Lettuce Entertain U Tour 2007 Rider Update

Due to Human Cabbage's outrageous demands for the Lettuce Entertain U Tour 2007 Rider, our Manager Dill "the Leaf" Docken has said that the budget won't stretch as far as 4 Limos and that only 3 can be available - my personal DC-3 must be paid for out of the transport budget Cabbage you a-hole!

Meanwhile, the gig at the WeatherHeights Dodgeball Arena was way out, way outta town Docken you bastard!
Hardly anybody turned up because they couldn't reach the venue and those who did spent more time in the Mall two blocks away as it was late night shopping.
You missed a great show...

We played as follows

Stand By For Recycler
Ozone Assassins
Cholesterol Damage
Feel My Dump
Animal Doctor
Green Giants
Forest Chump
Suck My Root

and the encore cover songs
Sweet Leaf
Nantucket Sleighride
and finally our new demo single
Nutrients Exhausted

Cabbage was drunk again!

Next Show

We didn't manage to play the show with fellow green metallers HDV (Homo Divinus Verde) and GreenFly, as the planned side project to the Live Earth. The bands charter contract for 3 Learjets fell through and the replacement DC-3 was grounded by the FAA on safety grounds before we could leave Caulfield-Brubaker Airport. So we were left frustrated unable to reach the edge of Canada's tundra and putting on the gig. Fans were disappointed at not hearing our set and seeing Vimina dressed in a fur bikini aka One Million Years B.C

Lord Vegan has recovered from his bout of Bird-flu (i.e. STD caught from some chick, rumoured to be as a result of last month's liason- see earlier posts).

Next gig is:

WeatherHeights Dodgeball Arena at 8pm on 28th July, get there early for the big giveaway at 9

Certified vegans and chicks in string vests get in for free.

See you there
