Gig at the rising sun k road

[oota goota]

Hi all might be a bit off topic but my band ' rumple and stiltskin' is playing at the rising sun (373 k road) at about 9pm- ish friday June 11th.

It is our habit to play in costume and this gig it's STORMTROOPERS! I am busting out my paintball outfit to see what it's like to play a gig in. We will no doubt record it so I will paste a link here too.

Our band is drums and bass and is what happens when punk meets drum and bass meets dr seuss

cheers

Cool man, if I was in Auckland I would love to come along! DnB is definately a bit of me, plus Stormtroopers to boot... awesome. Hope it goes real well mate, and I'd love to see some footage!

Sounds awesome Jon - do post pics

Thanks Will thanks Matt. Yeah it's going to be a good laugh. The band we are supporting has no idea what we are going to do so I'm sure a few jaws will drop.

we had a dress rehearsal my poor drummer mate Pete completely dehydrated after 45 mins! Our stunt suits are damned hot but well suited to a drum kit/ bass etc etc

I'll post some stuff next week

here's a couple of pics of dress rehearsal today. The stunt suits are AWESOME for drumming.

I'm on bass and yes I know it looks like I'm just bloody standing there but I am actually playing the imperial march with some vigor I tell you!

Well my ears have stopped ringing and have recovered from beer and glayva. We had a great time and a really fun gig. That one is going to be a tough one to beat costume wise.

The suits looked pretty legit under lights, people who asked were suprised that it was foam and vinyl.

here's a couple of pics. Just got to reco the suit a bit for Hansagan then game on for the film

Nice one, dude!

Thanks Matt yes much fun and hilarity had by all. We will bust them out for another gig later on I think. Anyway back on to the main project! I am hoping to make alot more progress this week, try and get alot more forms done if not accurised.

That's awesome!! I would've loved to have seen that spectical

Being a bit of a drummer myself, I can't imagine how hard it would be doing a gig dressed like that. Legend!

thanks Bazzack yeah man Pete was amazing we were pretty hot under those suits and one of our tunes gets up to 190 - 200 bpm I can't believe he pulled that off!
