NOSTALGICCA



I forgot to mention the name of the band, and here's some pics.

We have a bar-snack as we wait for the band "Nostalgicca" to start. The drummer is very friendly , Thai guy called "Roy-ng" - he looks like a Thai version of "Brett Michaels from Poison". Beautiful silky long black hair - I'm so jealous. Tere strikes up a conversation with him and when he finds out Tere also plays drums - well they are best buddies!
Lead singer is a dodgey short pot-bellied swiss guy with a wispy mullet. He enjoys making crass comments about women in between songs. For any of you that have watched "Black Books" he's the spitting image of Manny.
While we watch Nostalgica thrash out the rock cover we meet an English guy called Gordon and his very camp "friend" a young Thai guy.
Gordon explains to us that everyone thinks they are gay, although he assures us they are not.....OK Gordon, sure... Excuse me for awhile while I have a fag-hag boogie with your Extremely camp "friend" to ACDC's "TNT". Quite a weird combo dancing with such an affeminite guy to ACDC.

After Nostalgicca's nostalgic set is over the drummer joins us again. I watch him and Tere in deep discussion about which drummers they are influenced by and observe Roy-ng flicking his lovely hair over his shoulders every minute or so. Roy-ng likes Dream Theatre and Tommy-Lee. I imagine that he would also love to have a set complete with pyrotechnics, although to be fair they did have dried-ice and a HUGE King Kong sculpture above them. Roy-ng tells us that his other band is playing tomorrow night - they are a Metallica tribute band - unfortunately we will be in
Ko Phi Phi...we are geniunely disappointed, that would've been fantastic - maybe he would've hit the gong...
We say our goodbyes to Roy-ng and Gordon and his boyfriend and head back to our room for zzzzz

Ah Jupp ! Cheers for the comments. The band was playing 70s and 80s classic hard rock covers - e.g. Bon Jovi, Iron Maiden, Ozzy etc.
