All dayer including our

here. An all round good time had by all, although the door staff wouldn't
allow anyone in without I.D. which affected the turn out. A mad dash at the

11 October 2006. Brighton. The
Engine Rooms.
Constant State of Terror were playing support to Kylesa and gawd bless their
little cottons if they didn't blag us onto the bill when a slot became available.
Very last minute but we offloaded some anger and stress. We also learnt a lesson.
Never listen to the sound engineer when they tell you to turn down on stage
so they can "control" the sound. Keep it loud and keep your band autonomous.
If the sound engineer knew what we sound like they'd be playing for us.....
6-10 September 2006 tour with Flyktplan. Southampton. Bristol. Leeds. Boston. Brighton. Full write up here .Photos here.
24 June 2006. Southampton. King
Alfred.
A cracking gig this one. We kicked off the night like a finely tuned tractor
which went down well with the Pompey and Bournemouth punks who probably made
up most of the audience. It was hot! Social Parasites did their thing like only
they can, complete with Luke's usual abusive banter and "I don't sing this
song so I'm off to the bar". Finally Inner Terrestrials took to the floor
and got the place dancing in what is probably the best gig the Alf has seen.
The floor was bouncing a good 'un. Quality night out......And we made £140
for Southampton hunt sabs.
17 June 2006. Brixton.
We descended on Scumfest at the Grosvenor. Day 2 of a 3-day punk rock
festival featuring plenty of quality bands. We kicked back in the afternoon
at the pirate gig on Clapham Common watching Death From Above among others before
hooking up with the mighty Ghurka at the venue. The line-up ended up as Kismet
HC,ourselves, Filthpact, Ghurka and La Fraction. A big cheers to all the Brixton
Scum people for their hard work. The gig made £150 or so for the Lecce anarchists.
see the flyer
here
28 May 2006. High Wycombe. The
Roundabout.
So many bands we can't list all of them but they included The MIngers, Crash
The Pose, Worker & Parasite, Trainwreck and Fighting Shit. A great gig and
a big thanks goes out to Eddie and Cheryl of Passout Promotions for sorting
it out. The thing that got us really excited was the fact that we were able
to purchase vegan friendly curries AT THE PUB! Booze, vegan nosh and punk rock
all in the same building. Does it get any better?.....
9 May 2006. King Alf...again.
The mighty power of Anaeroba and Death Mold was preceded by us breaking strings
and making an unholy racket. Which is what we do best. A record string change
meant the set was still over in a flash. Great atmosphere among the people who
were at the gig.
29 April 2006. The Oval. SOGAT
House.
A benefit for North & East London sabs in an excellent squat venue. Social
Parasites played as well. 3 of us had to disappear at midnight - minutes after
we had played - to get the train back so we never saw any of the other bands.
They made £300 for the sabs though so all good. Another 2 new songs saw
their live debut.
11 March 2006. Boscombe Neptune's.
Yet another birthday gig (we are available for weddings too......if you are
getting married in a ditch). 9 other bands including Demonick Upchucks, Social
Parasites, Stand-Ins, Roadents, Haywire and Spitroast played. Probably too many
hours drinking for both the bands and the crowd resulted in a top day out. First
outing for a new song "Tierredad del Muerte". A few pics from that
gig are on the pics page.
Saturday 21 January 2006. Southampton
King Alf.
This bash was a birthday gig for Luke of Social Parasites. It also raised over
200 quid for local hunt sabs. We went on first and played our fastest set yet,
concluding with a special birthday version of Discharge's "State Violence
State Control" in honour of Luke. The evening progressed into chaos with
Social Parasites, Pilger, No Substance and Haywire completing the line-up. Some
lucky bugger won one of our demos in the raffle too!
Sunday 18 December 2005 Richfest Southampton King Alf. celebrating the coming of age of the godfather of the STE collective. Lots of bands played from across the South and even from Hollland(!) and a packed crowd at the King Alf enjoyed themselves. In honour of the birthday boy we covered BGK's "Arms race". A brilliant song that sums up our attitude towards those who sell weapons of death.
Saturday 26 Nov 2005. Southampton King Alf all dayer benefit for the scene PA. Well, the all dayer became an early starter. Lots of top bands played, of whom Worker & Parasite, Get Shred and Abandon Ship stood out. Isle of Wight youngsters Thought DK cooked up a storm. Punkasfuck. Shame they had to leave the venue as soon as they played cos they were underage. Mark managed to break his own drumkit and we had to stop between every song so he could tape up not only the split snare but the split bass drum. The boy hits hard! We still had a great time and finished the night off with a cover of "Somebody's gonna get their head kicked in tonight" and we chucked another 2 brand new tunes at the unsuspecting hardcore masses.
Thurs 24 Nov 2005 Southampton
King Alf. Zegota from the states who wowed the crowd and local lads Circus
Act who were on absolute top form. We were running round collecting the PA and
then setting it up at the last minute which put a dampener on our set, but otherwise
a top gig with another new song getting its first airing. Pics available here:

Mon 7 Nov 2005 we got to play Brighton Free Butt (try putting that in a search engine) thanks to those wonderful lads from Slaughterhouse 57. Locals Flatpig and Constant State of Terror both played blindingly. We missed the Bad Fucks cos we were stuffing our faces at Red Veg. And a good sized crowd for a Monday night too. Brighton is a town that still retains punk rock spirit.
Sun 30 Oct Bradford 2005. 1 in 12 Means to an End festival. What a top weekend. Chaos in the minibus. Loadsa great bands - more than can be listed, but including the mighty Oi Polloi and Visions of War. Saw a few faces we haven't seen for a while. We got there on Saturday, ate, drank and were merry. On the Sunday we witnessed the last ever Seven Arras gig. They were mighty angry. We got our turn later. Even later was Constant State of Terror. And even later than that was Pilger. South coast invasion!
23rd August 2005 we paid a visit to Reading's Kings Tavern to play a great line up topped with Finland's Hero Dishonest. Thanks to Pete for his excellent review: "All your other bands are better".
Sunday 14th August 2005 at TJs in Newport. A hunt sabs benefit with Tracey Curtis - top political folk singer songwriter, This System Kills, Bickel's Cab, Drongos For Europe and a load more. View flyer here. We had such a great time we decided to donate our petrol money to the sabs. Support direct action against animal abuse. Better still, take part (that's the direct action not the animal abuse, OK?)
We thought we were playing Plymouth punx piknik on 13 august but this turned out to be a vicious rumour that we were unable to confirm ourselves.
Fri 12 August 2005. Squat gig in London. With no electric, PA or backline we decided just after midnight to cut our losses and head back home, because it was a squat gig without the gig.. What did you do this Friday night? I drove up and down the M3. I don't get out a lot.
Fri 5 August 2005 The Central, Parkstone as part of Bournemouth Punx Picnic organised by Spit Roast, with a load of other bands including Short Bus Window Lickers. Complete chaos and a great laugh. We had to help dismantle the fire door. 2 people got sent to hospital and 1 was arrested.
15 June 2005 Joiners Southampton with Captain Everything. A bust string doubled the length of our set.. That was the string that broke the camel's back and the guitarist's bank balance as he was forced to buy a new guitar.
1 June 2005 played Winchester College of Art and Design with Among the Missing. Someone forgot to turn their distortion box up. What a plum, eh? Still, we were very very drunk.
Sat 14 May 2005 we were incredibly abusive at the King Alfred in Southampton with No Substance, The Plight and The Mingers. Thanks to a proliferation of polo shirts and a lack of hair we got designated as token skinhead band for the night.
We deafened people at Mr Smith's in Bournemouth in April 2005 when we blagged our second gig along with No Substance, Vext and Trend Abuse. Including playing a new song without any practices.
We played our first gig after 5 or 6 practices in March 2005 with Glasgow's finest The Process and locals the Nancy Reagans (now known as Gordon Gonad's Army) at the King Alfred in Southampton. 10 songs in 9 minutes. Crowd happy. The set has expanded since.....
