First post. Sorry if it comes across as a whinge.
But seriously... do Perth crowds have a religious objection moshing?
I go to metal gigs to vent my weekly frustrations by ruining my body in a mighty maelstrom of moshing morons (oh, how I love alliteration
), not to stand at the back of the venue with a glass of piss and a sneer as I sit in judgement on whatever band happens to be playing. It's pathetic, and I'm a fat prick in my forties. I can't believe how weak and pantywaist all you bony-arsed 20-year-olds are.
Seriously, this is not a metal scene if we're not moshing. Somehow I don't think the average band wants polite applause and apathy as a standard response.
So I'm starting a club. It has the same name as this post - the Moshpit Mafia. If anyone wants in, say so, and let's get the fucking party started.
Convene here, choose a gig, show up, pay the cover, and announce our presence on the floor. Simple as pi. Hopefully the critical mass gets all the apathetic fucksticks and posers into the mood and gets the joint permanently smelling of sweat and blood.
But for what it's worth, I want to seriously try and keep this crew tool/douchebag/dumbcnut-free, so if you can't respect people, gear, bands, venue, etc., this is not your gig. But if you can hold onto your brain while getting wild and crazy inside the moshiverse, let's get this shit started, fuckers.
Who's in?
