minuet, v8's and zepplin
Hamilton is all about honesty. We like to keep it real. We do not try to act like something we are not. we are honest hamiltron.
Indeed, is victoria st after dark not the bogan boulevard of the waikato basin? Wot say you radio listeners ?
Instead of trying to distance ourselves from the slings and arrows of outrageous mockery for being a bunch of ill mannered motorheads as fiercly anti homosexual as te rapa strait, as black as the ace of spades as bogan as bo derek in a belmont….we celebrate it. Oh yes. We like our exhausts chromed. we like fast jap cars. we like big holdens. We like fords. We like to drive up ….. and down. we like black and van halen and slayer and pantera and acdc and stereo systems that put the o into stereo and jimmy barnes at the waihi pub. We like it loud. We are true citizens of this fair town. We like standing up and being counted and will place the counter on the dashboard for all to see how we like it counted.
And yes our mayor elect has washed his hands of ever trying to wrestle hamilton out of the savage barbs of verbal abuse we suffer on a national scale. He single handedly masterminded our cities identity as one of petrol headedness, forever I fear, and other shall never never forget. We are tainted and taunted. Hamilton the land of petrol. Where booze and fags and tight jeans is the currency of champions. Yes resource management act willing, mr mayor redman will invite a fleet of super v8’s to hamilton. It is our very own latter day pearl harbour but without the surprise. We will not lose our battleships and aircraft carriers in this calamity… no friends the honest truth is much worse… even now I sense my own soul slipping into a vacuum of self loathing and lostness as hamiltron slides into a black pit of shame, lion red and carbon monoxide.
The pits may be in mill st but the real pits is yet to be unleashed.
Other cities have culture, decorum, a sensibility. We are still obviously still standing at the pak and save of culture with an empty shopping cart waiting at the check out…….
The sign on the way out of town on morrinsville road has the words hamilton in green script on a completely black background. We are honest. We know we are a black hole and we might as well broadcast it to tourists and locals alike. Hamilton. We never pretend. We are very honest.
And there was no solace at the hamilton garden art festival. As I looked to the hamilton arts festival to restore my belief in class and virtue and a modicum of respect all is yet again lost. On the bill for opening weekend was The led zep tribute band. …yes marlbourough you might have vineyards to die for, and the international sevens tournament wellington, and queenstown the winter festival… but hamilton trumps allcomers with the led zep tribute covers band arts festival and the petrol head bogan fest in 2008 only awaits us. I do not honestly know listeners whether to laugh or cry… but im sure satan is alive and well and sometimes I hear voices whispering to me to run to the hills or scottsman’s valley or boys high gully or seek refuge in the mormon temple.
Yet I have not jumped from whitiora bridge because I know I have a friend in minuet. Yes minuet the breakbeat act will be at catalyst on march 10 for their first ever gig in the tron. The 3 piece on the cover of this months nz musician magazine, the girl with pink undies and proud, the kick ass beat merchants of joy will unleash their new album and hamiltron can at least remove the razor from the wrist, albiet temporarily, in their honour.
Minuet – march 10 at catalyst. Save yourselves listeners…
