Spurs of Rock, 7:50



Tweet: LITERALLY, raising the roof...



What Happened: One goes up! One goes down...Watching the crowd surfers in the Spurs of Rock tent almost takes my full attention, but the ska punk outfit demand it back with brash brass, pogo jumping and super soaker water guns. This is the craziest crowd I've seen in ages (anywhere) and the band lap it up. How the lighting rig was still intact after being kicked, head butted and shoved by crowd surfers, is a mystery...



On Top of the Mountain: The sheer energy on stage, and almost more importantly, in the crowd. For the last song, half of the tent literally became a whirlpool of bodies.



Slip, Sliding Down the Slope: Hardly the most refined playing, with its fair share of mistakes, but this was never meant to be perfect. Rough around the edges, but all the more real and exciting for it.
