powerhouse prod=fuckfight
Wow! No other word derscribes it.
Ive made it home from the most woeful event i ever paid money for. The sydney leg of adventjah and the word dissapointment does not even begin to describe that night. I should have known at the door i was in for trouble when asked if i was there for the dance party or to play pool. So who played i hear you ask, well according to the flyers pete wardman, agnelli and nelson and dave lea. Who actually played? None of the above! They arrived to this shitfight and saw the 50 people in attendence and refused. Yes thats right they sat down and refused to play, drank a beer and left. The place was a bar and i wish i had known better. I don't totally hold it against the dj's if you came all the way from the uk to a pub named after a pissy shark in a tank surrounded by pool tables you could understandably be tense. Wow thats done the sydney clubbing scene great good in the uk. I hope people from sydney never want to see any of them again, we'd need a gun to get them back on a plane. On the other hand i payed money to see agnelli and nelson, did they have a responsibilty to play a few tracks after all i came to see them. I actually went down to say hello while they were enjoying the shark and a beer and was promptly told to fuck off! Nice! Angry dj's, not good for a chat. I somehow still have a soft spot for them but it tarnished them a bit for me. As for powerhouse now called shithouse productions take a bow! No lineup times for the rooms as they knew the internationals had refused to play. We tracked the owner down and he apologised to us but well that didn't quite cut it. For some reason he wasn't willing to pay us the $300 it cost to get in. Surprise. If they knew that fuck all tickets had been sold they should have just cancelled it rather than ruin, repeat ruin their professional reputation hopefully for ever. Since we payed $50 the 6 of us had a competiton to see who could stay the longest with the 6 other people there in the shark bar lounge room and dance up a storm on the carpet. We lasted till 5 but that was testament to a personal resolve i didn't know i possessed. The shithouse owner even lied to our face that agnelli had played for half an hour at 11 but we got there at 11 and unless they had reconstructive surgery and lost weight that was a fucking plain lie. They must have looked at the place when getting a replacement for sega world. The 2 rooms sound even merged as 1 bar split the two that was totally open and the sound of drum and bass over trance was quite remarkable, maybe we have a winner there, drum and trance! I'll get an email off to shithouse productions and see if they can market that to the world! I actually had a disposable camera with a panoramic feature and managed to take photo's on extra wide setting and get not one person except the dj in shot! Where can i post that photo! Well thanks for letting me air this disgrace, sorry if it didn't make you laugh. I tend to think no other ta's were at this event or i may seen something about it by now. I purposely didn't write this yesterday as ever second word out of my mouth was a rude word that doesn't appeal to everyone.
Love to all
Simon
P.s im in negoitiations to get agnelli and nelson back out to play in my loungeroom. I've promised to turn on both lava lamps and shine my torch with red sticky tape on it around at random intervals. That would equal shithouse productions decoration efforts. Im close to getting agnelli's to agree. Maybe free lemonade will do it!
Pps I read sydneys three d world when i got home and agnelli and nelson were asked what to expect when they played at adventjah. Their reply was- expect the unexpected. They got me!
