Saturday Night's Alright For An Orgasm

Castle Hotel - Sat nite 16th June.

Performed in a Motorhead cover band ORGASMATRON that was slapped together a month ago just for the nite..Twas a fund raising show for 107.3 Heritage FM. Put together by the guys from ANGER MANAGEMENT metal radio prog thingo.

Dan - (bass player from the Furor) on drums, Clint - (guit for Pyromesh) on bass, myself on guit and vocals. (I actually didn't know their surnames until I asked them between songs :S)

What a crazy fuckin nite it was. Clint and myself dressed as Lemmy. Shades, beards (real!) and blood shot eyes.

Opened with Iron Fist then it was Stone Dead Forever, Killed By Death, Overkill, Motorhead, Orgasmatron then finally Ace Of Spades. Dan really kept it tight and pushed the songs forward. Not bad for a Black Metal bass player!

Was a ball to be up there with those 2 guys and to be back in 3 piece again. The crowd were very receptive and there was a lot of interplay between the hecklers and Clint and myself. Onstage banter and horseplay - - Drunken fun with some classic rock songs makes for a great evening. Iron Fist was repeated at the end due to a self induced encore 8).

Scraped a razor blade up and down the strings of my Destroyer.. yeech!

Playing these tracks in the style and voice of Motorhead made the difference between us trying to sound like Motorhead and actually sounding like them.. lots of smiles in the crowd as well mesmerised women :O hehe

I'm sure people loved it... especially hard core Motorhead fans.
