The setlist for Cobweb club is here.
I caught a ride with Brigitte and Carly (from the Dark Shadows), and the awesome Will (who goes to all the punk gigs and clubs in Sydney). Just as we arrived, so did masses of other punters, and the place exploded with people and big hair! In the centre here is DJ Inksucker.
your the cutest thing i have ever seen.
Oh, I'm sure I'm not!! I love how our hair matches…there aren't that many aqua haired girlies out there 🙂
Ha ha that's right blame me! Shame there is no photographic proof that for a few minutes at least I was flanked by two-gorgeous-thirds of The Dark Shadows!
Haha..it was probably my misperception at the time since I was so trashed myself..but they did sms you asking where the club was, didn't they?
They did, but I think Joey was only wanting to say goodbye!
