Bitchslap at Newtown Fair Day

A 10.30AM gig on a Sunday morning, up the road at Newtown Fair Day - if Liz hadn't asked me to take a few shots for the record, we would've missed a really, really good set. I haven't seen them live with the new drummer, who is excellent. The band was polished, the sound was excellent and I am really tired - back home after getting annoyed that I had my bag checked! (hang on, are we in Newtown?? can't be - the tosser even called me "Ma'm" - what a fuck wit). There are even mounted police! So many people just shrug their shoulders and say, "oh well"... No glass, no BYO and the only beer on sale - $6 for a can (!!!) is shit beer - not even any light beer on a warm day. Oh, bleet, bleet - I'm supposed to be here for the music so - here are a couple of the lastest and best line up of Bitchslap - cool, very cool.
