Sign in to disble this ad
Played our first non church gig at the county fair a few weeks ago. The power quit on us about halfway through our show and we had to result to telling jokes until the power got turned back on.
"There were two mufins in an oven, the first one says to the second one, "is it hot in here or is it just me?" the second one looks at the first one and screams "AHHH!!! Talking muffin!!!"
"There were two pretzels walking down the road, one of them was a-salted"
Baisically i guess i would suggest having some "GOOD" jokes ready at your performances.

It wasn't like this in my day - Punk was confined to sweaty nightclubs and dingy warehouses, which were trashed by the band who were subsequently banned for life.

Punk is a lot more mainstream, more commercial, more "pop". But let's not start the punk debate all over again... |

I remember in the UK , the Church declaiming punk as the work of the devil etc etc - but of course that's exactly what the punks wanted!
