Scrotes notes

My friend AP (the Sydders one) is in a rock band called Scrotal Trauma. For his 40th, they did a '90s-themed gig.

Last time I saw 'em perform, they were a two-piece - guitar and drums. These days, they're a quintet with a serious amount of gear.

On the tables were posters for pretend concerts past. There were even humorous fake magazine articles about the group.

Here are the Scrotes in full flight (AP is second from the left, doing his best Kurt Cobain impression) -

The lads skilfully covered songs by Hunters & Collectors, Blink-182, Ash, Supergrass, Spiderbait, The Cure, Foo Fighters, Jimmy Eat World, Nirvana, Weezer, The Dandy Warhols, Blur, Hole, Ratcat, Queens Of The Stone Age and Blur.

Having opened with "Holy Grail", they returned to H&C territory for the encore, "Throw Your Arms Around Me".

For the rest of the night, a laptop hooked into the speakers pumped out more sounds of the '90s - a decade I must stop claiming not to like.
