A festival in
the middle of nowhere, a stage set in a paddock of a farm,
miles of camp space, back stage tents with riders,
a 1km walk from the car to the stage with equipment,
a dead frozen fish, a crap fender amp,
a guy in a suit and a backing band to suit (not really)...
this my friends is
gavin at "FISHSTOCK 2000"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With one of the most physical
shows of gavin ever witnessed - full of on your knees lead breaks from
Duff, the pounding bass of Trav, some acrobatic, aerobic displays from
Gru, and the blacksmith drum techniques of Pete gavin pumped out memorable
tune after tune.
There were no shortage
of classic covers thrown in the 1 1/2 hr set either as the group struggled
to keep playing while the next band still hadn't shown up.
The crowd showed their enthusiasm
by throwing the frozen fishstock fish on the stage, which the band then
threw back to them with pleasure so they could begin mutilating the its
dead carcass by kicking it into the dirt.
And of course gavin could only give the crowd one thing in return for
the gesture, something to satisfy their cravings - a version of the
classic Shadow Warriors.
Ending the set in style with
a few minutes of feed back and screams and leaps and other try-hard ingredients,
the band jumped in the van and headed off to Inferno in Traralgon to blast
away Killing Heidi (not likely). see
review?
