Slam Dunk Festival, Leeds

slackers were one of the best bands indeed, and it was a shame that the venue was really empty, think it was one of the emptiest it had been all day,
the skints were good for the little bit i saw, bloody queing
random hand were on form
didnt catch that much of farse
sonic boom were pretty decent
slackers awesome
and that was all i saw, not a huge king blues fan and could not be asked waiting ages to see anti flag
what did suck was the fact you could not drink at the vans stage and that it was sooo bloody humid

It was pretty strange that the stage with the (i would assume) oldest crowd was the no drinking stage. Somebody told me it was because the venue is usually a mosque?

Yeah apparently it's a mosque Mon-Fri. Kerazy

nah, riley smith hall is used for stage theatre and you have never been allowed to drink in there, there is another place in the uni that is used for religios purposes.
tis a bit of a joke that the stage where you are most likely to drink is placed at the only place you cant drink

Ah fair enough, that's what someone told our sound guy who was stage managing that stage. Obviously there was lots of confusion on that day

yeah tonnes of confusion about everything.#

you cant leave the venue and get back in, oh wait now you can. but not here.

also apparently some cunt from a popular band jumped of the balcony in the refectory and broke a girls collar bone.

Yeah me and Ellie saw that happen. Crazy shit.

Which band?!

The Audition? I think that's who I read it was afterwards...We literally wandered in there for 2 minutes to see what was going on and that happened - saw it form the top balcony.

It was the audition yeah, heres a video of it for anyone who wants to watch the events that took place. as shit an action as it was from the guy i couldnt bring myself to not watch this out of pure morbid curiosity.

fucking hell, what did he expect to happen? that was some height...

he's got balls and a disregard for the wellbeing of his fans, so rock&roll

i knew something bad was gonna happen and i squeeled when he did it not nice

Fuck ME! What the hell was he playing at?! He could have genuinely killed someone. That would have been an excellent way to promote your band...

Sounds like everyone else had a pretty good time though, gutted I wasn't there!

It was really impressive, though very ill-advised. At least she didn't get too badly hurt, it could've been much worse

At least he didn't get his cock out.

Come to think of it Robin hasn't done that for a while.

thankfully lol

It is worying me that with your curent trend of wowing every one at gigs and your fan base growing exponentialy that over half your fan base wont have seen robins genitalia.

pluss hope she sues, coz i meen come on! ! !!!

I think a broken collar bone and sprained wrist counts as badly hurt dude, granted it could have been worse but a broken collar bone is a pretty bad injury and one that could definitely pose a lot of problems for the girl in the future.

for example she will probably never be able to reach strait up in the air with that arm or lift anything heavy, although these are rather minor for perminate disabilitys, their perminant disabilitys inflicted on a young girl (asumeing it was a young girl due to it happend in the refectory) for some dick to look cool

yeah, jumping from that hights only cool if you've drank 3 bottles of vodka, from russia, and then doing it again because of your nagging wife, hurting kids isn't cool.

fucking rep'd

I think he was just fucking stupid! He's a huge grown man jumping 20 ft off of a balcony onto a crown on people, of course someone is going to get injured. He could have fractured someone's skull and killed them. I'm getting angry thinking about it, WHAT A TWAT!!!!!

Yeah true, but I mean really badly hurt. Like collapsed face/broken back hurt. I'm not defending it or anything, but she's walking around now, so at least it wasn't as bad as it could've been

true that,true that.

Didnt really mean to call you out on that to be honest, I got what you were saying. I was a little tetchy after reading the posts on punktastic about it(i dont know why I do it in all honesty that site only serves to make me very very angry)some of the people who post their are just fucking idiots of the highest order.

I haven't been reading it, what have people been saying?
