So, I arranged to take Marisa back to Cardiff where she was starting a new job in a new house with new housemates – exciting. We then see on Facebook that our Jamie was playing that night in Cardiff supporting his mentors ‘Wonk Unit’……result! Sent him a text saying we’d see him there “Food before? Beer after?? Guest list???” Whilst waiting for a reply we play some Wonk Unit and the first track we play goes along the lines of “ask me for guest list and you’re dead to me mothafukka!” – quick text “Je M’appelle Alex<\/a> – Hahaha” to which he replied “I wouldn’t dare ask him – I even buy tickets to Wonk gigs….and he’s our manager!”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

First up were BOTTLEKIDS<\/a> who had energy to burn and made a great noise. Reminded me of a poppy Metallica with their gutteral guitar sound cutting through. Good Stuff!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Next was Aerial Salad<\/a> who have come a long way since I last saw them. Tight as anything with a brace of new songs they rocked the Welsh Club. Jamie has adopted a manc swagger whilst wielding his guitar<\/a> that has the Stone Roses stamped all over it (fitting as he has the Roses lemon painting tattooed on his arm).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Last up were Wonk Unit<\/a> who are dead funny and happy to take requests from the crowd (except for a guest list obviously). Their albums are really catchy and have been on repeat since the gig. Punk was\/is all about doing it yourself and Alex via Wonk embodies this philosophy to the hilt (they even put on their own ‘Wonkfest’ Festival). Great to see them!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The night had been put on by the Cardiff Punk Rock Bowling society which was coming to an end after 11 years – the trophies were brilliant, especially the Joey Ramone ten pin trophy for most strikes – ace!<\/p>\n
