The story of the former Easter bunny Norris McNuggin is well known. Norris woke up one lovely Easter morning to find his lovely burrow ransacked and his wife-bunny murdered horribly in her bed. Norris went insane! He plundered his way through the local village of Black Prick with a hand-axe and destroyed everything and everybody in sight. His reign of terror terminated only when Raphael of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle fame and his friend Captain Planet saved the day by applying several Ninja kicks to the head, back and neck of Norris the Easter bunny, resulting in Norris collapsing onto the floor and quoting the Chief Injun’s final words in the SNES’s “Sunset Riders” video game. “Bury me with my… money.”

Anyway, after Norris died all was quiet till one day a gorilla came to the village and ate all the remaining people in it and all the bananas from the tree in the village. After devouring the last banana the Gorilla-named James-said “LAFT PRAN DEE BLACK FAM JAM KAMM!!” and then jumped into the air, did 3 and 1 quarter backflips said “FRAN AMMY GUM!” and then exploded into a million pieces of solid gold which were later found by travelers and used to rebuild the village of Black Prick. Black Prick is presently a striving community in the country of Amjam.

If however the gorilla hadn’t come along, and instead a small, white, goat had walked into the village, took a brief look around, had a wee and a poo and then began to eat its own poo and then took the rest of its poo into the local McDonalds and blended it into a McPooshake and sold them only with Super Size Filet O Fish meals and noone wanted a super size Filet O Fish meal so a team of youngsters ended up picking up a Ronald McDonald statue, painting its head purple and ramming it so far down the goats throat that the goat said “BIGG PEN!” and then the statue came out of the goat’s bum and the goat then blended that into a McStatueshake and everyone wanted one but the goat charged too much for it so he was clubbed with pickets reading “Goats eat Ban and JAM!” (deep breath)… THEN it would be quite similar to Enuff Squirrel’s 9th gig at the Wigan Collective. NOTE: Wigan is not in the vicinity of Amjam.

We got to the Collective quite early and watched our fellow bands (Appease, Kermitz Middle Finger and Slim) soundcheck. We then waited for AGES and then took the stage ready to rock. Sadly we didn’t rock… we ate gorilla ess (not the gorilla that destroyed the village!!). “A Reply To All Your Letters” was much like inhaling the foul odour of the gorilla ess whilst the rest of the set was much like feasting upon it with the appetite of a famished sumo wrestler. We ended the set on Fraggle Rawk and Munch Gorilla ess. The set sucked, we sucked and we were all full up due to consuming FAR too much gorilla ess!!

Anyway, if you came to the show for us then thankyou very very much. Thankyou to the beautiful Hazel Moon and her trusty sidekick Laura M Barnard for handing out Squirrely flyers across the nation, and a "Yo check" goes out to John Kermit for getting us the gig and for dedicating "Help" to the Squirrel! Now stare at pictures!!
