Punkle me

Last night was a trip to Fibbers to seem some Germans. More of them later. Sixty6 were first on. I saw them many times last year, but this was, by quite a long way, the best performance I've seen them give. It was like someone had stuck a rocket up them. Very good. But... please, please stop introducing Sometimes as your "pop song". It's starting to get annoying.

The on to Wasted. I don't know anything about them, but they sounded very like Green Day. If you closed your eyes... There was one big difference though. The singer was a big chap - big to the extent that he made those around him look small. It was like looking at Willy Wonka surrounded by munchkins, or Gandalf walking through The Shire. Except he looked nothing like Messers Wonka or Dalf.

Headlining tonight, were The Punkles. A band of Germans whose set is entirely comprised of Beatles songs in the style of Punk. Here they are:

There is no possible way in the world that you could not be entertained by this.

The fact that Willy Wonka was never with Munchkins in the book or film is not the point. All I referred to was that IF he was surrounded by munchkins... However unlikely this might be. Mr Wonka = Big. Munchkins = Small. Hence desired contrast. So there.
