Huge thanx to everyone who came along to last weeks SHOWCASE and witnessed an awesome night of punk rock from PEE bands BAD DAY DOWN, THE OPEN SEASON, THE RESTLESS WORDS and REMAIN OPPOSED. Big props to our guests LOST IN LINE for making the trip from Wollongong to tear open the show too! Only downer of the night was to have some complete arsehole steal the bands display t-shirts from behind the merch desk whilst we watched the guys play and our backs were turned. I hope you feel good about yourself when you're wearing the shirts you stole from small independent bands, who travelled so far and will probably have to sell at least 4 more shirts just to recoup the $$ you stole from them. There's a cunt in every crowd huh. Shame on you.
December 06
