PHIL COLLINS THREE. This is their last
ever gig, recorded at the Freebutt.
Enjoy

GOOD MUSIC FOR BAD PEOPLE
ps. its my birthday so i want to see everyone there...
Hi everyone
I apologise for the lateness of this month's fuzzcast, I am just really busy at the moment. Bare with me and i will get it
to you as soon as possible
Stay Sick Brighton
Blackleaf
The
music was in the red, blasting through the bones of freaks
twisting
and gyrating to every distorted note. The heavy noise filled the room
arrogantly, the crowd danced uninhibited, all or societies inhibitions had been
stripped back by various exotic
intoxicants.
Psycho punks and weirdo drunks got fucked up and staggered in time. As the
night moved on to its messy
conclusion, a collective amnesia descended. I woke up on my sofa, eyes stinging
in the sharp sunlight, head throbbing, body aching with the familiar and
various pains of the morning after. I grabbed my sunglasses and stumbled to
work, trying to recall the fragments of the night- breaking up a fight,
complaints about the volume from the venue, hot
girls dancing on tables, drinking and djing, the taste of Stay Sick still
in my mouth. A friend of mine came into the pub still drunk. He recounted his
evening exploits, slurring and swinging his head as words fell out of his mouth
in deformed little lumps.
“I t-took freee valiumz before
gettttin’ ta Hectors”
“Yeah, I thought you were pretty
fucked up”
“Yeah, I woz, totally mash’d. I
managed to p-pull, though. This girl that’s bin interested in me fa a while. I
woke up the next day at her’s and I had pissed the bed. So’s I grabbed a bottle
o’ wine and left.”
He
then told me of how he realised he was in Hove and had to get across
town. He drank the wine, got into a fight and made it to the St James. “Had a great time though” he concluded as he stared vacantly through me. It
was a great night of trashy garage punk tunes and youthful
excess. Just 4 weeks to recover before the next one.
I have always
liked the Prince
Albert
as a venue for 3 good reasons:
1. It is close to
my house. I am like many people in Brighton,
I expect to be able to get to my destination within 10 minute, walking at a
brisk pace. This is why Hove seems way too far away (plus, they have
no cashpoints). We are spoilt for music in Brighton. Everyone we meet is either in a band, a
DJ, a promoter. We are bloated with the musical opportunities here. But we
ignore them and this lethargy is part of the problem a band/DJ/promoter has to
overcome. Before I moved to Brighton, I lived in Andover, a no place hole in Hampshire. This was
in 2000 and the local scene was still into brit-pop (which had died out at
least 3 years previously). I was in a band and there was 2 ‘venues’ to play at: the Wellington- whose resident band, Austen,
were a third rate Oasis (themselves a third rate Beatles, or do I mean
Ruttles?) and the George- a long corridor of a pub, where you had to walk
through the band to get to the toilets. Before the 24 hour binge licence we had
a choice of 3 places to drink after 11pm- Breakers- a bowling alley, Townmills- a
karaoke bar and Chaplin’s- a sweaty club full of drunk squaddies. Now fast-forward
to Brighton 2008 and we could see any kind of band, from a hundred venues any
night of the week, but if it is more than 10 minutes walk away we just can’t be
bothered. The Prince
Albert
is a mere 6 minutes away, tick.
2. The place is
has a small, intimate feel to it. With a reassuringly naff mirror ball
providing the light show. It is friendly and cool (it has a picture of John
Peel and a bit of Banksy graffitied onto the wall outside, nuff said). it has a
soul and a charm to it, tick
3. They seem to
have a great selection of bands from folk to blues to rock to metal, and the
place is always packed. The atmosphere is great and the crowd responsive. there
are other venues in Brighton were the audience stands back from the band and
inspects them from a safe distance, with a pint in one hand, never engaging
with the music. I have never seen a bad
gig at the Prince
Albert,
tick.
Which leads me
onto the real reason I started writing this…
I got to the venue
at around 7pm to set up my recording equipment and have
a chat with all the bands. The line up was Tripping Violet, Bijou! and
headlining, the Vile Imbeciles. James from the Vile Imbeciles had decided to
dress as The Joker, for little, or no reason.
The doors opened
at 8pm and the room started filling up. Tripping
Violet came on stage and started playing some balls-out trash-metal-grunge.
Danny screamed into the mic while his guitar screamed in pain though crushing
distortion. The bass had a fat clunkiness to it and Kirk punished the drums
with a feral passion. A year ago they were Trashsex Suicide and now they have
mutated and matured their sound but retained the noise of youth.
Bijou! took the
stage with Ritchie Vox (formerly from Mama Hoochie Bang!) on guitar and vocals.
He began the set accapella and then into the first track. They had the bounce
of Jump Blues and a little bit of Alternative Americana (sort of Pixies,
Pavement rather than REM) with the fire of Rock still burning through each
song.
Finally, it was
time for the Vile Imbeciles, whose disjointed death jazz stabbed the air like
the discarded syringes of the Birthday Party. The weird but wonderful sound of
a tight band playing discordant noises, a sort of anti-pop, filled the room. (More
on the Viles in a later posting… stay tuned)
The night was
rounded of by the sensational Neil-by-Mouth, best DJ in Brighton in the best venue.
May 02, 2008 at 08:00 PM ( 1 hour) Hector's House, Brighton
We invite all you sickos, freaks, rockers delinquents to get fucked up with us this Friday 2nd May at 'Stay
Sick!'
We will be getting drunk and playing records from 8pm till 2am at Hector's House, and all for FREEEEEE!!!!
Cheap drinks, so no excuses...
The posters were up, the flyers out, the word was on the street, there was a rumbling from the sewers of Brighton. All the misfits, punks, drunks, rockers, 'billies, psychos and lowlifes crammed into Hector's House for a night of good music for bad people. Projected on one of the walls was a flickering, grainy footage of the Cramps at Napa State Mental Hospital, a scene not dissimilar to the one unfolding. Cheap drinks, free pool and sick music always brings the freaks out. The goths and vamps
kept to the shadows and the corners, the punks kept to the
snakebite&black and the rockabillies kept to themselves. A thick
cloud of mayhem and menace hung in the air.
I played some tunes, 60s garage with a little 80s post-punk as breasts bounced playfully on the cinema screen. Mondo Topless
seemed to go down well with the crowd, and rivalries seemed almost
forgotten, all the factions drew together by the simple beauty of a bit
of boob.
The place was packed and it was time for Neil-by-Mouth
to take his turn in the DJ booth. a barrage of gritty sixties sleaze
blasted through the speakers, the Sonics, the Stooges, MC5 then the
Cramps, the Gun Club, the Ramones and original punk 45s. The passion
and anger of CBGBs was alive in the room. Greg Death took control of the decks and played some UK punk, filling the place with the fury of '77.
The band took the stage. Made up of Tom Riddle (from the Riddles) dressed in a leotard and a Ziggy Stardust belt, and Gavin Ga Ga
(from the Bulb Bash) in a smock, graffitied in slogans. His eye
make-up, more elaborate than usual. The keyboard player sported an
impressive moustache and stripy top in the guise of a French onion
seller. The drummer bashed the beats out with snarling brutality. The onslaught of noise smashed through the mob, shaking them up into a frenzy, spasming at every dagger of sound.
As the howling feedback drained away I started my set with a bit of Johnny Cash, some hard rockabilly and filthy rock 'n' roll, building up to some Aussie Rock; the Saints, Radio Birdman and the Birthday Party. The 3 of us DJs took turn to get drunk and play records.
The night was getting messy as the clock struck 1am, a couple of fights had been narrowly averted and a very drunk J had crippled himself by surfing stretched-Limos outside. By 2am
it was time to move on. Everyone piled into a car for the after show
piss-up for more music and merriment. I could neither hear nor see
straight and knew it was time for me to head off home, preparing myself
for tomorrow's hangover.
