Dayglo Abortions, NYE @ the Cobalt

[shorerider]

"Keep your bodily fluids to yourself"

Was what I was told by the lead singer of the Dayglos after hocking one too many loogies at him. More on that later :)

3 Bands at the Cobalt, $15. Bottles of beer $3.75. I didn't have the guts to drink the stuff from the tap.

Missed most of the first band, but they gave 'er.

The second band. WOW. Started out with the lead singer in a PFD, Hockey helmet, gumboots and these blue pants. He talked like he was retarded on the mic, banging his head with cymbals before the show. Girls kept filling his gumboots up with their beers. He had a friend, wearing a rainbow striped hat that sat about 2 feet tall. His friend was also wearing rainbow pants.

The afformentioned lead singer was on all fours, stuck his hand down his pants, came out with some brown goop. Licked fingers. Was it poo? I donut know. Then the music started. He alternated between a low, guttaral wrenching sound that could not be decifered into words and a high pitched screaming. Then his technicolour friend donned a bike helmet and proceeded to scream in the same manner. I have never seen a pasty white pinner mofo give 'er like him. They took turns beating each other over the head with the mics.

Half way through his performance, he tore the diaper he was wearing out of his pants. It was stained brown. He then proceeded to beat the members of the audience with it. Stunning.

On a side note, the lead singer was also at the Steve O show, he got kicked twice in the nuts on stage by a really pretty woman. He did not flinch.









On to the Dayglos.
Saw them at the Brickyard for the Millenium New Years. They owned then, and fucking owned the other night. They gave 'er. Got to sing a few lines, too:)

The lead singer was pouring champagne down everyone's throat at midnight. I tried to get a pic of me swilling, but to no avail. After the show I did a line of snuff with him.
Took a few boots to the face/head from crowdsurfers, lots of bruises on my body and someone's blood on my shirt. That shirt is no more:|











Props to survivor for getting my toque back from that chick who did not appreciate me flipping her off after she said the Dayglos suck.

After the show I was right pissed, and we headed to some club that wanted $40 to get in to listen to some half baked DJ. I just bumrushed the door :)

After that we piled into some after hours club at around 5am, with a bunch of folk. I spent a good part of the evening trying to convince this American chick what it meant to "give 'er"

Left around 7:30 am, walked from Hastings and commercial with her to the seabus and bid her a good day. Perhaps one of the nicest sunrises I have seen in a while :)

you know that bar/club smell that you get on your clothes?
i have never smelt anything as rank as the smell i caught after leaving the cobalt....

The lead singer with the PFD and hockey helmet was standing outside the doors after the Steve-O show challenging people to kick him in the nuts.

My buddy got his turn and the guy gasped and went to one knee. He then gave my friend props and told him it was the best kick he had taken all night.

He was one crazy motherfucker.

no, I don't know her.

Just put a coupla drops of tea tree oil in the wash. Kills anything nasty and is all natural :)

sounds like you had quite the evening...

I gotta say though, I love my punk rawk shows and have no problem with excessive rowdiness - but when it comes to the use of bodily excrement at a concert - especially when it comes from an ass, some people just take it too far.
