Midtown at the Sallis Benney Theatre, Brighton

Notable for a few reasons, firstly minor local celebrities The Ordinary Boys opened up and played twenty minutes of blitstering straight up kid dynamite-style fast punk, yep no ska, bizarrely they later became a benchmark for chav indie producing some of the worst records in recent history. Secondly New Jersey heart throb and Midtown front man Gabe Saporta threw a hissy fit at the guitarist during "Frayed Ends" which soured the whole evening. Sam Preston later confided in me that Midtown's dressing room was entirely filled with sweets. A few weeks later we returned to the same venue to watch Jets Vs Sharks and The International Noise Conspiracy tear the school hall type venue apart.
