I may as well steal my own review of last nights Spunge gig at the Charlotte, Leicester that I wrote for Bone’s Photo Hole (new members always being accepted!).

I shoulda missed the first 2 bands (since I coulda watched Newcastle win 4-0 on TV), they weren’t really my thing (I don’t link repetitive shouty punk) but Cousin Joey picked things up a bit with the kind of music that made me feel as if it was 2002 and I was in Whitehaven Civic Hall. Spunge were their usualy selves, a butt-load of fun, they whipped the crowd into a skanking fury, which was no good for my infamous toes, but I still had a good time. The new stuff was slightly disappointing, they had a song called ‘Emo’ that I can’t decide whether it’s a joke or not, cos the only time you’d here the words ’spunge’ and ‘emo’ would be in the following sentence. Spunge are not emo. This just reminded me how I lost my Spunge t-shirt from the first time I saw them…..wonder where it went.

Kinda wish I’d left the cool looking Rushmore post up for a bit longer…. ah well, onwards and upwards.
