TOP NIGHT
.
the charity night at the LION CAS was a blast
.
everyone was up for it from the word go and played their bollox off
.
NO MERCY FOR PERCY were up first in their nappies and baby bonnets
.
(sam has to pay a fortune when he dresses up like that)
.
sam eric said
'
' NMFP were ace! A great, spirited effort from a young band who seem to have sussed the need for out and out entertainment, and connecting with their audience already'
.
next up were the SPUNKSTERS, kitted out rather splendidly as the sheilas wheels girls
.

'Just like to say that The Spunksters were awesome at the Lion last night. Spent a few years back in the punk era, trying to get signed (along with band mate Sam Eric) so it was great to get a real feel of the energy from those days at last nights gig. Despite the Sheila's Wheels fancy dress Mal and the boys were able to produce a super tight, fast paced and entertaining performance that was perfect for the night. The packed (very sweaty) crowd absolutely loved it. Mal is a great front man, he worked the crowd expertly (I picked up some ideas!!) and the rhythm section was outstanding. A real tour de force. It was a great night for all concerned, including of course, the charity which benefited but the Spunksters made it special. Cheers lads'
.
then there was us in our (C)rappers gear
.
mal spunkster said
.
'The mighty Erics, they came on dressed as rappers, and blew the place apart, fantastic, and in one night in one small pub we raised £344, so a huge thank you to all the bands, bar staff and the utterly packed to the rafters pub full of people for their generosity and support, we have all agreed to do another near xmas time'
.

all in all a belter of a night, made even better knowing that a fair bit of cash was raised for mind

.

more pics to come when i get 'em

WEAR THE FOX HAT!!!!

we played our first gig down at the Fox & Newt last night and it was a belter
.
the place was rammed with the erics faithfuls and a fair few locals
,
meaning a total sweatfest from the word GO
.
great boozer, great atmosphere even better crowd
.
cheers again to everyone who turned up, and keeps turning up gig after gig, we really appreciate it
.
and whats all this then, sam with a quiff (spelt with a silent m)?
.
dont be daft!!
.
a big thanks to jerry and trisha who have only been in the pub a few weeks, but made us feel very welcome and enjoyed the band, plus they got the beers in at the end of the night

we're really looking forward to going back there in sept

OUR NEXT GIG
.
its our first time down at the fox, and it would be great if we could get a few of the erics faithful down there
.
its a smallish venue
(but theres still room to boogie down at the front)
and we reckon it should be a great atmosphere, and hopefully become a regular on the erics calender
.
its only a couple of mins walk from leeds town hall, so so why not leave the car at home
get the bus down
and get pissed.
hope to see you there
