the Blood live at Coney Island High in NYC, NY June 1999

the Blood live at Coney Island High in NYC, NY June 1999...i'm still pissed we were promised $750 and left with significantly less. NY i'd hoped was going to finance one of the funnest & dumbest ventures of my life. This particular line up of the band featured not only mainstay Jamie Cantwell aka JJ Bedsore but his long term band mate Gaz deGrout who did a short stint in the Southern Death Cult (and is a solo artist as of 2008)...plus band fan Brad Sims (formerly with Deathwish) keeping the band in motion by handling the drums and yet another band mate from the Blind Beggar releases Gareth on additional vocals & guitar. After the band went back to England, they drafted in a singer Compost, only did a handful of gigs, and JJ passed away in 2004 mostly unaware of the fandom for his work. I encourage all Blood fans to purchase the live CD i've released "Toilet Tour" featuring a bunch of live cuts recorded in Maryland on the 1st date of said east coast tour. Also, if youre in London & have needle fever, hit up Brad at his tattoo shop. Finally, i'll mention The Cardinal aka Colin who co-wrote some of these songs has reheated the Blood name, and is gearing up to release "Punk at the Opera" on CD - find him on myspace to hear samples from this disk. This clip has been uploaded to pay tribute to a big fan of Frosty Jack as well as Ren & Stimpy (off a dub - we're aware of the drop outs, seeking out the master currently!) - R I P JJ

TROLL OR COMEDIAN? A BIT OF BOTH. GNP, YOURE IN GOA NOW? WHERE'S THE INVITE?

[gnpowell]

hehe...

funny thing about that kiernmack chap, is that i have absolutely no idea who it is. but if you look at their youtube profile, it looks like they created it specifically to slag elvis christ off - which is fair enough...but bassist?

i can count the times i've played bass on one middle finger...

so to kiernmack, whoever you are, let it go and move on. life's too short

[dsirecords]

Even more comical - he's trolling a band that's been inactive for 10 years, had 1000 views, and is only getting commentary now from me & you. Serious LOLS there.
