So, last night, Negative Approach played the Drunken Unicorn, and it was awesome! They broke up in '84, so I never got to see them, and thought that I never would. It was well worth the 30 year wait- it's fuckin' Negative Approach. Some people might argue that it's not really NA, since the only original member is John Brannon, but NA is one of those bands where the singer IS the band, and as long as the guys behind him are playing the right notes, it's Negative Approach. And damn, did they play the right notes. It couldn't have been any better, and they played all the great NA songs (they may have actually played ALL of the songs since their legacy is one LP and one 7"), plus they did an awesome cover of Borstal Breakout. I didn't much care for the first opening band and spent the time they played their short set in the bar. The second opening act was the Bukkake Boys, a local Atlanta band that I had never seen. They were a pleasant surprise, playing an excellent set of angry hardcore songs reminiscent of early Poison Idea (Pick your King era PI). I picked up their LP to add to my record collection, and it's pretty sweet, clocking in at under 15 minutes for 12 songs. Now I gotta try to track down their first 2 EP's. Here's a few shots of NA playing....
The guy that I did the St. George tattoo on recently came back, so I got a good healed pic of that.
That's it for now. I'll find something to bitch about soon....
