Crikey Moses! This is Good Form Club's very first post. I've been putting it off for days, weeks, for nearly a month now and to be honest with you I don't know what to write, which ain't encouraging as I plan to post something every single day.I'll start with my memory of a gig I attended at The Bradford 1 in 12 Club not so long back. Saturday 6th September to be exact. Outlive Live put on the gig and playing live were Tubelord, Blakfish and Hey Panda.
Its all a bit hazy and my memory ain't what it used to be. The 1 in 12 club is of the social variety run by anarchists. They have a sporadic programme of events, sell veggie food and sell cheap booze. Budvar and Okocim are both £2 for 500ml. bargain. Fucked Up played there just a month a go and the venue has every potential to host regular touring bands.
I arrived late (I had to go to the Beehive first to flyer) so I missed Hey Panda, which is a shame cos I like them. I've seen them a few times before and they put on a killer show, sometimes performing topless. They got disco - punk vibes a bit like The Rapture and are one of Halifax's hottest bands along with ABC Club and The Hornblower Brothers.
Next on the bill were Blakfish and all that I can remember about them that they were loud. Very loud. My ears were bleeding so much so that I went outside to phone the lady.
Headliners Tubelord pulled out of their previous date with Bradford so it was good to see them finally play in the city. The Kingston trio sound like they share similar influences with Hot Club De Paris with extra added balls in the sense that they have the whole stop, start, change of time signature thing but miles more hardcore. East coast style.
The night ended with me playing pool and drinking cheap Budvars with the guys from Outlive Live. I can't remember much else. Resolve!
