Hand Hell duo

1 September 2007 @ The Corner Hotel

I'm just a little excited about this show.

Hi Frankie. How weird is it not to have any PMs, friends and favourite threads?

''Dear people whose usernames are also your band/performance names, I think you are really really stupid if you get into interfights and troll around and rag on dudes you do or don't know in real life and act stupid and say crazy drunken things and get all nasty. Like, you have just lost tonnes of your audience before they even bothered to check out your music. Vaguely concerned for your artistic well-being, socks.''

Can't argue with that, really....

Hand Hell (as a band name) came from the fact that our guitarist had cuts and blisters and machine oil all over her hands from work.

Mmm...I can't unfortunately, Meg :(

I'm trying to wind down from the excitement of watching the concert for Diana. Concert for Bangladesh had nothing on this show!

Nihilism is such an ill-defined term. You could say that western society now is so nihilist, that nihilism in the older (political or philosophical) sense of the word is meaningless.

I always liked Georges Bataille's nihilism, which is actually life-affirming by being opposed to all control or moderation, but even the idea of transgression is kinda played out these days.

Was this cut short? Where was the finale? Wasn't it meant to be Elton John backed by the Jesus And Mary Chain doing I Wanna Be Your Dog?

Ha ha...if only! No, it's a plank with four double bass strings nailed to it, and lent against a ladder, with a microphone sticky-taped to it.

I really doubt our paths will cross.
