Bad Manners – Max Splodge – at The Warehouse – Aberdeen, UK
December 29, 2009
Tonight we take in the Annual Christmas show with Bad Manners, Max Splodge, at The Warehouse.
Max Splodge (front man for Splodgenessabounds) plays what is known as Punk Pathetique that involves humor and working class cultural themes. Using some of Bad Manners as his band he is very entertaining and brings a slice of Punk rock to tonight’s proceedings.. Singing “2 Little Boys” “Hurry Up Harry” and finishes of with his hit “2 Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps Please”.
Bad Manners come on and play an instrumental till Buster comes on with his traditional leopard suit and shouts “This is Ska” and the show has begun, with Buster singing with his trademark sticking out of his tongue.
We are given 75 minutes of Ska and loads of dancing. “Fatty Fatty” where Buster rubs his stomach with glee, never more someone so proud to be of a larger size. “Special Brew” has me dancing away as it is one of my fave songs. “Sally Brown” is another favorite with the crowd.
And the set finishes off with the "Can can" with everyone going home very happy.
