I'M DANNY BANGER FROM PIZZA TRAMP!

Updated: Mar 17, 2021

Saturday saw us make a triumphant return to doing what we do best. Maximum Effort fuckin Clobberin Time innit!

With Craig still off god knows where drinking in the sun, we enlisted our 5th Wheel on the bass, the one and only Gav from FACE UP!

We arrived at the OH CANCER, UP YOURS all dayer in Tamworth at a crazy venue / social club. I'd never played a place like this before, so was a bit nervous what to expect. Once we'd loaded in and got all the passes sorted, we set up the merch in the venue and had a look around. It was a bit Pheonix Nights, but was really cool, the bar staff were loving it and the locals were a bit bemused at all the smelly Punx going about, but the atmosphere was friendly in the warm autumn sun.

As this was a Macmillian fundraiser, the ace people who do a fucking brilliant job were milling about, sorting the raffle and doing the door.

Unfortunately, we got there a bit late to see TIN FISH, but am told they did great, SAD SALLY where in full flow once we'd finished fucking around and where sounding great as usual. Fast paced sing along skate punk with added digs at singer Jordans mom. You need to check out this hard working band,

Next up where DEAD MOB who mashed the place up as usual, the little buggers, The whole place checked them out and fucking loved it.

Up next came our mates HEALER OF BASTARDS, probably the tightest band on the scene at the moment. These guys do it properly and have hearts of gold.

Once they'd finished killing the place, the muvvafuckin LEECH BLEEDERS hit the stage at a rate of knots. Old singer PHIL BLANC had been re-hired for the day and won a curry gift voucher. Worth travelling from Austria for the gig. Ace band of mentalists.

Then came your friendly neighbourhood SUCKERPUNCH. We'd had one practice with Gav and he utterly smashed it up. The sound was ace and we fucking went for it mate. Think we made some new friends! Neil even managed to get a photo with Jeff from local heroes WOLFSBANE who was comparing the event, Fucking awesome haha!

Once they had got the raffle out the way, fucking FACE UP! won 365 beers, I've never seen them so happy. Think its all gone now.

PIZZA TRAMP did some media with MPRV, then fighting a hangover that would kill a pig, went full fucking throttle. We all know they're brill.

Headliners FACE UP! then ended the night with SUCKERPUNCH's Neil on stand in guitar, repaying the favour, The SP -FU! in-breeding continues, and they brought the house down, playing a lot faster than normal and running about the place more than normal. Amazing what winning a pallet of beer can do to you innit?

OH CANCER, UP YOURS was a fucking scream. Really well organised by Paul and Pol and everyone had a brilliant day raising over £1000 for MACMILLAN. STAGEDIVE PHOTOGRAPHY did a fucking great job as usual as well. Top effort to everyone involved. UP THE PUNX!!
