We Skullfucked Pikachu are local legends in Norwich, and in the prime were one of the biggest crowd pullers.
Though the line up varied, it always stuck to it's principles of not practicising, not having songs, and utterly destroying the venue, equipment, and band members.
Unfortunately it all died horribly at their last gig, when Ross was missing. Highlights from the night:
- Jam the Drummer: Pissed, or at least tipsy. Broke his bass drum pedal, so threw it away.
- Kit the Lead Guitarist: Completely in a world of his own. Playing his own rhythms, changing rhythms through the duration of the songs, making keeping up with him an impossibility.
- Lil the Guitarist: Guitar lead kept cutting to the point of having no sound, and microphone didn't work. He gave up, and walked off to get a pint.
- Bil the lead bassist lost interest soon after and wandered off for a spliff returning for a quick solo on Kit's BC Rich.
- Hobsy the actual bassist kept face and kept rocking whilst standing atop his amp looking viking godly.
All in all, a terrible gig with strange semi-songs, and Jimmy Eat World. It was shambolic in a bad way, not the good way. The failure of this final gig is blamed by many on the fact that there was an actual confirmed line up of musicians who not only knew each other and had practiced before hand, an previously unheard of act to WSP.
It's always worrying when the highlight of the night is a band called Raging Fuck Death featuring a singer off his face on mushrooms, wearing a dress, and screaming.
Most of the band have gone off in persuit of other projects since.
