SkaPunkMusicMan's Review

This show was held in the saxophone player of the wiggums backyard. I guess this show was the third show they held in his backyard, because there was huge banner that said "BACKYARD SHOW 3" behind the stage. it was an awesome set up back there. and they had about 100 people show up!

The Almost was the first band. They had only been around for 2 weeks I think so they only had 2-3 songs and no name. but they still did an excellent job. They did a Dead Kennedy's Cover and an Almost original excellent job.

Then it was Ping Pong Pete And His Ping Pong Posse (PPPahPPP) the singer of PPPahPPP is also the guitar player for the wiggums. they did an excellent job as well, my favorite song is there 80's butt rock anthem "you gotta loose control!" or there punk rock song "yatzee nazi" I wish they did more shows though.

the Luxurious Panthers were.....ok? think blink 182 but instead of little girls flashing there boobs a bunch of rowdy "punks" throwing water bottles and yelling obscene things. They know there like blink 182 because they even did 2 blink covers. I don't think allot of the people there liked them so with the last 3 minutes of there set they did a hardcore interlude.

Most of the people at this show were there to see the wiggums who were up next! they made a banner just for the show that had Christmas lights around it! they did an AWESOME job and got to play all there songs that I know of. they seemed a little more loose and comfortable about this show then the one at Boston's I think, because they were playing for there friends and there friends are gunna cheer them on no matter what they do! they sold allot of merchandise and I think they had allot of fun!

hmmmm.....the household appliances were...eh? I didn't really care to see them, so I didn't I talked to Andy and the rest of the wiggums about there (at the time) upcoming show with save ferris! (which was later canceled) Andy was telling me about the other 2 backyard shows and how the cops have never come and the neighbors never complain and a few minutes later....a cop comes over to stop the show, he said they had some complaints from neighbors. hahahaha. oh well it ended early and I had a fun time. best show I have seen the wiggums play.
