Paw
Too right. Hey did I ever tell you my story?
No. Let's hear it.
Paw toured Australia in Novemeber 1995 to support Death To Traitors. Dragline is one of my favourite albums and this was going to be massive. I had tickets to 2 Sydney shows on the Thursday and Friday and I was flying up to Brisbane for the Livid festival on the Sat (also my 20th bday). So night 1 was a great show in a great venue (Metro cap 2000). Night 2 was awesome and I was front row (Narrabeen Sands cap 500-700). Livid festival I was once again front row main stage (approx 20,000). They were on around 5pm and I can't remember much of the rest of the day (I saw Rollins though).
The next day we discover that they're playing a show about an hour south on the coast, tickets on the door. As we get off the bus we discover there's no more buses north till around 6am. Turns out there were only about 20 poeple there that night. Mark and Grant recognised us (plus some girl that was next to me at Livid) and proceeded to take requests and pass out their rider amongst us. After the show the come out for a chat, invite us backstage and partake in the local bush buds etc. After a few hours sleep on the beach we just got back to our hotel to check out before heading to the airport. They were on the same plane heading to Sydney. I was sitting next to Doc Neeson of Aussie band The Angels and my mate was sitting next to a priest when Grant stumbles on the plane and proceeds to freak out about the fucking aussie weed we consumed last night. Hilarious and unconfortable.
About a week or so later they added another Sydney show at The Annandale (maybe 1000). Of course we're there again and they not only remember us but remember that I'm a drummer. They called me up on stage to share the kit for Pansy and Death To Traitors. Not much can top that shit for a buzz.
It was a few years before my band played either The Annandale but that memory will live with me forever. Fuck I love that band.

what a great story! to say i'm jealous would be beyond understatement. of the bands that formed my youth, there were 3 that i never had the chance to see: nirvana, alice (with layne), and paw. if i could go back in time and see just one, it's paw, hands down. dragline is a fucking masterpiece. in my head i know death to traitors isn't as good, but i like it just as much. those records just sound like where i'm from. mark and grant played together under the paw moniker in lawrence maybe 5 or 6 years ago, and i was all set to drive down, but my parents offered to come down and help me work on my house. i wanted to tell them i had plans, but the work really needed to be done. i have regretted that decision ever since. i know now that i'll never see paw, and even if they did play a show, they'd be old men years past their once mighty form. still, i spin those records all the time. they never get old. they're sort of like crawling inside the brother's sleeping bag for me.
There is more kindness on the internet than we would care to admit to ourselves. Sometimes we are so afraid of falling victim to a ruse, we miss out on actual opportunities.

this. Great albums and DTT is very good but not as good. Did you ever get Keep The Bullet For Yourself and the Palomar album?
