The Erics: July 2006

great night at the keys

.
AGAIN

.

another stormer at the cross keys Morley

.

great to see so many new faces, thanks to people like mal from vanishing point (where was your drummer, Albert?), baz from MoJo, all the team sober biker lot including Steve and Charlie, plus all the usual nutters who turn up time after time to see us

.

and even though it was hotter than phils codpiece after the 800m hurdles, we really went for it

.

also big birthday shout to Colin who got up and did a rather splendid job of vocalising on 'local boy'

.

a bit of a rest for us now due holiday commitments and community service orders

.

hope to see you all down at the

The New Roscoe
fri 11th aug

for our LEEDS SEA CADETS fundraiser

more details to come

.

hope to start sticking stuff on the eric pics bit again soon, so if you've got any photo's from a gig (not just of the band, audience shots too)

let us have 'em

.

CHEERS

sick of all things summer?

.had enough of the BBQ's, the sunburn and having to drink vast amounts of alcohol?
.
well why not throw away the loungers, the half cooked sausages, the dodgy sun hats and join us in a nice (hopefully) packed cross keys and sweat your nuts off in the company of some of the sexiest people around, whilst still drinking vast amounts of alcohol

.

it is a well known fact that the erics and their faithful followers are some of the sexiest hunky chunkers around

.

with their outstanding dress sense and expensive tastes in take away food, only the best will do in this modern world of designer fashions

.

so make it to the cross keys Morley

this sat 22nd July

and complete your life

.

photo request 234

GLORIOUS SUNSHINE + YORKSHIRE COUNTRYSIDE + THREE BURGER VANS + LOADSA BEER + CLEAN PORTALOOS + A SOUNDSYSTEM BIGGER THAN GODS + LIGHTS TO MATCH + 800 BIKERS + THE BIGGEST TENT EVER

=

THE 10th SEWER RATS GET RATTED BASH

.

this may well have been the best ever erics gig ever in the history of all things erics

.

we were just blown away by the size of it

(OOER)

.

plus they even catered for veggies with bad gut problems

.

sam loved his sprout dandylion and kiwi fruit vindaloo wrap

.

yes, i know its not david baily

but if you close one eye and squint, you can just about see our heads in the above pic

(better pics to come when the propper photo guy sends em)

and hopefully, thinking that linda was halfway down it, you will get some idea of the size of the bloody tent

.

top night

.

see you all at the

cross keys

sat 22nd july

.

IT DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT
.
but I am going to have to agree with Sam

.

it has been commented on by the erics faithful at gigs, and I too have noticed a difference in pauls appearance over the last twelve months

.

but it was only recently after going thru pauls pockets before washing his fave chinos and miami vice baggy lemon jacket (we do all live in the same house, like the monkees, but a bit smellier) that I found a receipt for MR WIGGY'S SYRUP SHOP where he had purchased a 'Charles Bronson' special

(the moustache was free)

.

from this, I can only conclude that he has been using too strong a detergent which has caused the natural Mr Bronson death wish darkness to fade to a sub Steve Martin father of the bride lightness

so

whatever

you

do

please

don't

.

VOTE FOR SAM

-HOW OLD-

.
you may not have noticed but the erics mini poll (to the right and down) has recently changed and now asks you to vote for who you think is the oldest looking eric

.

it is a well known fact that paul is the oldest member of the band, clocking in at 94 years of age

.

but we are after the oldest looking
,

we want this to be as fair a system of voting as we possibly can

.
so slogans like
.
VOTE FOR SAM

.
are not allowed

.

so if you do see a slogan like

.

VOTE FOR SAM

.

please do ignore it

.

we want this to be a fair fight

.

VOTE FOR SAM

.

TEAM - YES

SOBER - NO

.

played the team sober biker get-together at harefield hall, pately bridge on sat nite

.

had a great night, our best there so far, and everyone was up for it big time

.

i know that a lot of bikers can look a bit scary if you don't know em, but they are some of the nicest guys 'n' gals you would ever want to meet

.

and they sure know how to party

.

its the sewer rats do next week

800 pissed up, sweaty, half naked , tattooed, bikers in the middle of a field

.

can't wait

.

VOTE FOR SAM

LAZY SUNDAY AFTERNOON
