Mill Street Brews, January 20th

We did this gig with Get Back and The Fighting Cocks. Unfortunately, we still haven't quite figured out a way to photograph ourselves live, so most of these pictures are not of us. Which seems counterintuitive, but then we've never been sticklers for making sense.

Ben wearing the latest in fashion, the brand new Valves T-Shirt. We gave one of these away to...

... one of these girls right here. Now, you might be asking yourself "Wow, what do I have to do to win such an amazing work of T-shirt art?" All I will say is that one of these girls did it, and now she has a shirt. I'm not saying what she did except to say that it didn't involve winning a trivia contest, a dance contest, an eating contest.

And here are Chris and Cindy who didn't win a t shirt but are happy anyway. This could be because they are just happy people, or it could be because they don't know yet that they haven't won a T shirt.

John wanted it know to everyone, especially the girl who won the shirt, that he is NOT married, depsite being a hell of a catch.

The Beatles cover band Get Back played first. This is Guy and Will showing us what george and Ringo would look like if they had never been famous and were still belting it out in little dives throughout liverpool.

This was Guy's first gig with Get Back. I was hoping they would ask me to take over the Ringo spot, but no, they asked him instead. Here he is studying for his citizenship so that he can stay in America.

Jay doing his best Paul (No really, that's his BEST Paul). You may be thinking "Where have I seen that guy before?" Well, the answer is, he does sound for us quite a bit, so you may have seen him behind the board or in front of the bar at a Valves gig or two.

And this is Jay's father Jim. Note the resemblance.

And Jim again, Get Back's answer to a John Lennon question nobody asked

This is some guy named John playing with his balls

Julie, Cheryl and Jay. Cheryl will be trying out for the Kiss tribute band soon.

This is Mike. This is how he sees himself in the mirror every morning, which explains the hair.

And after us, were the Punching Poultry.. err, I mean the Fighting Cocks

And Jamie, the head Cock belts it out.

They had CDs, but no cool T Shirts.

and they have a chick bass player named Joyce. Someday I will figure out why so many chicks play bass and if it has anything to do with having breasts. I play bass and I have breasts too. There has to be a connection.

Rhumba? No idea...

Mike being scolded for looking like a homeless guy

Tom and Charlie of the Rock'em Sock'em Roosters let's another one rip

And finally a close up of our awesome new shirt. Want one? Come to a gig. No really, come to a gig will you?
