I knew this show was going to rule when I saw Andy C take his guitar out if it's GARBAGE BAG case! All the best bands use garbage bags as cases.
Ratapult tore my ass apart! Exactly what I was expecting, think early Dez era Black Flag and you'll be close to the radness of this band. Fast Jams, Slow Jams, lots of craziness. Fuck yeah.
I hate to admit it but this was only the second time I've seen the pickles. I just can't seem to make it out to their shows, but god damn son, I think they are the funnest band in victoria. I love this shit.

So pretty much.. my expectations for Ratapult were -sky high- and I wasn't let down. The Pickles consistantly play some of the funnest sets I've ever seen. This was such a great show for how short it was, no big deal. - Tue, 3 Jan 2006 6:02am

Wow, thanks guys! We had alot of fun too. I'm a huge advocate of art shows/show shows, totally successful. We'd love to contribute to more of this kind of thing on both sides, whether it be at the Ministry, the fifty/fifty, or elsewhere. Thanks to Issac (current Minister) and Emily (featured artist) for putting it together (thanks to anyone who does anything ever for that matter!), it was such a great time...NOTE: "garbage bag cases" and "whiskey snorting" are totally situational, obligatory cultural artifacts of nostalgia and nessecity...Ratapult supports neither pseudo-alcoholism or innovative use of materials, or something...Anyway, we genuinely appreciate the glowing review Jay, and thanks again for fixing the kramer. - Tue, 3 Jan 2006 4:13pm
