Band Profile: The Bastard Son Of Charlie Brown

Added on May 31, 2006

It all started when Pipi db went on a adventure to discover the finer things in life by renting a house in St Helens. He lived with "The grinning geezer" (Jim the happiest guy in the world!) and after learning NOFX'S The Decline and playin it over and over again untill blood was drawn and sweat beaded every essence of Pipi db's kit, they decided to start a band. Pipi db (being the alcoholic he is) strolled into a bar in St Helens to see one of his female friends working behind the bar. This Irish friend knew of another worker that was looking to start a band (some weirdo from the depths of wigan). After years of dicking around in other bands like Franklin and Down on haley, Jizz quit it all to put time into a project that would go somewhere. Jizz was introduced to Pipi db and since then became really good pals, using Pipi db's bedroom as the best place to get wrecked and create some rather OI! PUNK ROCK!. One day after playin a load of loud music and having to stop due to a noise curfew, Jizz and Pipi db discovered a snail in Pipi's back garden. It wasnt long before it became their beloved pet. They named it CHARLIE BROWN, but due to their lack of "knowing how to look after and care for a regualr garden snail" it died of an overdose in Pipi db's kitchen. Not only did they lose their beloved pet CHARLIE BROWN to tradgic circumstances, just weeks later jim had to move back down south to connect with his commitments, leaving Jizz and Pipi db looking for another bass player (beleive us this wasn't easy!). Jizz had an idea (thats a first!) "lets call my old lead singer from Down on haley and see if he'd play bass and sing for us" so Jizz gave Goober a call. Goober hadn't long been back from the U.S of A, and wasn't really up for anything major but he still said yes! Anyway, after a pissed up punk rock night in the good old city of Manchester watching the awesome No Use For A Name.... the newley aquainted band ended up scoring weed off No Use's Squirrel (nice one Pipz you hard faced BASTARD!) and Goober got the Bastard Son big welcome by having a cup of tea and coffee made in his arse whilst pinned down. The day after Jizz realised he'd had too much Absinth (after being warned many many times of the effects!) and showered not only Piccadilly station but almost every toilet he went past with 100% lime green projectile vomit... Since then The BASTARDS have been on many adventures including Car crashes!, partys and Damn good nights on the town! and things have been going swell and these boys have been playin there arses off! playing with the likes of NO COMPLY, SONIC BOOM SIX, BILLYCLUB and other local bands such as SMUDGE. Even playing venues such as The Carling Acadamy (Liverpool), The Acadamy (2) Liverpool university, And the Liverpool Barfly thanx to the scottish event organisers Emergenza.
