Fast forward and Lotus Fucker is playing in Manchester England with Active Minds and Thieving Bastards. I'd never heard of TB but Bene (TB drums) was our roadie in the UK and I am keen to see him play. They are absolute shite. I'm in awe. My jaw is on the floor. I can't believe bands still play this style in 2012. My mind is blown. I immediately offer to do a record for them. And they politely decline because they're not really a band that makes records.
