Feastock!

Nonetheless, nice work, good to see people getting out there and putting shows together. Best o' luck - I'd find it utterly hilarious if Brains turned up and played - I thought those guys were far too pretentious for environmental concerns / Dunedin / technique / songwriting... oh, wait, off topic...

for one tantalising moment I read this to say,

where else could you see JBT and TFF on the same billing

where JTB = Jae Bedford Trio. Not Jae bagging, but that's supergroup jam session that I really would be scrounging some money from my mates to get down to see.

[tommygunner]

hmmmmm...yes!!!! I stand corrected.....yeah, these bands played together at Feastock...and I also muddled some letters JTB....not one of Jaes ensembles.......the Jae Bedford Band/Trio showed no interest in RAWIII....anyway, I doubt we could have fulfilled their rider requests...

[tommygunner]

....also "Rock against whaling IIII'' should read ''IV''......i should also say that Dreich McCulloch will be behind the desk....

lol [fork] u, bitter [&*^%&$]
good luck with the show bru. i don't always agree with the sea shepherd's methods, although extremism is often the only way to get a point across, it does make it v. v. easy for yr opponents to paint you as psychos/terrorists/pretentious. that being said, i never agree with whaling, and it's admirable that yr making a stand. good stuff

Nice one DickFace, and well done Tommy Gunner for arranging such a good range of bands.

[tommygunner]

Thanks for your support MM !!!! If you can't make it this time we will look forward to perhaps having "Brains" at "Rock Against Whaling IV" Sometime in the spring....cheers,Craig

Rock against whaling Dunedin! Great news that Pete Bethune is free from the clutches of the Imperial Japanese Army of whale killers. Nothing against Japan as a country, but there are elements of Japanese society that need a harpoon up their own arse. have you seen the movie 'The Cove'?

[tommygunner]

Yes!!! I watched it immediately after "The Bridge On The River Kwai".

[blixa bartab]

... have you seen the movie 'The Cove'?

Wasn't it was the last thing Moko the dolphin watched before his suicide?

(I know, I've got to work harder and come up with a joke that's actually funny)

There is a bit of irony about 'The Cove' - while many of the butchered dolphins are left to rot, people who actually eat the meat are slowly poisoning themselves (and their kids) due to the mercury levels.

Of course, the whaling spokesman Glenn Dickhead might claim that any toxins are from 'eco-terroists' somehow spiking the cetacean sushi to poison innocent Japanese.

The word within Sea Shepherd, from Paul Watson's personal FB page, is that there is a replacement for the Ady Gil, just awaiting registration etc. The struggle will continue, so support RAW 3, and help stop the slaughter of whales in a whale sanctuary near you!

[te_chris]

and help slaughter whales in a whale sanctuary near you!

fixed. now where's my harpoon?!?
