THE SHINE - LIVE @ LIZARD LOUNGE / Saturday August 25th, 2007

The final headlining act for the night is a touring glamrock band from Melbourne called The Shine and no despite all efforts (or my seriously badass photography skills *cough*) the overload of shots you're about to witness here could not hope to fully capture the mindblowing wank and cheese intensity that erupted forth from stage. Imagine Motley Crew combining forces with Aerosmith, Warrant, Thin Lizzy, The Darkness and Van Halen and you still couldn't make a cow big enough to match the cheese production, if they ever played a double bill with fellow Melbournites Airbourne we'd all die from the lactose overload and if Dominoes ever dared to kidnap these guys to add to their artery clogging triple cheese and cheesy crust pizza recipe then they'd damn near usher in the Apocalypse. The Shine were nothing short of the most hilarious circus act I've seen all year. Still, as much as I'm laughing my arse off as they attempt to throw power-wanking rock moves into nearly every single damn one of my shots, I gotta hand it to them they REALLY know how to put on one fuck of an A-grade performance! You monkeys can party on down here aaanytime! :)

Understandably so, things get just a LITTLE bit out've hand near the end of their set as Penmonicus is invited to invade the stage with about 10-15 of his drunken friends (an act I admit I was a little guilty of joining in on meself *cough*), before the band proceeds to rock out with the remainder of the crowd OFF the stage. Translation: throw away the cheese, the cow and that pizza, we got our apocalypse and a bucket of chicken right along with it! FUCK YEAH!!
