Anybody with even a fleeting interest in what ‘the kids’ are listening to these days will have heard of Hollywood Undead, through either video games, TV, MySpace or the completely divided press opinions of the Californian sextet.
Screams literally litter Newcastle’s university today at the mere mention of The Blackout‘s co-frontman Sean Smith, so most of today’s queue goes slightly AWOL and scatters at a chance to meet him in person. Nonetheless, a LOT of people have turned out for the Welsh six-piece today, as have many for the buzz around new flavour band, Hollywood Undead.
After spending hours in the sweltering heat, harassing bands and folk in the queue for on-the-spot interviews, as well as handing out D.I.Y. changetherecord.net ‘business cards’ in the form of notepad paper written in biro, accumulating some attractive sun burn and getting fat off essential pre-gig food (Morrison’s mini-doughnuts) along the way, 3pm finally arrived and doors opened. Holy run-on sentence.
People have literally camped overnight for this one, Slam Dunk is bigger than ever, expanding to 6 stages and a DJ set bar now, and this one is packed out with lots of different colours, (and bands mingling in and out, Sean Smith of the Blackout’s hair sticks out like a sore thumb) and the excitement is ecstatic as people rush to their chosen stages for the day.
Well, 20 degrees outside and not a cloud in the sky, this sunny afternoon in Leeds promised to be quite the event. Meeting many bands beforehand and soaking in the excitement of the fans lying in wait, it is plain to see that the sweltering heat isn’t going to dampen today’s exploits. 5000 people are piled into the university today, and although breathing space was at a minimum, the atmosphere was undeniable.
