about

In October 2015 HELLBASTARD embarked on yet another gruelling tour of Europe.

Taking in around 16 countries,.... One show was cancelled and this live recording is a great example of a show set up by the good people of LEIPZIG,... within a matter of hours. the venue that came to the rescue is called LIWI,.... and it was absolutely rammed & a great time was had by all. Word travelled fast that we were playing and we didn't expect to see anyone really,... especially a mid-week gig.

After this show we went onwards to Hungary, Prague, Belgium, france, etc etc. . Many more stories about this tour but far too much to type here. Some of the 'highlights' were :

Scruff Almost being beaten savagely by a Hungarian shop owner.
Scruff being saved by driver & merch guy from being beaten savagely by a Hungarian shop owner.
Awful accident to merch guy & his hand being savaged by a moving bicycle chain in Hamburg.
Going into the submarine on DRY DOCK in Hamburg.
Playing the legendary "KOPI" in Berlin,... again !
Cops pointing guns at us and smiling almost everywhere (...remember this was during the 'terror' alerts of Europe & the now infamous Paris Bataclan venue shootings.)
Playing a great set & being treat like royalty in Zagreb, Croatia.
Being told off for taking a piss on grass near a venue, where no one was present (Scruff just got 'caught', that's all FFS)
Drummer Steve 'Joint' Lea stagediving on EVERYONE in a small bar that shut its' doors to accomodate a private party. Ouch! it hurts...
Meeting many friends all over europe, old & new.

This show was recorded by Scruff in the most punk rock way possible, gaffa-taping his Zoom HD-1 recorder to his mic-stand onstage.

Only recently has HB guitar player Mr Danny "Bionicle" Guy re-visited this recording in his own studio & gave it a bit of a polish up. Please enjoy the live experience....

Sincerely

Hellbastard.

about

Hellbastard (Official UK) UK

Formed in 1985 in the North East of England in the midst of Thatcherism, Hellbastard set out to play what they wanted to listen to themselves.... too "metal" for the punks and too "punk" for the metallers - official hiatus began 1991, oficially re-formed in 2008 Hellbastard still bring a relevant lyric and sound to counter act against bland mediocre sub-standard radio friendly generic safety-rock. ... more
