Think of something crazy gnarly, like putting a piece of string around a tooth and the other end around the back wheel of a Hell's Angel's Harley. Like that wild and gnarly. Well not that wild an gnarly, but you get the idea of just how loose the Scallywaggs and friends were on the first stop of the Bad Bones Bad Habits Tour.
Stopping in at the Small Ballroom the Scally's had invited their Newcastle pals, PALS. The Port Mac/Wollongong drongos Stale Cakes probably their last show (RIP). Along with Mild West who were the biggest surprise of the night (watch out for these guys) and Red City.
To describe The Small Ballroom is, well, a small venue with one bar, a stage, some lights and usually one or two security guards. Which makes for one hell of a time, and this had it all. Stage dives in the supporting acts, all female mosh-pits, that one dude who smells of piss and dances a little too aggressively and too close to you and your mates, you know all the good shit.
When the Los Scallywaggs came on stage it was all mayhem. People stage diving between songs, mic grabs left and right, the bassist Dale strumming with a beer, and the security being single handily kept under wraps by one young lad called Isaac by attempting to make out with her numerous times. So the Scallys have been on the radar for a long time now and have a few handy numbers in their phone books to brag about like, Festival Of the Sun, Snake Pit and the most recent Spaghetti Fest with Skeggs and Pist Idiots to name a few.
I could go on talking shit, but just go see them live, they're continuing their tour the next few months. Check them out instagram - @los_scallywags where you can find all the info.
