THE STATE #1

If you're terribly lucky - and most of you aren't - then you may have received an issue of 'The State' at an AP gig. For those who are yet to have the pleasure I'll fill you in. Every now and again when one or two of us are extremely bored in the hours leading up to a show we whip out the Pritt-Stick™, a copy of the Sunday supplement and our felt tips and get to work. I found this one one the floor of my room yesterday and realised that if I didn't put it on the internet soon all the 25 copies made would be lost and our grandchildren would have no way of knowing what kick-ass guys we were. This one was distributed at the now fabled Bar Aquarium show which ended with us homo(auto?)-erotically wrestling the promoter and breaking his microphones* as he tried to kick us off stage.

Apparently we were 'effectively booed off '. In my opinion any audience that can't literally boo a band off the stage deserve whatever drunken incompetence is served up to them in the guise of music. Don't worry though, that guy ended up with some serious messages on his answer machine later that night. Punk's not dead, it's balance is just low.
