One of the many (many!) drummers from Sacktrick pointing at the idiot with the camera at Rio's, Bradford, 6th July 2001.
Seriously, the band has had that many drummers, many of them at the same time, that I'm not even sure the band would know who this was.
There were certainly 2 on stage that night.
I still say that "Blue Ice Cream is a fantastic, if un-neccessarily metal song.

#NowPlaying a throwback to the late 90s/early 2000s. Add N to (X) were a very strange, synthy, blippy electronic band that were only together for a few years at the middle/end of the 90s, and barely into the 2000s (they broke up in 2003). They made some catchy, weird songs.

Add N to (X) did a few LPs, this is my favorite, 'Insult to Injury', from 2000: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nS_qnyxLTdZiHEmxwxhCFo51X1fmyN8kw

Track 7 of that especially, 'Plug Me In', which is what got me hooked on them. The video for 'Plug Me In' has adult video actresses playing with toys, and isn't on YouTube. So I put it here (to download, it's too big to stream) because censorship is bullshit: https://drive.proton.me/urls/NF445YTQPC#eveb0kvLhGRk

#NowPlaying some wakeup music -- this new aggro/hardcore punk EP from last month, 'Pantomime of Power' by London's NUCLEAR FEAR. You can listen to this whole thing in just six minutes. There's rough, loud, growling guitars, raw bass, and almost death metal-esque vocals. Lots to dig here.

On This Day 6th July 2001.

So, you’ve just come back from a week of stalking a band around the country, and you’re at a bit of a loss for what to do, with nothing planned for the night.

Then one of the guys you work with says he has a spare ticket for a gig in Bradford, and his brother is driving…

Phluid at Rio, Bradford, 6th July 2001.
