I've been a Sugababes fan since I first heard Overload way back in 2000. It was, and still is, a pop classic. Over the years, I managed to catch them live a couple of times. The first time I caught Sugababes live was way back at Creamfields 2002. Unfortunately Siobhan had left the band by then and been replaced by Heidi, so I never got to see the original lineup. Did it matter much at the time to me? No, not at all, I was just their to party! As a side note, post Sugababes, Siobhan went on to release two solo albums, Revolution in Me in 2003 and Ghosts in 2007. The next time I saw them was at Oxegen 2008, and by then Mutya had left the band and was replaced by Amelle, leaving Keisha as the only remaining original member. It was a tad strange seeing the band with only one remaining member, but again, it was a festival and all we were looking for was a good time, which we definitely got!

I like Punk… The Dead Kennedys, Stiff Little Fingers, The Clash,Me First and the Gimme Gimmes… It’s not an exhaustive list, but there you go…
Anyway, an old friend of mine was in town with his band. Called Bolanow Brawl, they hail from Hamburg Germany and they like to rock, oh and they like to party too! Check them out, it’s good stuff and I’m not just saying that because I know one of them!
The only other band I got to see were Dublin based punk rockers, The Nilz. I’m not exactly sure how to describe them… Sure, they rock and put on a great show. But… Well the drummer wears a gimp mask, guitarist wears a gas mask, the bass player a sailor hat and the front man… Well he wears a dildo and a firework in his arse cheeks.
Even if you don’t like the music (I did), the show is worth seeing just for the power and energy! You really should check them out.
There were other bands on, some of which I saw, some I didn’t, but over all, it was a great day. Some excellent punk music from new comers and old hands. Hopefully this will take place again next year. Keep an eye out for it!
