[kj] SLF/KJ

[bongo]

yeah the mech in nz was all fucked up, only small sizes, someone said
they had sold out all the large in oz..

first support band here was good, psychobilly rock'n'roll kinda stuff,
not my usual taste, but very enjoyable...!
second band sucked arse... slappy ska punk shit ala sublime or some
shit. hated it. every song sounded the same... luckily they had a
short set!
