Ok that’s it. What comes after post-modernism?

Knew that would stump you.

The important thing is that the kids had fun and no-one important got mugged/beaten to a bloody pulp.

Forgive my Woman’s Day-like ambiguity, but “A source close to the band” told me about the incident and I can answer your questions.

1. Dan W (Drummer), upon realising that his kick drum pedal was broken, panicked and ran backstage to see if he could borrow the support band (Papa vs Pretty)’s one. Upon discovering that they had already left the venue (they are still in high school after all), he panicked further and saw only one cause of action: run back to his house in darlinghurst where he knew there was a kick pedal. A solid 10 minute full-sprint from the back door of the venue.

In the meantime, Dan Mac and Jim Finn assumed he was still back stage repairing his busted pedal.

2. After a time, some helpful people backstage actually managed a shoddy repair job on the offending pedal using gaffer tape and McGuiver-type ingenuity, thus allowing Jim Finn (of the long flowing locks) to get on the drums and add some bass drum energy to the equation.

3. See answer 1. Re home in Darlinghurst.

Hopefully this answers your questions.

Flic.

I had a chat with the band outside while I was waiting for someone / something (can’t remember who / what), and they explained that the drummer broke his pedal halfway through so had to disappear to a nearby shop to get a new one.
This begs a couple of questions:
1. How did he manage to leave the stage with the rest of the band apparently not knowing wtf happened and where he went?!

2. How did the other dude (forgive my ignorance – the one with the long-flowing locks) manage to fill the drummer’s shoes AND make a very convincing kick-drum sound without a working pedal?!

3. What music shop is open at midnight?!

Wicked gig though – props to the band for easily smoothing over what could have been (in any other bands’ case) a disastrous gig!
