EXCUSE ME PEOPLE - didn't you see the last post <really sad and depressed face, goes right here> WE HAVE A POTENTIAL RECORDING CONTRACT IN THE PIPELINE! Ok - now that I have that out of the way - life. Yes - life. uuuuuuuuuuuum - ok - I’m boring, what do you want. My life consists of Kickboxing, MMA, Gymming and the likes - it’s the band, a competition or three - a severe haircut and much cooking. What?!?!? You’re asleep cos I’m so boring - ok WAKE THE FARK UP PEOPLE (sorry mom)

THE BAND - holy mother of crap - we have been working our asses off - and because of this - we have been going all over the show. Now to you international people that isn't huge - but dammit - I'm coming from a 3rd world country - its bloody huge OK??  (Love you Donna and Mo) we have opened for a very well known South African band called Evolver. Wow what a bunch of c**ts. I hate that word - I really do. But they are.

Let me start at the beginning. Evolver - as I might have mentioned are a huge SA band - played on the radio (to the point of me wanting to attack the radio because they need new material) and we (as in the band and me - The Ragoo) got asked to open for them at a local gig. Man we were so excited - hell I was bouncing up and down like a jack russle on heat!! We got to the venue at 5pm on a sat - it was when we were supposed to be there for sound check aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand... NOTHING WAS HAPPENING!!! Bloody nothing. So we sat and waited - told all the relevant people who we were, what we needed to do like sound check) and sat. grrrr

At about 7:30 pm (after the doors were opened to the public) the sound arrived - people rushed from a - z setting up - putting cables together, making the noise people do when doing their job (I’m such a technical person aren't I?) and EVENTUALLY band #1 went on. Man - they sucked. All covers (bad covers) and they sat there for an hour and a half. You couldn't have budged them for all the money - they were bad) we were due on 3rd... We were called up right after band #1... why you may ask - because they took 1.5h (yes.. that’s right AN HOUR AN A HALF) to assault the crowd with their particular brand of crap (I am sorry if I sound harsh- but really - they blew huge chunks) and we got told - "move your asses you are on next - and if you are not off the stage by 10:20pm - then Evolver will not go on. It is in their contract - so move your arses!!" I’m sorry - but how hectic is that??? And might I say - what a bunch of wankers. Sheesh - they even went up to the organiser - while we were on stage, and said”they better be done soon, or we won’t go on"

THE WHOLE CROWD WAS THERE TO SEE THEM!!!!

Don't they remember what it is like to be at the bottom - starting and working your way up?!? Man how bloody sad.

We had the time of our lives that night. We had the crowd screaming like little girls at a Britney concert - alot of people said that through their behaviour - Evolver did nothing but damage themselves - and all I ask is that should my band and I get that popular, and I am NOT saying it will ever happen... then I hope to all things holy - that we get slapped down and fast by the people closest to us, and to the ones who have the most influence on us should we ever become such pricks!

Regardless - it was an awesome gig!! People want to sign us from it - so look out world - The Ragoo is coming!
