OCTOBER 2004
SPiT
LiKE THiS
VOTED “TRASHiEST BAND IN THE UK”
(Surrey,
UK) SPiT LiKE THiS won the title “THE TRASHiEST BAND
IN THE UK” on the 5th October in London, England.
The
competition was held at the famous Underworld Club, Camden and
featured some of the country’s top rock bands.
Zion, founder member and frontman of SPiT LiKE THiS
stated after the victory:
“Frankly,
if we hadn’t won, it would have been a travesty.
Even before the night we knew that we would win.
We have ALWAYS maintained that we were the TRASHiEST
BAND IN THE UK and now we have the title to prove it.
I am glad that our accomplishments have been recognised
by our peers and fans alike.”
Voting
on the night was done, in part, by the judge’s opinion and
by the audience reaction.
SPiT LiKE THiS were the 3rd band on (out of
5) and their blistering 15 minute set tore the place apart,
climaxing in Zion’s infamous flaming ‘cock of rock’ and
the stage being rushed by topless fans.
After the final judging, Alex Kane from
“Antiproduct” said that “the screams were like
Beatlemania”! Zion
continues:
“We
have the most amazing army of fans called SLuTz.
They truly are the most decadent and debauched bunch of
reprobates a band like us could hope to have!”
Acey
Slade, guitarist for the MURDERDOLLS, was behind the idea - he
decided to give "the chance of a lifetime" to a
lucky U.K. band. From
his original press release:
“While
on tour with his new group, TRASH LIGHT VISION, Slade will be
searching for a band to bestow the title "Trashiest Band
in the U.K." upon. Finalists will get to open for TRASH
LIGHT VISION at their London show on Tuesday, October 5 at The
Underworld. The winner will be picked at the show by Acey,
Alex Kane from the band ANTIPRODUCT, and will be based in part
on audience participation. The winning group will receive a
prize pack with gifts from Manic Panic, D'Andria guitar pedals
and effects, Sanctuary Records, BC Rich Guitars, Merch Monster
Clothing, air time on Total Rock Radio, TRASH LIGHT VISION
merchandise, and items from the Bats store in Manchester, most
of it packed in Acey's personal backpack. The entire concert
will be filmed for Detonator TV, who encourage the
participating acts to behave as decadently as they chose”
