Sunday again, god how time flies. As I mentioned earlier it has happened a lot so now I'ma bit behind in the reporting of the gigs that has been, so now in the upcoming coming days I will try to catch up a bit. First up is a small festival (Pretty Shitty Kjell) for those short-haired guys that I did a few weeks ago.
A festival which lasted two days here in Stockholm with a variety of classic bands. A festival that each year gets sold out, this was the third year that I was involved in one way or another. A festival that I get the chance to take some photographs. A festival that is actually ape fun to do although I do not have much track of bands that play, but who cares when you have fun :)
Bands that attended at the festival was Cockney Rejects, 4 Skins, Superyob, Guttersnipe, Section 5, Anti-Nowhere League, Frankie "Boy" Flame, Last Resort, Agent Bulldogg.
The Cockney Rejects are an Oi! punk band which formed in the East End of London in 1979.
Their biggest UK hit The Greatest Cockney Rip-Off was a parody of Sham 69's Hersham Boys. As Julie Burchill noted, "It must have been a bloody strong wind that blew the sound of Bow Bells to Surrey." Other songs were less commercial as they tended to be about street fighting and football hooliganism - except for the band's version of the famous West Ham United anthem, "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles". In May 2010 they realized a lifetime’s dream and played ‘Bubbles’ to 25000 people at West Ham’s ground in support of their friend Kevin Mitchell on his world title challenge to Michael Katsidis.
The boys are currently writing new material for their forthcoming 10th studio album, as well as working on the forthcoming documentary about the band, ‘East End Babylon’ which is due for release in 2012.
Here are some pictures from the first day, more photos will be published on Tune Of The Days Facebook.
Todays tune "Fighting in The Street" is taken from the first album "Greatest Hits Vol. 1" released in 1980
