The Long Man

So, The Arteries popped down to Liverpool on Tuesday night to rock the socks of a great Liverpool crowd. Thank you to everyone involved, the bands, Jon the sound engineer and most importantly everyone who came down to support the bands and the cause! Everything ran very smoothly considering it was our first night that we've put on, so there were no teething problems. I think most of people that came will agree that we've potentially found a venue to showcase Punk in Liverpool, and I plan to continue that with booking as many touring bands as I can.


I got talking to a lot of people at the gig and found out that all the Liverpool Punk Scene needs is a big enough venue with the right atmosphere, I hope that Bumper fulfilled the scene's needs. I think that Tuesday night was the first time I've ever seen anyone crowd surf in Bumper, but the Chief fans lived up to my expectations with their energy. I've started a mailing list to keep everyone informed of upcoming events, so if you want to be involved email yamyampromo@gmail.com with the title of the email being Mailing List.

We gave the lads from 'The Arteries' a  good ol' alcohol infused tour of Liverpool on Tuesday, and they commented on the fact that every DJ played the same songs in different bars, as if we were being followed by a reasonably awful DJ, but I think the alcohol and company made up for the music and we enjoyed an epic night out.

Tonight we've got another gig, this time it's local indie bands Post Romantics, Moguls and White Bicycles who are doing us a favour in order to fund the printing of the zine that I haven't stopped going on about for the last couple of weeks. Please come down and support the cause, and if you're interested in getting involved with then it's a good opportunity to meet me and the other people involved. It's only £3 in so that's a pound a band. Check out the facebook event for more details: http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=181475881890728&index=1. Hope to see you all down there!
