First out of town gig 2012!

Steele here...oh yayuh.

This weekend saw the very first 'Pout Escape Norfolk' gig of 2012, and a damn good time was had by all. Journeying down in the back of the Pout Bus with Titch the soundman at the wheel, Randii, Platinum, Satellites and Steele passed the time by doing (and spilling) copious amounts of 'sherbert', reading Nuts magazing and playing Eye Spy. Randii ended up winning because all of his 'Eye Spys' were based around hallucinations he was having, due to ingesting a few teaspoons of laundry detergent instead of his travel sickness medicine. Razzle decided to have a diva fit moments before departure and chose to journey down on his own, which was cool with us because he's shit at travel games and whines like a bitch when he can't play on the kiddie rides at service stations (the little ferris wheel is his favorite).

We arrived at the venue with mere minutes to spare before the party was due to start, because some asshole had decided to hold us up on the M4 by crashing their car into the barrier (probably a Mod). Luckily Titch had been on the Relentless in the van, so the stage was set up and soundcheck was underway in 20 minutes. After blasting through a little 'Piece of Me' to start with and a quick rehash of a requested 'Fallen Angel', we were cocked, locked and ready to rock. Then the birthday dude told us it was free Jagermeister at the bar and Satellites was gone in a flash, a Jeffie-shaped hole in the wall between the stage and the bar.

The gig was great and I managed to crotch-bump some chick and make her pregnant (she facebooked me yesterday to tell me, but I blocked her). Then after the show we all got retarded drunk on free booze and high on Ginsters in the parking lot. Highlights of the show were the audience throwing home-made 'I Love PATD' thongs at us during the encore and Marco shouting "WALL OF DEATH" during the intro to 'Here I Go Again', because he's a fucking drunk.

The journey home was long and arduous, and I fell asleep on Titch whilst he was driving. Lucky bastard. Marco and I shared the front seat whilst Randii and Jeffie fucked in the back went to sleep lying down on beds in the back of the bus like a pair of fags. We got back to Norwich at 4.45am and Platinum and I hit the strip clubs, but they were all closed so we went to Karma Kafe and did blow in the toilets whilst being sick.

All in all a great gig and an awesome time on the road - catch you all at the Brickmaker's on April 6th!

What Razz thinks about onstage.....

Word. To ya' mutha.

Been talking to somebody and they asked what we think about (apart from not screwing up) when we're playing gigs. Well. I have a fair idea what Dirk Steele is thinking about whilst on stage, whereas I, have some of THE most random things pass through my tiny little brain when we play gigs. 

I have the exact same thoughts at the exact same time during certain songs. I cannot explain why this happens, but it does EVERY TIME! I require the intervention of Derren Browne to explain. I will list the songs we play, and the strange thoughts that pass through my mind.....

You Give Love A Bad Name - At the very start of the song, a memory of being on a zip line in Mundesley, when I was about 12, flashes through my mind.

Holy Diver - As the song goes to the repetitive fade out section, I have a thought that I am parking in Waitrose car park, and I need to buy some onions.

Up All Night - As we go into the guitar solo, I always have the same image that I am driving past Bonds in Norwich, with Mecca Bingo on the right hand side of the road.  Followed by that bit out of Shawshank Redemption when Brooks feeds a maggot to the bird in his pocket.

Girls Girls Girls - Picture driving past The Bob Carter Centre in Drayton.

Here I Go Again - I picture the entrance to the Rainbow Bar And Grill in Los Angeles, where they sell the t shirts.

Lips N Hips - Start of second verse, me picking up a Chicken Madras off the shelf in ASDA.

Nothin' But A Good Time - I'm turning round in my car, in the entracnce to that graveyard on Longwater Lane in Costessey (something I have NEVER done)

Plus many many more. Does anybody else suffer from this?? Can anybody offer an explanation? Or am I just crazy??


Yours confused - edly

Pout on TV!

Steele here, check out this killer pic I just took of a TV I saw in a Radio Shack:

 

That's us on the tube, bitches. On the left you will see Jeffie Satellites burning like a motherfucking flame across the fretboard, with Randii LAMOW rolling out the thunder in center frame. I'm on the right, but I'm so quick that I'm a total blur, like a goddamn hurricane of awesome.

This past weekend has been pretty killer, with a sold-out show at the Lady of the Lake in Oulton Broad and a Glam Battle to the Death at Norwich Quasar. Turns out we all suck at blowing each other up in a dark room, but it's okay because we rule at being blown in a dark dressing room after a show. This weekend we all put our johnsons inside the moist chamber that is the Hog In Armour's upstairs function room, where we will be erupting our sonic cannons all over Norwich's finest faces. So bring a towel, bring your phone number, and bring a dental dam to stop getting herpes off Marco...

The gig kicks off on Friday March 9th at the Hog in Armour in Norwich, near St. Benedict's Street. If I'm not mistaken, on St. Benedicts there's some joint called 'Rocks' that sounds pretty rad, but last time I checked it was some gay bar as it didn't even have a jukebox. Plus I asked the bouncer if they had any Wig Wam and he said something racist about Native Americans. So yeah, don't go there because it's totally shit.

The Lady Of The Lake is BACK.....

Morning Pouterz

Woah, what an INSANE night last night at The Lady Of The Lake!  Arrived at the venue at around 6.30 pm. As it was the opening night, with new PA equipment, we hired the services of our 4th Emergency Service, our soundman Titch. AKA, Wurzel Glammadge.  Just as a back up, as the Lady Of The Lake had it's own sound engineer as well. Well, I'm setting my drums up, with these 2 legends of the "live audio reproduction" world  waging verbal WAR with each other over who owned the best mics, who had a better mixing desk, pat testing, overhead booms, and all the other facets that make the "rockin world go round". It was quite hilarious to see.  It was like the coming together of two super hero's - Alien V The Predator if you will. However, it proved that two heads can be better than one, as we had a super quick soundcheck, with everything sounding KILLER. The 2 guys had fought, and ultimately won, the sound was FAB!

This just left the arrival of Randii Lamour and Dirk Steele. The clock was ticking, it was getting towards 7.45pm, we were due on at 9pm. Now, we all know the routine for lead singers. Turn up late, with the least amount of equipment, steal the show, and leave the venue with the praise, accolades and chicks. However, this was late by Dirk Steele/Lamour standards. The chief PATD worriers (me and Platinum) were pacing. I was hoping they hadn't had an accident on the way. Would the grand re-opening of The Lady Of The Lake end in tragedy?? Would we have to announce that we couldnt play??? Would I get to play "Detroit Rock City"????

Well, as the clock struck 7.54pm (not that I was worried) our lead singer and bass player arrived, plugged in, soundchecked 2 songs, and were getting a drink at the bar before I could say "I'm so glad you're both safe I love you two...."   Turns out Randii had car problems, with his car window falling IN. I always thought windows fell out? But whatever the reason, they were here, and we can finally get the ribbon cut and get onto ROCKING.

Anyway, the gig itself was FANTASTIC, and unbelievably HOT! A packed out Lady Of The Lake was rocking out from the opening bar of "Shout At The Devil" to the closing strains of "God Gave Rock N Roll To You"....even Ed from The Darkness showed up with Steele's mate David, and he was rocking out non stop! Oh yeah, and we had our very first crowd surfer! Whoever you are, you are CRAZY! And we salute you for being so!  And I must have lost half a stone in sweat. Did I mention it was HOT???? Oh and I broke THREE drumsticks. THREE!!!  Crowd were super awesome all night.  It's the audience that makes a gig special, and last night was no exception! You all rule!

The gig was not only special for the fact that a brilliant live music venue was re-opening, when so many are closing, but was also special for the fact that for the first time in PATD history, Marco Platinum made a mistake. Yes really. A mistake. It was at the start of Nothin' But A Good Time. Make a note of this, a moment that will go down in folklore!

Oh yeah, the start of the encore also marked the live debut of Pout Sabbath, as me and Platinum started the encore with "Black Sabbath" with myself on vocals. Razzie Osbourne you might say. "Owwa NOWWWAAAA.....duh, duh, duhhhhhhhhhh......................."

So a great night (bar the packing up at the end which is always SHIT), and great to see a great live music venue back in action!

Until the next installment, I bid you farewell!

Holy balls.....

.......Dirk Steele is a GENIUS! How good is this new www.poutatthedevil.com?? Make sure you download a screensaver for your Desktop/Phone while you're there. At least that way you can actually look at us all day, rather than just daydreaming about us........oh yayuh.......

In a few hours we will be high tailing it off to Oulton Broad to officially re-open the Lady Of The Lake!! Not the first time we've been drafted in to "open up a lady", but this will be more fun..........there is a rumour that certain band members will be wearing BELTS this evening as well. For technical purposes I hasten to add, not to hold up their spandex........their wangs provide adequate adhesion to keep those bad boys where they should be......


Until next time........

Rayuzz here..

Well, I may as well have a go at this blogging. I've never written a blog before. I've walked a dog, sat on the bog, had a snog (oh yayuh), drunk some grog and been for a jog. But never written a blog. So hopefully this qualifies as one.

So tomorrow night we return to The Lady Of The Lake in Oulton Broad. The last time we played there was the same day we filmed the Nothing But A Good Time video in Yarmouth. That day ruled, especially when we walked into Joyland, and "Here I Go Again" by Whitesnake boomed out of the PA , in between R & B shit. Oh yayuh, we had arrived. And judging by the looks on the faces of the Great Yarmouth public, they had also "arrived". In their payunts.

Following the long day of looking awesome, and getting hassled by some Great Yarmouth chavs, we got to Oulton Broad and had a massive pre gig roast. By roast I mean the food kind, not the "front and back simultaneously" kind. We saved that for later.  The last gig at The Lady Of The Lake was so amazing, the venue had to close down soon afterwards, because we were unavailable for the rest of the year. Nothing else could compete. Just so happens that when we returned in 2012 for new gigs, the venue re-opens. Coincidence?? I think not :-)  *PBH*

Whatever, tomorrow night is gonna rock HARD.  Plus there is fire breathers and stilt walkers apparently, and both those things rule.'Cos KISS use them. And they rule......

Anyway, stay tuned for more PATD insights from us

Lots of love

New website!

Dirk is currently hard at work coding the new website, in between bouts of fucking and shooting up. He predicts that the site will be live early next week, so stay tuned for the live launch and inevitable bugs and shit that he's overlooked, due to being high for 95% of the whole project.

Welcome to the PATD official blog!

In an attempt to get with the times and all this internet shit, PATD are now live on the Bloggersphere as well as on their website, facebook, twitter, and even Porntube. Check back here frequently to see updates and stories from the band, photos, news on how their rehab stints are going, and absolutely no emo shit about vampires and Justin Bieber.
