A gig in a carpark in london....

A few months ago we were asked to play Crossfire’s Halloween Massacre, all the information we were given was that Pendulum played it last year and that it was held in a car park somewhere in London. Being a big fan of car parks myself we had to say yes!

Literally after brainwash festival on Friday we travelled down to London, so we could have a leisurely day in London we no stress from travelling. London is madness to drive round, I cant get my head round it at all and London drivers just do whatever they want…….

We arrive at said secret car park location at 5pm ish to see lots of vans and lots of equipment being carted round, apparently everything is running very late however they have constructed a half pipe in a couple of hours, good work, ill show them my amazing skills later, if you were an extra in the zombie video you’ll already know I am allergic to skateboards……



Soundcheck sounds amazing considering its in a massive carpark but after that theres a lot of hanging round until people start coming in, apparently 500 tickets have been sold and theres an extra 175 on the door, this is going to be pure chaos later on…….



Theres lots of skateboarders that turn up early so we hang about watching them for a bit, I refrain from showing them my library of tricks, I just bask in the knowledge I am better than them all………..clearly…….My favourite trick is staying on the board longer than 10 seconds.



The queue for the place is right down the round with the security doing a ridiculously tight job of frisking every individual before they are let in. I think this adds to Zac the organisers stress but it seems like the whole world has turned up to party.



Once the place fills up and djs start playing it really becomes a proper party with a massive range of Halloween costumes, my favourite is Michael Jackson with a pumpkin for a head.



We are ready to play at 12:30 and the place is rammed, whether people have heard of us or not doesn’t matter………..




As soon as the first guitar riff is played the place goes mental, circle pits people throwing themselves round, pure chaos, fucking brilliant, Stick spends a couple of songs singing in the middle of people slamming themselves around my guitar gets knocked out of tune a million times but it was amazing……best gig ever? Maybe…….thanks crossfire….
