Dirty Sanchez Live @ Fibbers Saturday 23rd October 2010

It was a mental night at Fibbers Music Venue in York last night as Dirty Sanchez's Lee Dainton & Matt Pritchard stopped off on there UK Tour performing stomach churning stunts live on stage involving everything from fishing rod hooks, halogen bulbs, drum sticks & each others love juices. It was a fantastic turn out and the crowd were simply amazing.


One minor let down was that on the tickets we bought off ticketmaster  said that the gig started at 8pm but when we arrived at the venue the doors didn't actually open till 10:30pm and the boys did not start performing till 12:15am so in fact they was quite a lot of people annoyed that they had to wait for like 3 hours to get in.


We managed to get right at the front to witness all the mayhem on stage, and it was carnage with everything going on from drum sticks up the bum, guitars & light bulbs smashed over each others heads and the finale of Dainton   drinking Pritchards sperm.


I rate this gig 8/10 and would definitely go watch these guys again they are real crowd pleaser's and just mentally possessed to entertain people, we managed to get autographs and photos which will be following up this review on the blog soon so keep
posted.

Emerica STAY GOLD - Regional DVD Premiere Review.

We arrived in Northallerton dropping past the skatepark to see the Popcorn Skate boys and other various local faces on the north scene before swinging past morrisons on our way into the town to see the premiere. Ryan stopped off to get a bag of 69p choclate raisins apparently it is his healthy way of snacking rather then usuals you eat when going to see a film such as popcorn and crisps, on the other hand Fraser quenced his thirst with a can of monster, we headed out of morrisons and we both got lost down a back alley and got directions to the venue of the premiere off a bunch of northern street pirates, we both arrived at the venue grabbed our seats and sat back and watched the action.

One word sums up the Emerica STAY GOLD DVD and that is 'Incredible' the videography & artistic elements combine nicely with the in your face, urban street skating theme, everything that is skated in the video is huge and the trickery is all done with some much passion & style provided from the likes of Reynolds, Herman, Romero, Kirchart, Hsu, Long, Szafranski, Templeton, and more! after years of shredding and filming, dozens of magazine covers, teasers, trailers, and montages from your beloved Emerica team.

All the time, money, effort & pure imagination put in to this is unreal and is deffinately worth checking out they will be trailers kicking around on youtube and other various sites soon, i thoroughly recomend buying this DVD and it is worth every penny you pay for it, i can garantee you that after you have seen the breath taking scenes and effects in this video you will never forget a moment of it.

Best Section: Andrew Reynolds
Funniest Section - Jerry Hsu
Worst Section - there isn't one.

THE DVD IS OUT NOW!!! AND YOU CAN BUY IT FROM ALL GOOD SKATE SHOPS SPECIALLY THIS ONE. http://www.popcornskate.co.uk/prd_9701_Stay_Gold_DVD.asp
